As you age, your skin becomes loose and develops wrinkles. These are just some of the signs of aging. While you may not be able to avoid these things, you can treat them. If you have been searching for a lip enhancement that offers effective results, you have likely considered surgery. However, surgery requires an extended recovery period and can be pricey. Thankfully, there are alternative options available on the market.
At Premiere Aesthetics, we offer a range of dermal fillers for lips. Schedule a consultation with us to find out more about the right dermal filler for your lips. Give us a call or visit us in Fort Myers, FL.
What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers (dermal fillers) are non-surgical injectables that enhance the shape and fullness of your lips. These fillers can restore volume to your lips and give them a smooth plumped-up appearance. Dermal fillers are so effective because they utilize chemicals found in your body. These fillers don’t only add volume to your lips and tighten the skin around them, but also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Dermal Fillers are becoming more popular because of the benefits they offer.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The results that you achieve with dermal fillers will vary. On average, you can expect results to last between 9-18 months. With most lip fillers, results appear a few days after your treatment. This is because the filler has to settle into the sub-dermal layers of your skin. While you may experience slight initial results, final results can be seen 2-4 weeks after treatment. In some cases, volume restoration is immediately noticeable in lips. This is because hyaluronic acid, the active ingredient in most fillers, attracts moisture to your skin cells.
Types of Lip Fillers
There are many types of dermal fillers available. Each filler is designed to address certain aspects of your skin concerns. The severity of your skin concerns and your desired goals will determine the type of lip filler you need.
Dermal fillers are injected under your skin to add volume and reduce fine lines. These fillers are quick to administer and offer results that can be seen immediately. The results are also long-lasting and natural-looking. During your initial consultation, we will explain the benefits of each dermal fill and help you make an informed decision. Here is a list of lip fillers we offer.
Juvéderm
Juvéderm is a collection of dermal fillers. They can effectively reduce the signs of aging. Juvéderm uses Vycross technology to group molecules together to make different gel densities. The active ingredient in Juvéderm is hyaluronic acid. This chemical occurs naturally in your body. This makes the filler a low-risk treatment option. Another advantage of this filler is that it won’t leave you without expression. Here are the fillers that can address skin concerns on your lips:
Juvéderm Volbella
As you age, you may lose volume in your lips. Juvéderm Volbella is a thin gel that can restore lost volume to your lips and provide a more defined lip line. The results are subtle and natural-looking while lasting up to one year.
Juvéderm Vollure
Juvéderm Vollure is much firmer than some of the other fillers in the collection. This dermal filler is used to treat skin concerns around your mouth, giving your lips an overall rejuvenated appearance.
Juvéderm Ultra XC
Juvéderm Ultra XC is used to enhance the appearance of your lips. It treats marionette lines. These are the lines that run from your mouth to your chin. It gives your lips and the area around them a more energized, youthful appearance. The results you achieve with this filler can be enjoyed for more than a year before needing follow-up treatment.
Revanesse Versa
Revanesse Versa is an FDA-approved dermal filler. It also uses hyaluronic acid as an active ingredient. Revanesse is unique because it uses wet milling technology. It also uses spherical and uniformed hyaluronic acid particles to achieve results. Because of this combination, the results are more uniform and natural-looking.
Restylane
Restylane is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that can target skin concerns in the lower region of your face. The shape of Restylane molecules is different from other lip fillers. The texture of the gel is also more granular. This makes it great at adding volume to your lips and the surrounding areas. There are a few skin concerns that can be treated with Restylane in the lower region of your face, including the following:
Marionette lines – These lines appear at the corners of your mouth.
Nasolabial furrows – These are deep smile lines that run from the corners of your mouth to the sides of your nose.
Lip Borders – Restylane can restore the definition to the borders of your lips.
If you have lost volume in your lips over time due to age, Restylane can help you. This filler stimulates the production of collagen and other essential tissue, resulting in fuller, healthier lips. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane attracts water to your skin, adding even more volume to your lips.
