Top 5 Advantages of Using Hyaluronic Acid Lip Fillers
When the weather begins to heat up and we start to interact more with other people, many of us feel self-conscious about not meeting our idea of what a “flawless” or “perfect” physical appearance should be. Research has shown that the majority of both women and men aren’t completely satisfied with their looks. There’s no doubt that despite knowing how important self-esteem is, learning to love ourselves as we are isn’t always easy. One of the features plenty of people don’t feel completely confident about is their lips. In an era when celebrities and social media influencers constantly flaunt full, perfectly shaped, smooth pouts, it can seem challenging for everyone to attain this look. For those who naturally have thin or asymmetrical lips due to genetics, or those whose lips have become wrinkled, deflated, or scarred as they get older, lip fillers from our Philadelphia-area team at Cross Medical Group can be the easiest way to enhance them.
The most commonly used temporary lip fillers like Juvederm® Volbella® XC and Ultra XC are made with hyaluronic acid. Although the word “acid” might make you squeamish, hyaluronic acid (HA) is actually a sugar molecule that the body produces naturally to keep your skin hydrated and supple by drawing in moisture.
Here five of the main benefits of lip fillers:
- The injector can use a specific amount of filler in a given treatment and control how much volume is added to the lips.
- Wrinkles and fine lines look smoother because the added fullness to the lips causes the skin surrounding them to become tighter.
- The results of lip fillers are long lasting.
- If you don’t like the way the filler looks or have side effects such as lumps, the filler can be easily dissolved by the injector.
- If you have naturally thin lips and don’t want them to look unnatural or are unsure about fillers, the injectables can be added gradually and slowly over several appointments.
