How Long Does Perlane Last in Nasolabial Folds?

Tags: nasolabial folds, longevity
I was on a cruise.I had perlane-L 1 ml syringe per each side for nasal folds. I was told it would last 2-3 years and 9-12 months for the dysport in my forehead. This seems to differ from information I'm reading on the net. I paid 1600 + 400 for the 2 treatments. The doctor told me she had specific training in the perlane injections and did them in such a way they would last much longer. I'm very happy with the result so far 2 weeks post. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks

Filler duration. Perlane. You get out of it what you put in.
Fillers fill. Period. We have more choices of FDA approved materials to fill with than ever in history. Perlane is the larger particle big-brother of Restylane. It lasts longer, as it takes the body longer to break down large particles. Pelane as a stand-alone filler? Duration is about a year. Perlane done in concert with other fillers layered beneath the Perlane or above it? Maybe two years. The more layers you treat with more products,...

Perlane, Juvederm, Fill NLF's, Face Fillers, Restylane
Perlane typically lasts between 6-9 months and the average for our Perlane patients seems to be about 8 months.
Radiesse lasts about a year but can sometimes look like a cord when placed into the NLF's that's visible when you smile or animate the mouth.
If you're looking for something that lasts longer, you might consider Sculptra that requires 2-3 treatments spaced at 6 weeks apart to get full correction that lasts up to 2 years.
For a quick, easy NLF fill, nothing...

How long does Perlane and Dysport last?
My wife recently attended a free talk on a cruise and the doctor encouraged both Perlane and Dysport for her. The fees were considerably more than my own and others charge in my area. It sounds to me that the doctor you saw overstated the durations of the treatments. I would say that Perlane lasts 6-12 months and Dysport 3-6 months.

How long does Perlane last?
Typically hyaluronic (such as Perlane, Restylan, and the family of Juvederm products) last about 6-9 months. Although there are bound to be some differences in how patients metabolize injectables this tends to be a a fraction of the average not twice as long. I'm not sure how this injector could promise you the above is not clear. I'm not aware of any injection techique available that will make the filler last longer Dysport as Botox, generally lasts 3-4 months. Perhaps these...

Had Perlane on a cruise: was lied to about how long it will last.
Traced,
I am so glad you are happy with how your treatments look, because at least you came away pleased. But you were definitely misled about what you were investing in. Perlane lasts 6 to 12 months, maybe 18 at most, since you did have a significant amount placed. Dysport is more like 3 to 4 months. Six at absolute most. Sounds to me like the person (doctor? not doctor?) on the cruise was a good marketer, and knew you'd be off the ship and unable to complain in the future.
Enjoy...

How Long Does Perlane Last in Nasolabial Folds?
Perlane and Dysport are both great products. But they do not last as long as you were told no matter what technique is used. On average the Perlane lasts 6-12 months and the Dysport 3-6 months. It also seems that you paid a high price for the treatments. If you are happy with the results that is great. You may need a touch up on the Perlane at 4-6 months. Also need to redo the Dysport at 3-4 months!
Good luck!

How long do injectables last?
Greetings Traced~
Regardless of special training or technique, I can't say I've ever known these products to last as long as you were told. We advise our patients that Dysport will last 3-6 months (realistically 3-4) and Perlane will last 9-12 months, but should be touched up to keep it at it's best at around 6 months. I wish you the best of luck and hope it does last as long as they said but don't get your hopes up.
Best of luck~

How long does Perlane and Dysport last
The length of time that Perlane and Dysport can last varies with individuals. In general, the effects of Perlane will last from 9 to 12 months. Dysport has an effect of 3 to 6 months. By using a larger volume of filler or a longer lasting filler, such as Juvedern Ultra, you may be able to extend the results a few more months and avoid having to have the procedure repeated as frequently.

Longevity of hyaluronic acid fillers
Perlane or Juvederm Ultra Plus typically lasts 6-12 months. I have not seen the effect of currently available hyaluronic acid filler to last beyond 14 months. Botox or Dysport typically lasts 3-6 months for vast majority of patients.

Perlane and Dysport
Fillers last about 6 to 9 months - in some people shorter and in some people longer depending on how the body clears it away. Dysport lasts 3 to 4 months - there is a new medication out called Zytase that if taken before injection can prolong the effects of dysport/ botox.

Perlane
Normally, Perlane will last about 6-12 months and Dysport 4- 6 months. The product metabolizes different patient to patient.

Perlane lasts six to twelve months in the nasolabial folds. It may last shorter in more dynamic folds and lines on the face.

Duration of Perlane and Restlyane
Traced,
There is no reason to believe that Perlane injected into your nasolabial folds will last 2-3 years or that Dysport injected into your forehead will last 9-12 months. Although injections in different areas of the body and in different patients vary in their duration of effect, a reasonable guideline is 6 months for the Perlane and 3 months for the Dysport. Sorry!

Special technique to make Perlane last 3 years?
I have been doing dermal filler injections for many years and I am unaware of any "special" techniques that will make Perlane last 2 or more years in the nasolabial folds, and there is no way that Dysport (or Botox) will last more than a few months. If you had used a doctor closer to home you could follow-up with him or her when the results don't last as long as promised.
