Is there any difference between Voluma vs perlane!

Question

Is there any difference between the volume occupied by the two fillers or if they only differ by the time they last!!

Lorrie Klein, MD · Answer

Voluma lasts up to 2 years, Perlane up to 1 year.  Also, Voluma lifts more than Perlane, due to the way the molecules are cross linked, which makes for a better cheek filler, in my opinion.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

They are very different, last different amounts of time all because of the cross-linking technology.  However, they both have lifting capacity, so they theoretically could be used for similar functions but perlane may not last as long in some people.  I suggest trusting your cosmetic dermatologist with the products they recommend for your given goals.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

Longevity (Voluma 2 years vs Perlane 1 year or less) and the lifting capability especially in the mid face makes voluma my preferred filler for the cheeks and mid face.

Val Lambros, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

they are versions of the same filler and work by absorbing water. Voluma lasts some  longer, but also maintains its projection more than perlane does. I like it for cheeks. In other parts of the face the difference is not so great.
