Patients seek Restylane Silk injections to attain plump lips

Generally, when we look good we feel good. Thanks to advances in cosmetic dermatology, there are various treatments tailored to help us feel better about our appearance. Residents in Glen Ridge and beyond can find treatments to meet their aesthetic needs at image Dermatology ® P.C. in Montclair. In addition to providing dermal fillers that can reduce the signs of aging, we provide treatment to plump the pout. This treatment involves injections of Restylane Silk.

Restylane Silk may be ideal for you if you are over 21 and unhappy with your lips. Founder of image Dermatology ® P.C., Dr. Jeanine Downie provides the treatment to improve the shape and structure of the lips. Restylane Silk is also used to add volume to the lips and fill in wrinkles and lines around the mouth.

Restylane Silk is made of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance found in the body that lubricates joints and moisturizes the skin, among other functions. As patients age, the hyaluronic acid content in the body begins to decrease. However, Restylane Silk adds the volume that may have been lost in the lips and across the face. The result is diminished wrinkles and fuller lips.

For treatment, we inject Restylane Silk near the mouth. An anesthetic called lidocaine can ensure the utmost comfort during the procedure. The treatment session lasts about 30 minutes to an hour. Dr. Downie recommends two sessions within two weeks.

Restylane Silk provides many benefits including:

• Natural looking results – We can control the amount of Restylane Silk administered to ensure naturally beautiful results.
• Fewer allergic reactions – Since hyaluronic acid is a substance found in the body, most patients are not likely to have allergies.
• Long lasting results – Patients can enjoy voluptuous lips for at least six months following treatment.
• No downtime – Patients can plan to return to work or other daily activities after a treatment session.

Do you want to explore your candidacy for Restylane Silk? To begin your journey toward plump lips, call (973) 509-6900 to schedule a consultation appointment with Dr. Downie. She understands the needs of patients and she has experienced firsthand the results of the dermal filler treatments she provides.
