We place a lot of emphasis on our lips. We gloss, line, and paint them to enhance our appearance. Many makeup trends aim to give the appearance of fuller, bigger lips.
At SPRY Skin & Wellness, we can give you extra volume that requires far less maintenance than makeup. With our lip injections near Cedar Falls, you have more options than you realize to enhance your smile. Want to learn more? Keep reading to find the right lip injection for you.
For Added Volume: Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers do exactly what they say they do: They fill.
To improve your lips, our brands Revanesse and Restylane utilize hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our body that retains moisture. These injections improve lips in the following ways:
- Restore Size – As you age, your body’s production of hyaluronic acid declines, causing your lips to shrink. With dermal fillers, they can increase volume and restore your lips to their youthful size.
- Add Volume – Maybe you never had voluminous lips to begin with, and you would like to add volume. We can make naturally thin lips appear more full and plump.
- Improve Shape – Added volume can create better facial harmony and balance and correct asymmetrical lip shapes.
Dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, making them a low-maintenance treatment. We also place dermal fillers in other areas of the face for better facial contour, restored volume, and more definition. For dark circles, we recommend undereye filler!
For Subtle Fullness: Wrinkle Relaxers
Wrinkle relaxers like Botox and Dysport don’t add volume. Instead, these injections alter the muscle signals above your mouth, causing your lips to “flip” outwards. This creates the illusion of a fuller smile, but with even more subtle results. We also recommend a lip flip to anyone trying to correct the appearance of a “gummy smile,” because the injectable relaxes the muscles that lift the upper lip.
Lip flips don’t last as long as dermal fillers. You can enjoy an enhanced smile for 3 to 4 months before you need to schedule a maintenance appointment. Lip flips also offer a good opportunity to try on the appearance of fuller lips before committing to the long-lasting benefits of dermal fillers.
