Which Lip Filler Is Right For You?

Lip Filler Basics

When it comes to enhancing your lips, nothing is better than a hyaluronic acid based dermal filler. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occuring sugar in the skin and it works by drawing water into cells. This results in plumper, more youthful appearing lips.


What Lip Fillers Can Do:

Hydrate
As we age, our lips tend to lose their natural hydration, leaving them feeling dry and looking wrinkled. Lip fillers work to draw in more water to give your lips a more youthful and supple appearance.


Plump
Lip filler can make your lips go from looking like a raisin to more like a grape. 


Color
Aging often causes lips to lose their pinkish hue. Lip fillers can help to bring back that rosy tint.


Correct Asymmetries
Lip filler is an excellent tool for achieving balanced, symmetrical lips.

Which Lip Filler Is Right For You


Now that we know some of the benefits, let’s explore the specific hyaluronic acid based lip fillers that I use and recommend to my clients:

Juvederm Ultra XC

Who should get this:
If you desire a significant enhancement and want your lips to appear plump and robust, this is the one for you. 

How long does it last:
This lip filler typically lasts 6-12 months. 

Restylane Kysse

Who should get this:
This lip filler is perfect for someone who wants a subtle enhancement. 

How long does it last:
This lip filler lasts 6-12 months.

Juvederm Volbella XC

Who should get this:
Juvederm Volbella XC is unique in that it comes in a half syringe, offering a more gradual increase in lip size and fullness. It’s an excellent choice for individuals with thinner lips who want a minimal enhancement. 

How long does it last:
This lip filler lasts 6-12 months.


In Conclusion


All three of the above are fantastic and have their own unique advantages, making the choice individualized. During your appointment, we will discuss your options and decide together which filler aligns best with your goals, preferences, and unique anatomy.

Rejuvenate Your Under Eye Area With PRP

The Solution

The under eye area is one of the first places to show signs of aging and wear and tear, and is also one of the most difficult places to treat. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) offers a safe and effective solution for rejuvenating the under eye area - and it’s completely natural.


Benefits of PRP

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrated sample of your own blood, packed with growth factors and essential proteins that boost collagen and elastin production and are directly involved with tissue healing and regeneration. It’s a completely natural treatment, virtually eliminating the risk of complication or adverse reaction.

Why PRP Is Great for the Under Eye Area

The effects of PRP smooth, hydrate, and plump aging skin, naturally leading to:
  • Decreased hollows
  • ​Decreased discoloration and dark circles
  • Reduced fine lines and crepey skin

The PRP Treatment Process 

1. A small sample of your blood is drawn
2. The sample is spun in a centrifuge for 10 minutes, separating the platelets from the rest of the blood
3. The concentrated PRP is extracted and prepared for injection
4. A fine needle is used to gently and precisely deliver the PRP

What to Expect After Your Treatment

Directly after your treatment, you can expect some temporary effects:
  • Redness
  • Slight bruising
  • Swelling

These effects generally subside within a few hours up to 72 hours. While you may notice some positive results after a week, full results can take 3-6 months. For optimal results, I recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced out by 4-6 weeks. After this, PRP injections become a maintenance procedure, 1-2 times a year.
