Lip Filler - Anti aging Treatment For Lips

Lip Filler – Facial Rejuvenation

A lip filler is used to enhance one’ appearance.This quite popular cosmetic procedure is used to shape, sculpt and plump up thin lips.

Lip enhancement surgery will give the lips a well-defined younger, healthier appearance.

Due to the wide variety of methods, materials and injection techniques for cosmetic lip augmentation, there are plenty of options that can meet your individual needs.

The sensuous look of attractive lips has always made an impression. My Fav “Blonde” Marilyn and today’ Angelina Jolie will always be remembered.

As we age lips naturally become thinner, droop, and lose their color. Lost volume is due part to loss of elastin and collagen.

Hyaluronic acid levels reduce in our body as we age. This natural occurring nutrient helps provide joint, skin and connective tissue support. Many popular fillers are hyaluronic-acid based.

Temporary and permanent solutions are available to enhance the look of the lips, correct a lip imperfection or to restore the lips, aging takes away.

Facial fillers are very popular because they produce immediate anti aging results.

Treatments can be performed in a very short amount of time depending on the extent of correction.

Soft tissue fillers are injected into the lips using a ultra-fine needle with minimal, if any, bruising, discomfort or swelling afterward.

A topical anesthetic can be applied prior to lip injection in order to eliminate discomfort.

Several Product Varieties Are Available

*Bovine derived (Zyplast,Zyderm)

Bovine-derived collagen is extracted from the tissue of cows. A skin test for allergic reactions is required prior to a collagen lips treatment.

*Human-derived collagen-(Cosmoderm, cosmoplast)

Human-derived collagen is from donated human tissues.

A pre-treatment allergy test is not required for a human-derived collagen filler.

Since collagen is absorbed by the body rather quickly, frequent treatments are necessary to maintain the desired effect. Results generally last between one and four months.

Hyaluronic acid is a clear, biodegradable substance that already exists naturally in the body. Lip plumpers made from hyaluronic acid provide longer-lasting results than collagen. A pre-treatment allergy test is not necessary.

Some hyaluronic acid-based filler brands used are Perlane, Juvederm, or Restylane lip filler.

Treatment Benefits

Injectable fillers restore the plump, sensuous look that is lost with age. Thinner lips are one of the most noticeable signs of aging. Improvement to this area can significantly help rejuvenate the face. Fuller lips can also add a more appealing balance to a person’s facial features.

Lip enhancement treatments can help reduce or get rid of those ageing vertical “smoker’s lines” around the mouth and help to raise and define the lip line.

Other Considerations

Other options for lip enhancement include pricy fat transfer procedures and more permanent products such as Artefill, lip implants, surgical lip lift procedures and new saline VeraFil implants.

Men or women who are considering permanent solutions are advised to try injectable semi-permanent fillers first to see if implants would provide the desired cosmetic result you’re looking for.

Select your medical professional carefully- Kissable lips are in, botched “trout pouts” or 'duck bills' are not!
