Contrary to popular belief, not every lip injection is done with the goal of creating lips that the Kardashians would be jealous of. Lip fillers can serve many purposes beyond the stereotype, such as restoring symmetry, filling etched-in lines, and enhancing your natural pout. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers, for example, are popular for their ability to add volume and shape without overwhelming the lips.
Before undergoing any treatment for your lips, it's important to discuss your goals with an experienced medical provider, as there’s a chance filler might not even be the best pathway to the result you’re looking for. Let’s take a closer look at some of the outcomes you might want for your lips, and how to get there with our treatments:
If you want to smooth etched-in lines while enhancing your lips: Belotero Balance®
Designed to blend into the structure of your skin for a more natural look, Belotero Balance® is highly effective for smoothing and filling creases and wrinkles in delicate areas, like the lips, for up to six months.
If you want the most natural look: RHA®-2
The RHA® Collection is the first and only FDA-approved collection of hyaluronic acid fillers for dynamic facial wrinkles and folds, which appear in areas of the face that move repetitively. Designed to be resilient enough to adapt to your facial movement, RHA® offers three variations – RHA2, RHA3, and RHA4 – that provide more stretch to less, depending on the patients’ needs. We recommend RHA-2 to add subtle volume and enhance the contour of your lips. These types of fillers last approximately 9-15 months. RHA Redensity, another member of the RHA Collection, is also a great option for enhancing your lips. Designed to last up to 12 months with optimal treatment, RHA Redensity is proven effective in smoothing the vertical lines that form around the lips.
If you want to hydrate and add moisture to your lips: SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM®
Unlike fillers that restore volume, SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® hydrates the skin, creating a luminous complexion and leaving you looking well-rested, glowing, and rejuvenated. Microdroplets of hyaluronic acid are injected just beneath the skin, thereby addressing changes in skin texture, the loss of luminosity, and, ultimately, rejuvenating the skin from within. When applied to the lips, SKINVIVE™ provides added moisture, smoothing out your pout and lessening the appearance of visible signs of aging, while also adding a subtle plump.
If you want the juiciest pout possible: JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC
Designed to last for up to a year with optimal treatment, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC is the “juiciest” lip filler we offer. This filler works to add volume and fullness to the lips - and with less pain too. By preloading the injection with lidocaine, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC actually reduces your sensitivity to pain, enhancing comfort during the injection.
If you want a fuller pout without filler: Botox®
In addition to targeting those pesky forehead lines and crow’s feet, Botox® can also be used to achieve a fuller looking lip. This process is known as a “lip flip” and involves injecting Botox® above the upper lip.
Lip filler doesn’t have to be dramatic. When injected correctly, lip filler results can be quite subtle, leaving you with a more youthful-looking pout. At Timeless, we realize that achieving the perfect pout goes beyond mere volume and must also focus on balance, symmetry, and the natural beauty of your unique features.
