Perlane vs Juvederm Ultra Plus in Tampa and St. Petersburg

Posted on by

Dr. Anne Hermann’s patients often ask which is the better dermal filler for them, Perlane vs. Juvederm Ultra Plus.  Juvederm Ultra Plus and Perlane are dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid and are FDA approved. Hyaluronic acid is a natural element found in the body, and like collagen, diminishes with age. Both products will instantly add volume to the problem areas and smooth wrinkles and folds.

What are the key differences between Perlane vs Juvederm Ultra Plus?

Chemically, they are very similar, but structurally, there are differences.  Fillers are categorized by their g prime, meaning the level that the product holds its shape. Perlane is a higher g prime filler, the filler with larger particles, which makes it the better choice for the areas of the face needing the most lift.  Juvederm Ultra Plus has a lower g prime and is manufactured as a smooth gel.  Both products are an excellent choice for the nasolabial folds and for deep lines.  Perlane provides slightly more product per syringe, so often the best choice is based on price point or if there is a current special on Perlane vs. Juvederm Ultra Plus.

Juvederm Ultra vs Juvederm Ultra Plus in Tampa and St. Petersburg

Anne Hermann, M.D.

Juvederm and Juvederm Ultra Plus are dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid and are FDA approved to correct nasolabial folds.  They are often used under the eyes, around the mouth and jaw line and in the cheeks.

What are the differences between Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus?

Both products are gel fillers but the differences between the two products are based on their consistency.  Juvederm Ultra is a thinner product with a smaller molecule which makes it a better choice for fine lines, under the eyes and for the lips. Juvederm Ultra can also be used for the anti-aging of the hands and ear lobes.  Juvederm Ultra Plus is a thicker, more volumizing formula which makes it ideal for more severe wrinkles, deeper nasolabial folds and for more advanced facial volume loss.

Both products are offered with lidocaine to minimize the discomfort of the injection.
