Lip Filler Treatments

Restylane^®

Restylane^® is our most commonly used dermal filler and has an excellent safety profile. It’s a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid that is specifically formulated to act like your body’s own naturally produced hyaluronic acid, helping to visibly correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Restylane is injected into the skin with an ultra-fine needle to plump the skin and smooth away wrinkles and folds such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth or into your lips Restylane and Restylane-L generally last 4 – 9 months, depending on the area that is injected and then gradually is metabolized by the body.

The most common side effects include bruising, redness, swelling pain, tenderness, and itching. Most of these symptoms resolve within one week.

Restylane Kysse^® 

Lips lose volume, color, and elasticity with age. Restylane Kysse is a lip filler that adds volume, smooths upper lip lines for up to one year, and enhances lip color. Designed specifically for the movement of lips, Restylane Kysse is made with XpresHAn Technology’s™ innovative cross-linking gel for precise, natural-looking results.

Restylane-L^®

Restylane-L has all the benefits of Restylane but with the added bonus of lidocaine to help reduce discomfort for patients.

Restylane® Silk

Restylane Silk is a filler used to give your lips a more youthful look and will increase the fullness and volume of your lips while simultaneously eliminating the fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth. Restylane Silk was designed specifically to provide natural-looking results in the lips and the lines around the mouth by using smaller, smoother hyaluronic acid particles than those used in other Restylane products. Restylane Silk also contains lidocaine to reduce pain during injection and will last between 6-9 months.

Common side effects include swelling (other than the desired lip augmentation), tenderness, redness, bruising, itching and pain. The majority of these symptoms resolve within one week.

Belotero Balance®

Belotero Balance ^® Dermal Filler is designed to integrate into your skin and mold to your distinct facial contours. By adapting to the individuality of your skin, it softens lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth for smooth and natural results that are uniquely you.

Side effects include temporary reactions at the treatment site such as tenderness, swelling, firmness, lumps/bumps, bruising, pain, redness, discoloration, and itching. Side effects generally last 10 days or less.
