My patients are particularly drawn to enhancing their lips because it’s a quick way for them to rejuvenate their whole face.
Fuller, more youthful lips help them better express their personal style through shapes and shades of lipstick or gloss.
Did you know your lips have some of the thinnest skin on your entire body and because of that they age quicker? They contain minimal melanin and fat, which makes them especially vulnerable to sun damage, dehydration, and the natural loss of collagen and elasticity over time.
Common causes of dry, shrinking lips include sun exposure, smoking, repetitive movements like pursing or puckering, and the general decline in skin elasticity as you age. These factors lead to thinner, less defined, and more wrinkled lips.
My patients say they look and feel older than they are because of this. It’s a major factor in how they view their face in the mirror and you might be there now too.
When it comes to maintaining and enhancing your lips, here are some dos and don’ts:
Do keep them hydrated with lip balms containing SPF, moisturize them regularly, and exfoliate gently to remove dead skin.
Don’t smoke, as it significantly accelerates lip aging, avoid licking your lips which dries them out, and steer clear of harsh chemicals or over-exfoliation.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are our most popular option if you want to add volume and definition without downtime. In a short session, you get immediate results with no downtime and the results can last several months.
We tailor each filler treatment based on the contours of your face and goals to give you the most natural results.
