I have pretty deep nasolabial folds. My injector has offered me my choice of fillers. I would prefer Perlane or Juvederm Ultra Plus, both of which he said would be good choices for me. (I don't really want to try Radiesse quite yet since that one can't be dissolved if I don't like the results). Which of those 2 fillers do most doctors think lasts longer? Does anybody have a good reason for preferring one of those over the other? I can't find any comparisons online. Thanks!
Answer: Perlane and Juvederm Ultra Plus are competitors and are... Perlane and Juvederm Ultra Plus are competitors and are designed to be an alternative to Retylane and Juvderm Ultra. They are all hyaluronic acid fillers, and so are not permanent, but both Perlane and Juvederm Ultra Plus are a bit thicker (more dense) so they last longer. In my experience, you can expect each to last anywhere from 9 to 12 months. I don't think there is a significant difference in terms of how long they last. What is more important is the technique of injection: if it is injected too deep, you will not really see much of a difference. If it is injected too shallow, then you may see some bumpiness or even some changes in the color of the overlying skin. So this is what I would recommend to you:

Answer: Laugh Lines / Nasolabial Folds - Fillers + Sculptra, Lasers like Fraxel/Clear + Brilliant, Radiofrequency, Peels, Skin Care I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting, and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Perlane VS Juvederm Ultra Plus for nasolabial folds Thank you for your question. They are both nice products with good longevity. Most times when nasolabial lines become deep it is a downstream effect from volume loss to the cheeks. The lack of support from above causes a deepening of the Nasolabial fold. Often it produces a nicer result to treat the cheek area first, providing support. That is often enough to help reduce the NLF folds, or at least decrease the amount of product needed to soften the folds. This provides a much more natural looking outcome.

Answer: Perlane VS Juvederm for nasolabial folds I prefer Juvederm for the nasolabial folds. In most cases, the cheaper Juvederm Ultra is good enough. But with certain people with heavier smile lines, I will use the Ultra PlusThe reason why I prefer Juvederm to Perlane in this area is that I have found that it attracts more water (hydrophilic) and I need to use less product. Therefore, it can be more cost effective for my patients.

Answer: Perlane vs Juvederm Ultra Plus for Nasolabial folds Both products are hyaluronic acids but both are thicker versions of the smaller sibling, Restylane vs. Juvederm Ultra, respectively. For nasolabial folds, either one is fine and if you're under the age of 45 it probabaly doesn't matter too much. Juvederm Ultra Plus will give you 9-12 months and Perlane 15-18 months but expect a touch up at 4 months to make it last the full time.
