Restylane® and Perlane®, the newest addition to the Restylane® family of products are injected in similarly to Collagen but do not require a prior skin test to look for allergic reaction. Since the results are immediate, downtime consists of as little as a few hours.
Both Restylane® and Perlane® contain Hyaluronic Acid, an injectable agent well suited to enhance lips, correct wrinkles or otherwise augment soft tissue. In the case of of Restylane® and Perlane®, the hyaluronic acid is created in a laboratory, but it can also be derived from animal sources (rooster comb).The primary difference between Perlane® and Restylane® is that Perlane® filler contains a larger concentration of hyaluronic acid. Because of this, Perlane® is generally used for larger folds, while Restylane® injections are better suited for smaller wrinkles or to maintain previous Perlane® injection results.
