Thin Lips
Need more volume in your lips?
Thin lips can sometimes be linked to aging, sun exposure, and smoking, but are most often associated with genetics. The loss of collagen in the lips, which are natural proteins in giving the lips structure, reduces both the lip's natural plumpness and color. To correct this, dermal filler injections are readily available that effectively plump the lips to increase their volume.
Treatment Options
Dermal Filler
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected under the layer of the skin to restore the lessening or lost volume, smooth lines such as wrinkles, or enhance the definition of particular parts of the face. With that being said, it is an effective treatment for conditions that has irregularities, asymmetry, or abnormality in shape, form, and definition of the skin such as wrinkles, humps, or receding skin. Dermal fillers can vary in their composition to make them more suitable for the treatment of different areas. The most common type of dermal filler is the hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler, which is composed of a sugar molecule hyaluronic acid, a fluid that is naturally occurring in our bodies and is typically used for wrinkles, under the eyes, lips, and cheek augmentation.
