What is Perlane®?
Perlane® is a cosmetic dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid (NASHA) gel. It can be used to soften wrinkles and facial folds and is also popular for lip augmentation, facial depressions, and facial scarring. Perlane® can be used in conjunction with BOTOX® Cosmetic, which neutralizes the muscles that create wrinkles; Perlane® simply reduces the visibility of wrinkles and folds.

Perlane® vs. Restylane®
Perlane® is primarily the same product as Restylane®, but it contains a larger concentration of hyaluronic acid. Because of this higher concentration, Perlane® is used for larger folds, while Restylane® is better suited for smaller wrinkles or to maintain the results of a previous Perlane® injection.
All Dermal Filler procedures are performed by Dr. Martin Blume or Dr. Jennifer McMahon.
