The lips are a sensitive area of the body, prone to showing signs of early aging. Because full lips are a feature of a youthful face, lip enhancement has become a very popular treatment option. One of the reasons Juvederm is recommended for plumping and defining lips is that it is hydrophilic, meaning it attracts water that can increase its plumping action. There are several reasons why people opt for lip injections.
Older women want to have a more youthful appearance, while younger women in their twenties and thirties are simply attracted to the idea of having more sensual and full lips. A popular trend today for lips is the Cupid's bow, which tilts the center of the upper lip in a cheerful position. Vertical lines above the mouth begin to appear due to age and sometimes habits such as smoking or overuse of straws, both activities that force the lips to pucker, can cause lines to form. While you may notice some residual improvement as a result of lip volume, it is often necessary to fill in the wrinkles themselves.
Cracks on both sides of the lips can also be smoothed out with injections. Not all people use fillers for anti-aging or to get bigger lips. There are men and women with naturally uneven mouths who see great results with the addition of Juvederm to balance their smile. These are the lines that go from both sides of the mouth to the chin, giving a look similar to puppet strings threaded to allow the mouth to open and close. Puppet lines are formed as a result of aging and begin to appear as early as the 1930s.
We strategically place the filling inside the folds of the puppet lines, expanding the crack and smoothing the appearance of the lower part of the face. Often confused with puppet lines, nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines, range from the nose to the sides of the mouth. These wrinkles can appear as a result of a smile (dynamic wrinkles) and remain when the face is at rest. A dermal filler can minimize the appearance of these lines. A popular product, Restylane has been used for more than a decade to successfully treat fine lines and wrinkles and as an effective filler to reduce the appearance of acne scars.
A hyaluronic acid-based formula, Restylane is mainly used on nasolabial folds, puppet lines and lips. Resylane-L is a form of Restylane mixed with lidocaine, a local anesthetic, for maximum patient comfort. Both Botox and Dysport are mainly used in the glabella lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines and crow's feet. They can also be very effective in raising eyebrows and repositioning lips. If used correctly, Botox and Dysport will leave you looking natural with all your expressions intact instead of freezing and stereotypical expressionless, as can happen when these products are overused or improperly injected. Like other dermal fillers, Juvederm is injected into the skin of the face, jawline, and neck.
Our talented doctor uses a fine needle to increase volume under the skin, resulting in the removal of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. Thanks to a combination of lidocaine in the product formula and a topical anesthetic agent, the injection process is virtually painless for most patients. Juvederm Ultra XC and Juvederm Ultra Plus XC provide fullness to thin lips, both upper and lower, and give people that coveted pout. Dermal filler injections are commonly used as a non-surgical option to reshape areas such as the chin, jawline, or nose. This can improve a patient's lateral profile & reduce the appearance of a sagging neck.
Thanks to this, fillers have eliminated the need for surgical procedures to address these common complaints. Practically anyone can benefit from dermal filler injections, but they are most popular with men and women who want a non-surgical solution to restore a more youthful appearance. If you have started to notice a loss of facial volume, deep lines and wrinkles, or deflated features, you may be a candidate for JuvíDerm injections.
