Lip Rejuvenation
Benefits/How It Works
Benefits:
With time, the lips tend to lose volume, which can lead to a lack of definition of the lip borders as well as bleeding of lipstick into lines around the lips. Revitalization of the lip can help improve a person's self-esteem and confidence. Procedures for lip rejuvenation and enhancement have rapidly improved and advanced in the past few years, making several options available.

We will evaluate what you don't like about your lips and provide you with a personalized treatment.
Dermal fillers replenish volume and restore definition. Downturned corners of the mouth can be brought up, creating a more youthful and happier appearance. Fine lines radiating from the lips can also be softened, and may also be addressed by laser rejuvenation. BOTOX® is often used to help further raise the corners of the mouth and soften the degree of pursing that contributes to lines.
A "gummy smile" or excessive visibility of the gums can be improved and asymmetries can be addressed for greater harmony and natural balance. Topical anesthetic is normally used to maximize patient comfort and most of the dermal fillers have a small amount of anesthetic incorporated in them for greater comfort.
Treatment takes about 20 to 30 minutes depending on which type of treatment is being used. After the procedure, some swelling and possible bruising may occur. Lips can look good right away or may take a week or two to feel more natural.
