  • What is it and what does it do?

    Perlane is used to improve the look of sun-damaged skin that has wrinkling and fines lines, including severe wrinkling and folds.Ā It may also be used to plump up the size of lips. It is injected into the skin and instantly smoothes out these depressed areas, leaving a smoothing appearance on the skin. It is made up of hyaluronic acid in the form of a crystal clear gel.Ā Perlane is not animal-based and is free from animal proteins. Manufactured and marketed by Medicis Aesthetics, makers of RestylaneĀ®, often Perlane is used in conjunction with Restylane.

    Perlane Treatment

    Perlane is injecting via a needle into the skin. Numbing agents may be applied to your skin prior to the treatment to minimize any pain. Allergy testing prior to treatment is not necessary with Perlane. Following the injection, some swelling and redness may occur as well as some associated pain. This typically does not last longer than a week. Should any side effects last longer, call your doctor. If you have herpes, the injections may trigger a flare up, so talk to your doctor. Another rare side effect is the occurrence of red bumps around the injection site. Also if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on blood thinners, you shouldn't have Perlane injected.

    How long doesĀ Perlane last?

    The exact amount of time any injectable filler will last is unique to every patient, however an approximate estimate is about 6 months.

    Perlane Cost

    To have an accurate estimate on the cost of a Perlane, you must visit with a physician. They will evaluate your treatment objectives and give you a precise idea of cost. Price ranges significantly and may be between $300 to $700 per syringe depending on how much volume is needed for treatment.
