perlane

Perlane is a hyaluronic acid with the same structure as Restylane with gel particles which are larger and in a higher concentration than Restylane making it more applicable to deep lines and folds and facial contouring. Perlane is used in deeper folds, for chin and cheek augmentation and to bolster sagging mouth corners.

Perlane has been used outside the United States for years and received FDA approval in 2007. Perlane's ability to provide long lasting deep facial fold correction is well established.
