It is true that Restylane and Perlane are the same material made by the same company. The difference between the two is the size of the particles of hyaluronic acid.
Restylane is smaller than Perlane. It is injected into the mid-dermis and is used for moderate wrinkles, lips and I do alot under the eyes.
Perlane is a larger particle and is therefore preferable for deeper folds and larger volume augmentation. It should be injected deeper in the skin (dermis).
A third form called Restylane Touch is even smaller but it has not yet been FDA approved for use in the United States.
