How are Perlane and Restylane Different?
Hello. Restylane and Perlane are both hyaluronic acid fillers distributed by Medicis in the US. Both products main ingredient is a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid and naturally occurring substance in the body.

Restylane vs Perlane
As mentioned there are only minor differences between the two. This issue is where to place each of these fillers.
That depends on your surgeon's experience and expertise. As we have significant experience with both of these we decide based on the finding on examination. it should be noted that many of the uses are FDA off label.

Restylane and Perlane
As has been stated here by many, Restylane and Perlane are both hyaluronic acid fillers made by the same company, Medicis. Juvederm is hyaluronic acid filler made by a competing company, Allergan.
In general, Perlane is a thicker product used for deeper fill and "adding volume" to the face, whereas Restylane is used more superficially in finer lines. Restylane is recently FDA-approved for lip augmentation as well. I have used Restylane and Juvederm in lips and I find they are...

Difference between Restylane and Perlane
Both products are hyaluronic acid fillers sold by Medicis. Perlane is a thicker product as a result of cross linking of the molecules. It is injected slighty deeper than Restylane. It is used when one wants to fill a deeper line such as deeper naso-labial folds and marionette lines. Restylane is used for more superficial naso-labial folds and what we call the tear trough area (which is below the eyes).

Perlane for deeper correction, bigger problems
Restylane is a smaller particle than Perlane -the number of linked together subunits is fewer and cross-linking less. This gives a softer, smaller particle which is better suited for superficial corrections such as lips, eyelids, and wrinkles. Perlane is better suited for deeper correction such as deep nasolabial folds, cheeks and hollowing under the cheeks.

What Are the Fundamental Differences Between Restylane and Perlane?
Great question. I tell my patients a very simplistic view. Restylane is one third less concentrated than Perlane or vice versa Perlane is 3x of Restylane. Not exact figures but very understandable.

Restylane versus Perlane
Both are excellent fillers that I have used for years in my practice. They really are used differently though in terms of targeting. Perlane for a deeper line fill while Restylane is used for fine superficial lines. Basically , they last about the same and also, I use Restylane in the lips. It works great there and both are very safe.

Perlane is a thicker product than Restylane.
I like to use Perlane in the laugh lines and marionette lines and for volumizing in the cheeks temples and brows. I like to use Restylane for the lips and for finer lines.

What is the difference between Restylane and Perlane?
Restylane and Perlane are the same hyaluronic acid dermal filler with one exception. Perlane has bigger particles than Restylane and is more suitable for deeper, larger folds and wrinkles than Restylane.
For example, I would use Restylane for under eye hollows and lips, but Perlane for nasolabial folds.

Restylane and Perlane
Perlane is a larger hyaluronic acid particle size with more cross-linking than Restylane. Perlane, because of its larger particle size and increased cross-linking, has a larger G prime than Restylane. This means that its ability to lift tissue is greater. For this reason, I tend to like Perlane over Restylane in the cheeks.
