Restylane
Restylane and Perlane are dermal fillers which are injected into the facial skin to correct wrinkles and depressions. They are composed of hyaluronic acid, a non-animal based, biodegradable gel, free from animal proteins.
They are essentially the same product but the gel particles are of a different size and therefore suitable for addressing different problems. Restylane is the intermediate gel particle size and is suitable for moderate wrinkles and lip enhancement. Perlane is the larger size and should be aimed at deep lines, facial contouring and lip enhancement. The effects can be seen immediately and last around six to nine months.
