Plump Lips - FAQ
Add another item to the "life's not fair" list: We work so hard at taking fat off of our bodies, yet the fat in our faces is key to a firm, youthful look. Thankfully, the new breed of wrinkle fillers is extremely effective at leveling the playing field.
Used to plump out smile lines, lips and moderate-to-deep skin creases, these gel-based products restore fullness to areas where collagen has been depleted. Unlike the standard tight, unnatural look of facelifts, this age-defying treatment is customized for each individual to add volume specifically where its needed, recreating the ample smoothness of youth.
Based on the same hyaluronic acid found in our bodies, Dermal Fillers like Restylane¨ and Radiesse¨ have been shown to last longer than fat and collagen injections by using the body's own moisture to maintain their shape. These fillers can be used to shape facial contours, smooth wrinkles or sculpt lips. The result is a longer-lasting, more youthful and fuller appearance.
How it works:
Fillers plump up the face from underneath the skin, actually filling in the hollows and folds.
For wrinkles, Filler injections produce natural volume under the crease, lifting and smoothing it out. For facial contours, Fillers corrects deep folds and lifts up the skin from cheeks and chin. This provides a fuller shape for the chin or a rounder, more sensual line along the cheeks.
When using Fillers for lip augmentation, the gel is injected into the inside of the upper or lower lip. It is also injected along the lip line. Not only does this produce a fuller, more youthful look, it can also help prevent lipstick from bleeding into the small lines around the lips.
