How Long Does Perlane Last?

I thought Perlane was supposed to last longer than other non-permanent wrinkles fillers, but a lot of the Perlane reviews on this site say that it didn't last very long.  How long is Perlane supposed to last?

Perlane results duration

Perlane typically lasts 6-12 months, but it depends where it is injected. If injected onto the cheekbones, I find it lasts around 12 months, while in the nasolabial folds and marionette lines it is 6-9 months since there is more movement in this area. Duration is partly affected by injection technique as well.

Perlane longevity is similar to Restylane and Juvederm

Perlane is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler material similar in structure to Restylane and Juvederm. It is processed to be thicker and designed for deeper wrinkles or subcutaneous augmentation. The duration of the filling effect seems to be similar to the other HA products. Realistically a 6-12 month effect is to be expected, depending on the location injected.

Perlane, Juvederm, Fill NLF's, Face Fillers

Perlane lasts about 8 months in my experience.  Radiesse lasts a  bit longer, typically around 12 months.  Both are great fillers and have their pluses and minuses.

Perlane lasts up to 12 months.

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 lasts up to about 9-12 months, 6 months is a good time for touch-ups

We will often use one to two syringes of Perlane for the tear trough and cheek bone area during the initial treatment.  We then recommend patients return at 6 month intervals and they typically will use only one syringe at that time. Perlane is a great choice for dermafillers because it has very few complications, gives nice filling results, and is reversible if ever needed. Good luck and take care. I'm very proud of my work with Perlane and  invite you to... more

How Long Does Perlane Last?

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.

Perlane is a great product and can last up to a year or longer. However...

What I tell all my patients is that all the hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus) last 4-6 months based on studies when no touch-up treatments are given.  However, it is very common for the bulkier fillers such as Perlane and Juvederm Ultra Plus can last much longer up to a year or longer.  However, it is dependent on several factors such as where the filler is being placed (areas of more movement such as the lips cause the product... more

Perlane last about 6 motnhs to a year

Perlane and Restylane are both hyaluronic acid fillers. Restylane results can last up to 18 months from the initial treatment of Nasolabial folds if you receive full correction and a follow-up treatment at 4.5 months or nine months per Medicis. I have noticed that patients get up to 8 months of full correction after initial treatment. and then need a follow up refinement.

Perlane lasts slightly longer than Restylane

Both Perlane and Restylane are hyaluronic acid fillers. Restylane typically lasts 4-9 months and Perlane slightly longer between 6-9 months. Both are reversible by hyaluronidase in the rare event of nodules.

Perlane duration

Perlane has lasted years in some of my patients and 6 to 9 months in others. It lasts longer if it is placed in the dermis as indicated. If placed too deep it will be gone in months. Be sure you are being injected by an experienced MD.

Perlane lasts for 6-8 months

Perlane lasts the same duration as Restylane. The difference in the two is related to where and when it is injected . Variables being the location and the size/depth of the wrinkle. The longest duration for Perlane that has been demonstrated was for the nasolabial folds and Perlane lasted 6-8 months. Generally, Juvederm will last a few months longer.

How long does Perlane last

Perlane is marketed as lasting longer than Restylane, from 9 months to a year. In my practice it does last longer, but shows great variability in duration from patient to patient. In my experience, results with all the fillers are better maintained if a full correction is done or if touch up injections are done before all the correction is lost.
