The lips are a central feature of the face, essential for expression and contributing to overall facial balance. At Westover Hills Dermatology in San Antonio, TX, we love enhancing this natural beauty through treatments like lip fillers that are designed to complement your unique facial features.
Lip fillers offer a subtle yet effective way to add volume and shape to your lips. With each treatment, we consider the personal goals you have for your appearance and then choose a product and techniques that can help make these aims a reality. Lip fillers can be a long-lasting solution for thin lips, asymmetrical lips, and more.
Lip fillers are injectable treatments that give the lips a fuller appearance. They are composed of substances that are compatible with the body and are primarily designed to mimic the lips’ natural fullness while maintaining a balanced look. This method is favored for its non-invasive nature, providing noticeable results without surgery.
Hyaluronic acid lip fillers work by filling the area while also attracting and retaining water molecules within the lip tissue, effectively increasing volume and hydration. This key ingredient can be naturally found in the skin, eyes, and joints, so it is a biocompatible choice. The precise injection technique allows for customized results so that the lips can gain a natural-looking enhancement that fits the individual’s facial structure.
Designed to enhance lip volume and smooth out wrinkles around the mouth, JUVÉDERM is a well-known brand of dermal and lip fillers made from hyaluronic acid. Its formulation is specifically created with a very smooth consistency and technology that allows it to move naturally once in the skin, which is what creates the results this product is known for. JUVÉDERM products also have long-lasting effects, providing subtle enhancement that can last up to a year.
VOLBELLA® XC is a JUVÉDERM product that is designed for lip augmentation and for correcting perioral lines for a refined and subtle enhancement. Its formulation includes a lower concentration of hyaluronic acid, which helps it produce a smooth outcome with less swelling.
ULTRA XC is another option in the JUVÉDERM family, made for those seeking more pronounced lip filler results. It is formulated to augment while also minimizing the appearance of lines around the mouth.
The RHA Collection is a line of resilient hyaluronic acid fillers, uniquely designed to adapt to facial dynamics and movement. It stands out for its ability to mimic the natural hyaluronic acid found in the skin, offering enhancements that look and feel authentic even with facial expressions. This collection is made for dynamic areas of the face, providing durability and flexibility that maintain the aesthetics of the lips through a wide range of movements.
RHA Redensity is a lip filler treatment within the RHA Collection, engineered for delicate lip skin. It offers a balanced approach to lip enhancement, focusing on restoring lip density while smoothing fine lines without over-volumizing.
The lifespan of lip fillers varies by type. JUVÉDERM’s VOLBELLA XC and ULTRA XC both provide enhancements lasting up to a year. The RHA Collection’s RHA Redensity can last up to 15 months, adapting seamlessly to facial movements. These variations offer individuals options for sustained lip fullness with minimal maintenance.
Adhering to the post-treatment guidelines we provide can impact the longevity of your lip fillers. These instructions are designed to minimize swelling and optimize healing so that your results look great from the start and last as long as possible.
Staying hydrated is beneficial for hyaluronic acid lip fillers since this can help to maintain the filler’s volume and smoothness. Drinking plenty of water supports this process, contributing to the durability of your results.
Incorporating gentle and hydrating skincare products into your routine can extend the life of lip injections. Look for items that nourish and protect the lips, avoiding those that could cause irritation or dehydration.
A balanced diet and regular exercise can enhance the longevity of your lip filler treatment. Healthy habits support overall skin health, which in turn can help maintain the aesthetic results of your fillers.
Sun protection helps preserve the filler material and maintain the lips’ youthful appearance. Using lip products with SPF is vital for protecting lip fillers from sun damage, which can degrade hyaluronic acid faster.
For sustained lip augmentation, scheduling touch-up appointments before your fillers fully dissipate can help you maintain consistent volume and shape. This proactive approach allows for adjustments that keep your lips looking their best.
Selecting an experienced injector and the appropriate lip injections is important for achieving long-lasting, natural-looking results. We have extensive experience with injectables, and all of your treatments are overseen by a medical professional, meaning that your results with our lip filler treatments can be better and last even longer.
