What Are the Different Injectables Used for Lip Rejuvenation?
Several types of injectables are commonly used for lip rejuvenation to enhance the appearance of the lips.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 2.4 million cases of soft tissue fillers were reported in 2015. The major portion of this number was from products made of hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body, especially in the skin tissue. The primary function of hyaluronic acid is to cushion different body parts, hydrate the skin, and fill in the area around the eyes.
Some brand names of injectable fillers made with hyaluronic acid include Restylane, Juvederm, and Belotero.
In addition to the hyaluronic acid fillers, there are other options, such as Radiesse, which uses calcium hydroxyapatites—a natural component found in the body. Like other injectables, Radiesse fills in the lines on and around the mouth.
When considering lip rejuvenation with injectables, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified medical professional who can assess your individual needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your goals and medical history.
The choice of injectable and technique will depend on factors such as the desired outcome, the amount of volume enhancement needed, and the specific characteristics of your lips.
