The Best Lip Enhancement Treatment for You

In the past, lip enhancement treatments were reserved solely for individuals that wanted to increase the size of their lips.

However, these procedures are now being used to address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including thin lips, poorly defined lips, smoker’s lines, a gummy smile, and flat lips.

So, what’s the best lip enhancement treatment for you?

Here are three different ways that you can get lips you love.

Dermal Fillers for Lip Plumping and Shaping

If you want to add volume to you lips, improve their shape, or define your lip line, dermal fillers may be the best lip enhancement treatment for you.

In fact, a hyaluronic acid filler like Restylane or Juvederm is an excellent way to achieve soft, smooth, and natural results. These injectable products easily attract and hold moisture in soft tissue to provide nearly instant plumping and hydrating effects.

Results typically last four-to-10 months, and can be reversed or modified with an enzyme solution called hyaluronidase.

Laser Resurfacing for Counteracting Lip Wrinkles and Smokers Lines

Dermal fillers, such as Restylane Silk or Juvederm Volbella, also diminish fine lines and wrinkles surrounding upper and lower lips and produce smoothing after just one treatment.

Additionally, a skin resurfacing treatment, whether a laser, microneedling, chemical peel, or energy-based technology, can promote cellular renewal, stimulate collagen, and repair damaged tissue.

Most of these procedures require a series of treatments, and results occur more gradually than with dermal fillers. However, treatment benefits may be longer-lasting.

Neurotoxins for a Subtle Pout or Gummy Smile

If you are concerned about a gummy smile or seeking a subtle pout, neurotoxins may be the best lip enhancement treatment for you. When injected into lip muscles, a product like Botox or Dysport is able to relax muscles to conceal gums and boost the mid-portion of your upper lip.
