Perlane vs Restylane

Steven Hacker, MD answers: Perlane vs. Restylane, what's the difference?

Before i get to the doctors office for my next appointment i want to know why a company called medicis is selling 2 products called "perlane" and "restylane" even though they are the same ingredients according to the website?  i want to get fuller lips and hide wrinkles.  Which injection, restylane or perlane, do I ask for?

Perlane is reserved for deeper folds and wrinkles and is placed slightly deeper under the skin while Restylane is used for more superficial wrinkles and lines. Both are excellent and can be used together. I typically do not use perlane in the lip area. They last equally long.
