Lip Enhancement
DERMAL FILLERS: DIMINISH WRINKLES, INCREASE LIP & CHEEK VOLUME
Gentle Care Laser Aesthetics offers Juvéderm®, Restylane®, Juvéderm® Voluma, and Juvederm Volbella® Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and creases, as well as to restore volume in the cheek, chin and lip areas. The most appropriate lines to treat with fillers are the static lines you can see when your face is not moving (like smile lines). The most commonly treated areas include: lips, smile lines (or nasolabial folds), mouth lines (or marionette lines), smoker lines (or vertical lip lines), cheeks or chin, and tear troughs. A single treatment can provide subtle to dramatic improvement in appearance without surgery and with little downtime. *
Over the last several years, dermal fillers have become incredibly popular due to their fast and long-lasting results. Dermal fillers supplement the body's age depleted hyaluronic acid and because hyaluronic acid occurs naturally within the body, it also dissolves naturally and requires no allergy testing prior to treatment. Whether you are restoring volume loss to create a more youthful appearance or adding volume for facial contouring you may see the improvement almost immediately.*

how does lip enhancement with dermal fillers work?
Lip Enhancement is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure which uses synthetic or biological products to safely enhance or augment the lips. The doctor may use a variety of products to achieve lip enhancement including Juvéderm, Restylane and other fillers. Doctor Khan prefers to use Juvéderm for lip enhancement because it will last longer than other similar fillers and will give a natural, predictable result. Lip augmentation is widely sought out by models, actors, and of course women of all occupations for beautiful yet natural lip enhancement. The procedure generally takes about 45 minutes after the lips are gently numbed using lidocaine. As the lips may appear a bit swollen for 3-5 days, it is best to plan ahead before a special date or event.
