This is a very popular treatment for the young and beautiful in order to achieve that much admired look of full, sensual “Angelina Jolie” lips. The most commonly used material is Restylane, made of hyalouronic acid, which is a natural sugar-like component of our skin. Restylane® & Perlane® are injected into and around the lip to enhance and create the desired fullness. This is a great way to jazz up your looks for that big event or blind date tonight! This treatment also dramatically enhances the appearance of our more mature patients, who know that we all experience thinning of the lips as we age. Restoring the original, fuller lips (and we are not talking about over-enhancement!) results in a significantly more youthful overall impression. We recommend the use of an anesthetic cream to make the treatment more pleasant, and dental blocks can also be provided for those who are truly faint of heart. Try it, you will be amazed by the result!
