Perlane®

Perlane is an injectable cosmetic dermal filler that has been used to soften
wrinkles and facial folds of patients across the world. It is also a popular filler for lip
augmentation, facial depressions, and facial scarring.

What is Perlane?

Perlane is made from non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) gel. This means that Perlane contains no animal products. Since hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin and other tissue, there is no need for a skin test when using Perlane filler.

The hyaluronic acid in Perlane supplements the body's natural supply, which becomes depleted with age. Perlane is biodegradable so its effects are not permanent. The results of a Perlane filler treatment tend to last six months to a year. This is much longer than the typical results of collagen injections, which may only last three to six months.

Unlike Botox® Cosmetic, Perlane does not make you numb. Perlane can be used in conjunction with Botox® Cosmetic, which neutralizes the muscles that create wrinkles, but Perlane simply reduces the visibility of wrinkles and folds.

What Areas of the Face Can Be Treated with Perlane?

The hyaluronic acid in Perlane can be used to improve the contour of facial skin and to reduce wrinkles, folds, scars, and other facial skin depressions.

Common uses for Perlane filler include:

• Wrinkle correction
• Diminishing worry lines, smile lines, crow's feet, marionette lines at corners of the mouth, and smoker's lines
• Lip enhancement
• Reducing the severity of nasolabial folds
• Chin augmentation
• Filling cheek depressions
• Redefining lip border
• Softening acne scars

Other, less common, uses for Perlane filler include:

• Filling hollows under the eyes
• Creating a temporary eyebrow lift
• Correcting facial depressions caused by fat loss
• Softening the appearance of jowls
