How to Plump Up the Volume in Your Lips

I find this an appropriate topic to write about as it is close to Valentines day and everyone wants plump "kissable" lips on Valentines Day. While some turn to little solutions such as lip plumping glosses, the best long term option is dermal hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm Ultra or Belotero. Lip injections have become extremely popular as women often see lip lines & a loss of volume with age. Here are some of the main causes of lip lines: #1 Smoking! While smoking is first, all types of movements that involve pursing or using your lips including straws can cause lip lines. #2 Age: As you get age your skin loses collagen and elastin -- which are what give a full and smooth appearance. In addition, facial fat, which accounts for some of your lips' plumpness, is lost naturally as you age just as it does in the mid-face. #3 Thinning, your lips tend to thin as you age which can cause lip liner to bleed, and an appearance of "no lips" when you smile. Fillers such as Juvederm can give you the youthful appearance of full lips you used to have, or the plump supple lips you always dreamed about at any age! Using a dermal filler like JUVÉDERM® XC is a safe and effective way to replace the hyaluronic acid which is what naturally retains water your skin has lost, bringing back its volume and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds. This can be a very painless treatment! Most medical spas can numb the lips topically with a lidocain type solution & because lips are membrane they numb in minutes. The actual filler such as Juvederm Ultra XC or Belotero also have Lidocaine mixed into them. These results should last 6-12 months on average and can give you the natural supple kissable lips you crave just in time for Valentines Day!
