How Long Does Perlane Last?

Perlane has been lasting from 6 up to 9 months in my practice over the past several years.

I tell my patients that Perlane lasts 9-12 months but it is slowly degrading and that they may want to come in for a touch-up at 6 months.If they need 2 syringes at the 1st visit, they will only need 1 syringe at 6 months.That keeps that close to 100% correction all year round!

Perlane is FDA approved to last 8-12 months; however, if a touch up of the product is performed at 4 months, you can expect it to last up to 18 months.  It will last longer in the cheeks and shorter around the nasolabial folds and lips.  Good Luck!

Perlane is formulated to last about the same as other hyaluronic acid based fillers. The difference in the products is the molecule size, which is much greater than that of Restylane or Juvederm and is typically used in areas with deeper volume loss.

Perlane is my filler of choice for midface volume correction.  The product is safe, effective, and feels natural.  I have treated a number of complications with other non-hyalorunic acid fillers in this area.  I tend to favor a slightly shorter duration versus greater risk and no reversibility. 

Perlane is made of hyaluronic acid; just like Restylane and Juvederm. It is thicker than Restylane, so it is best for treating the nasolabial folds. The manufacturer recommends anywhere from 4.5 months to 9 months for follow-up treatments. We have also noticed that patients who followed the treatment regimen regularly, they are seeing the results lasting up to 18 months.
