Most women desire luscious, pouty lips. However, getting older leads to the development of thinning lips that are more prone to forming lines on and around them. Lip fillers offer a convenient solution for this situation and do not require any hospitalization or downtime.
Minimally-invasive treatments like lip fillers offer the advantage of quick treatments with no extensive downtime. Since no incisions are involved, less skin tissue is damaged, and your healing time will be far shorter. In fact, many women choose to have their filler treatments performed over lunch time and can return to work or daily activities immediately after their procedure.
Role of Hyaluronic Acid
Along with collagen, hyaluronic acid is an important skin component that helps maintain smooth, youthful skin. Unfortunately, the aging process leads to a situation where hyaluronic acid begins breaking down more quickly than it can be replaced. The result is lips that begin to grow thinner and develop characteristic lines on their surface. Eventually, this develops into thin, dry, lifeless lips that have lost their lusciousness.
Many lip fillers work by enhancing the volume of lips by rectifying age-related hyaluronic deficiency. This helps reverse the process that led to the development of thinning lips in the first place. Your lips will begin drawing moisture in great amounts to help volumize them and restore their plumpness.
Juvederm® and Restylane®
Juvederm® is a popular choice for restoring lip volume. The procedure is quite smooth and predictable, offering flattering results for every patient. Once injected into your lips, the hyaluronic acid gel begins to attract moisture into them, leading to a fuller appearance and a reduction in lines and wrinkles.
Restylane® is another type of hyaluronic acid filler that involves the injection of a gel to add structure and definition to your lips. This is particularly important for anyone lacking definition in their lips, so that they appear more full and luxurious.
Revanesse® Versa™
This is a new hyaluronic acid filler that has just been approved by the FDA. The particles within the Versa™ filler are spherical, which means they provide excellent smoothness while they plump up your lips. This filler has also been proven to cause less swelling than other lip fillers, meaning your downtime is greatly reduced.
