As time goes by, our lips tend to lose their volume, and this may begin as early as in our twenties. Volumized, plump, refined lips help to create a youthful, vibrant appearance as well as provide an overall rejuvenated, fresh look. Lip fillers offer these benefits and can be completely customized to your preferences.
At Illuminate Plastic Surgery, we have the highest standards for personalized artistry and patient well-being. Our team of skilled aesthetic practitioners specializes in delivering satisfying lip filler results while prioritizing positive patient experiences.
Lip fillers are a cosmetic treatment that can enhance the lips and the surrounding areas of the mouth. These treatments increase lip volume, refine lip shape, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
Typically, the products used are hyaluronic acid fillers, which not only increase volume but also provide moisture and can improve the appearance of the skin. HA fillers result in a natural lip look and can offer either subtle or more dramatic results, depending on individual preference.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance found throughout the body that helps to lubricate and add moisture to joints, skin, and eyes. When used synthetically as an injectable lip filler, it adds natural-looking volume, and since it is biocompatible, there is little to no risk. At Illuminate, we offer these three highly effective options:
Juvéderm dermal fillers such as Juvéderm Volbella, Juvéderm Vollure, and Juvéderm Ultra are an exceptionally smooth and refined group of HA fillers that can provide highly delicate and natural-looking results. Juvéderm fillers use hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring molecule in your skin with a remarkable ability to attract and retain moisture. This remarkable molecule can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, helping your skin achieve a plump, supple, and youthful appearance.
The Restylane family of products, including Restylane Kysse, are designed to be flexible with great durability and are able to effectively withstand the constant movement of the mouth for long-lasting results. Whether you're looking to smooth wrinkles, plump lips, or add volume to your cheeks and hands, Restylane offers a range of specialized formulations to cater to specific needs, from addressing fine lines and laugh lines to augmenting lips and contouring the mid-face.
The RHA Collection is a new FDA-approved filler that boasts exceptional resilience in order to adapt to facial movement while keeping its desired shape and volume level. This filler delivers longer lasting results compared to other fillers in addition to very natural-looking results. The RHA also uniquely contains lidocaine within the serum for maximum comfort during treatment. Illuminate is one of only a few providers in the Bay Area able to offer this advanced option.
Lip fillers can do wonders for your confidence with subtle yet refined results. They add volume to your lips, correct unevenness, improve a gummy smile, and delicately accentuate your cupid's bow.
