Perlane is better for deep wrinkles and volume restoration in large areas

Renato Saltz, 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 a more dense dermal filler.

For example, Restylane can be used for very subtle changes, such as defining a cupid’s bow. Perlane is better suited for deeper facial folds and adding volume to larger areas, such as the cheeks or chin.

Perlane can also be used for nasolabial folds.
