As a person ages, their skin’s collagen protein production rate slows down. Collagen also breaks down as a result of frequent sun exposure. This decreases the volume of the lips, resulting in lips that are thin and poorly defined.
Smoking is another factor that affect the lips’ appearance. Smoking reduces the amount of oxygen delivered to the tissues, reducing tissue regeneration.
Lip enhancement treatments offer a way to restore or augment thin or dehydrated lips. At Refresh Palm Beach Medical Aesthetics, we use hyaluronic acid (HA) injectables to add small amounts of volume to key areas of the lips, improving shape, definition, and volume.
These soft-tissue dermal fillers are composed of synthetic hyaluronic acid, a biocompatible substance that bonds with water molecules for enhanced volume. After lip filler injections, results can be seen immediately. Results usually last anywhere from six months to a full year.
Patients who want a proven method of augmenting the lips are good candidates for a lip enhancement treatment. This is an especially ideal option for patients who want to avoid a surgical procedure like lip implants or a lip lift.
Keeping expectations realistic is recommended. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not ideal candidates for injectable lip enhancement. Patients with active skin infections must treat these before coming in for their consultation.
When patients come in for their scheduled consultation for lip enhancement, their lips will be examined. Patients will be asked questions regarding their medical history, including whether they are currently taking any medications and whether they have any allergies.
During their visit, patients are encouraged to ask questions about our available treatment options. If there are any concerns, they are encouraged to bring them up.
Patients can leave our office as soon as their treatment session is complete, and there are no significant downtimes or lengthy recovery periods involved with lip enhancement treatments.
For a day after the session, patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities like heavy exercise. Avoid putting pressure on the lips, and do not apply makeup for one to two days.
