Perlane L injectable filler Maehara Eye Surgery & Laser Honolulu HIPerlaneis an injectable filler used to soften wrinkles and reduce the appearance of lines and folds for patients unhappy with the effects of aging on their skin. Perlane®-L can be used for lines around the lips, mouth, nose and forehead, and is especially effective for the nasolabial folds, which stretch from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Perlane®-L is made of hyaluronic acid, as is Restylane®, but contains larger gel particles that can more effectively fill deep depressions on the skin.

Perlane®-L injections typically take 30 to 45 minutes to perform, with no need for anesthetic and little to no pain. Patients can return to regular activities immediately after injections, with no downtime. Results are visible right away and can last for six to eight months, depending on the individual patient’s age, skin condition, and various other factors. Touch-up injections once or twice a year are recommended to maintain results.

Perlane®-L is a safe procedure, but there are risks associated with any procedure. Some patients may experience swelling, redness, bruising and discomfort after treatment, but these side effects usually subside within a few days. Although rare, Perlane®-L carries a risk of infection, bleeding or allergic reaction. Choosing a qualified physician for your Perlane®-L treatment can greatly minimize the occurrence of complications.
