Perlane® is from the makers of Restylane® and part of a family of products FDA approved to add volume and fullness to the skin, smooth away facial wrinkles and folds.
Depending on your needs and goals, our doctors will help you choose the right dermal filler or combination of treatments for optimal results.
Similar to Restylane®, Perlane® adds volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds that form around the nose and corners of the mouth.
Also like Restylane®, Perlane® is a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance that already exists in the body. The hyaluronic acid in Perlane® is a crystal clear gel that is chemically cross-linked (the long chemical strands are tied together) to delay breakdown by skin enzymes. Perlane® is non-animal-based and free from animal protein. This quality prevents disease transmission. Allergy pre-testing is not necessary.
In clinical studies, an average of 70% of patients reported noticeable and maintained improvement for six months after a single Perlane® treatment.
Only your doctor can decide if Perlane® is right for you. The gel particles in Perlane® are generally larger than those in Restylane®, which makes Perlane® a good choice for patients who would benefit from deeper injections.

We recommend that you avoid use of aspirin, ibuprofen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Ginko Biloba, garlic, flax oil, cod liver oil, multivitamins, vitamin A, vitamin E, or any other blood thinning medication for at least 10 days prior to treatment and for 24 hours after treatment. This will help to prevent bruising and bleeding. Please consult your primary care physician before discontinuing use of any prescription medication. We also ask that you remove any make-up in the treatment area prior to your appointment.
You will arrive at the office approximately one hour prior to the time of your injection. A topical anesthetic agent will be applied to the skin at the site of injection to help diminish any discomfort you may experience. If you are receiving lip enhancement treatment, a Center For SmartLipo physician will also perform a dental block to provide anesthesia to the sensitive lip area. Every effort will be made to minimize your discomfort.
There are various factors that influence longevity of correction: the specific areas treated, age, amount of sun exposure (remember heat breaks Perlane® down faster), ongoing muscle movement (clients with Botox® in the same area may have a longer result) and weight loss. Dehydration should be avoided as Perlane® requires water to stay plump.
An aesthetic enhancement can be performed at any time. We recommend enhancing your treatment at five month intervals to maintain your treatment result.
You will experience minor swelling in the area that will last 2–3 days. As with any injection, there is always risk of bruising and swelling. We recommend that you complete your treatment at least one week prior to any major event in order to ensure that any potential swelling or bruising may resolve. Most patients feel comfortable returning to regular activities after treatment of all other skin regions.
