Modesto Restylane doctors

Both

• Both are made by Medicis
• Both are hyaluronic acid based
• Both cost in the $500-600 dollar range in our office per syringe

Restylane

• Comes in a "half" syringe (0.4 cc)
• Has a slightly smaller needle than Perlane for injections (thus it might hurt less)
• Can be injected more superficially
• Works better in the lips in my hands
• Is a smaller molecule
• Lasts a little bit shorter (4 weeks-6 weeks) than Perlane

Perlane

• Does not have a "half" syringe
• Has a slightly larger needle than Restylane for injections (thus it might hurt more)
• Can be injected deeper - great for deeper lines/folds
• Does work as well for me in the lips
• Is a larger molecule
• Lasts a little bit longer (4 weeks-6 weeks) than Restylane.
• Costs slightly more than Restylane per syringe.

We will choose each product based on:

• Location for filling (for example, around the eyes, we will usually choose Restylane)
• Depth of the folds (deeper ones, we will usually choose Perlane)
• Patient choice

We carry more filler products than just Perlane and Restylane, but to answer the question above, I just compared these two wonderful products.

Note that these answers may change with time as the manufacturer makes different decisions about the packaging of the products.

Please see your doctor in person for a personalized answer to your own specific situation.
