As you age, a number of factors can affect the appearance of your lips, from sun damage to smoking, loss of collagen to loss of fat. You may look in the mirror and see signs of aging in your lips like:
- Thin lips
- Flat lips
- Fine vertical lines above and below the lips
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your lips and want younger-looking lips, you have nonsurgical options that can brighten your smile.
What Dermal Fillers Do
Dermal Fillers like Juvederm and Restylane use hyaluronic acid to plump up lips, helping them appear rounder and fuller. Hyaluronic acid occurs in the body naturally and can be safely reabsorbed by your body over time.
Because they add volume to your lips, Dermal fillers correct both thin and flat lips. They may or may not help reduce the appearance of fine lines, which can benefit from other medical spa treatments.
A dermal filler appointment takes less than an hour. The fillers are pain-free, though they may cause mild discomfort briefly. Your aesthetician can use a topical numbing cream to help you stay comfortable.
What Results Should I Expect From Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers provide instant results. Before you even leave the office, you’ll be able to see your new lips. However, you might have mild swelling for a few days after receiving fillers, so always give your results a few days to settle before deciding what you think.
Dermal fillers can last for up to a year, though you can schedule maintenance appointments to keep them looking full continuously.
If you don’t like your dermal filler results, you can receive a second injection to dissolve the hyaluronic acid and return your lips to how they were before. This is a unique benefit that many other cosmetic treatments don’t have.
