Over time, the skin on your lips loses hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar, which absorbs moisture and keeps the skin well hydrated and youthful-looking. When hyaluronic acid diminishes, lines begin to appear around the mouth and the lips start to thin, corners of the mouth give a sad droop, and lines can develop from the corners of the mouth to the chin (Marionette lines).
Dermal fillers and BOTOX® injections can reduce the signs of ageing, adding fullness back again, easing the droop at lip corners, smoothing vertical lines around the mouth and reducing the appearance of marionette lines.
Dermal fillers can also be used to subtly enhance what nature has given, whatever our age. For instance, fullness can be added to thin lips and asymmetric lips can be modified to adjust proportions, lip edges can be defined. Lips can be enhanced to become fuller and more sensuous.
