Enhance your lips naturally, painlessly, and non-surgically with injectable treatments
Perhaps you have disliked the volume and appearance of your lips for as long as you can remember, or maybe over time, this central feature of your face has thinned. Your “pout” no longer looks as full. Lines or wrinkles may start to form and also detract from the appearance of your pucker. Dermal fillers present a nonsurgical and predictable way to improve the appearance of thin, lined, and poorly defined lips. Enhancements at Thrive Med Spa and Wellness in Honolulu, Hawaii, also look natural (no “duck lips” here!) when in the hands of our competent, board-certified physician, Dr. Scott Sanderson.
The problem: A deflated pout
Like other parts of your face, your lips are vulnerable to the effects of the natural aging process and environmental or UV damage. As structural components like collagen and elastin are eroded with time, the delicate skin in this area may thin. Additionally, your lips may no longer appear as well-defined as they did in the past and in young, highly elastic, firm skin.
The solution: Fillers
Dermal fillers are transforming how practices like ours correct the signs of aging and damage and “reset the clock” on the process. These injectable formulations are carefully selected to address your specific needs and characteristics. They present a minimally-invasive, low- to no-downtime alternative to surgical interventions that are associated with additional risks and demands on your body (and time) for healing and recovery.
Our practice uses an array of dermal fillers to do everything from replenishing lost collagen for skin tightening to augmenting areas that have sustained volume loss – such as the cheeks and the lips. Dr. Sanderson’s many options for fillers include the Juvéderm® and Restylane® family of fillers, as well as “collagen stimulators” like Radiesse®, Bellafill®, and Sculptra®. Certain fillers are only indicated for specific areas of the face, and each product is associated with different considerations and potentially varied benefits and drawbacks, depending on your unique situation.
Lip-boosting fillers
Both Juvéderm® and Restylane® Kysse are indicated for use on the lips and lip region. So, they may also be appropriate to address the smoker’s lines and wrinkles that form due to repeated movements and expressions over time. These lines can also take away from an otherwise lovely-shaped and defined pout. Additionally, these fillers are formulated with hyaluronic acid. HA is a popular filler ingredient because the molecule is present in our skin naturally. It provides moisture and, once applied to the lips and perioral region, HA binds with the water in the skin to plump up tissue and soften wrinkles.
As nonsurgical alternatives, fillers produce natural results, are well tolerated, and do not interfere with your busy schedule and active life. You won’t look like you’ve “had work done.” Injections can be completed in just minutes. And, due to Dr. Sanderson’s qualifications, we are able to administer the strongest numbing topical as needed for utmost comfort. Your lips will be completely numbed before treatment begins.
