Perlane
What is Perlane?
Perlane is new from the makers of Restylane and was just recently approved by the FDA.
Like Restylane, Perlane is made from non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) gel.
Since hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin and other tissue, there is no
need for a skin test when using either filler. The synthetic hyaluronic acid supplements the
body’s natural supply, which becomes depleted with age.
What should I do prior to a Irvine Laser Center Perlane treatment?
Like Restylane, Perlane requires no pretesting, but patients should take a few precautions
before being treated. Patients should avoid using vitamin E supplements, aspirin, or any
similar anti-inflammatory medication prior to their Perlane or Irvine Laser Center Restylane treatment,
because these may increase bruising and bleeding at the injection site.
How often should I have Irvine Laser Center Perlane treatments done?
Hyaluronic acid is biodegradable, so its effects are not permanent. The results of our
Irvine Laser Center Perlane filler treatment typically last 6-12 months.
How is Perlane different from Restylane?
The difference between Restylane and Perlane is that the molecule in Perlane is about 4x larger, so it takes the body
longer to break the product down. Perlane is also placed deeper in the dermis and has the ability to fill in folds with less
material. Restylane typically lasts 6-8 months, whereas Perlane filler treatment typically last 6-12 months.
Have you tried Perlane-L Yet?
Enhanced with lidocaine for patient comfort, Perlane-L typically produces a numbing effect within seconds for most patients.
Most who try it prefer this version hands down over the regular version. For many, no further numbing is required, which also
saves time compared with external numbing cream, which can take a while to take effect.
