Q: Perlane vs. Restylane, what's the difference?
A:
Thanks for your question. You are correc that both of these fillers are comprised of Hyaluronic Acid. The difference is in the size of the molecules and what we use the products for. Restylane is a smaller product and is used for fine to moderate lines as well as lips. Perlane is a larger product so it is used for deeper lines as well as volume replacement. It can also be used for more dramatic lips.
