The benefits of Restylane Silk lip augmentation highlighted

You can attain fuller, plumper lips with a cosmetic procedure called lip augmentation. Restylane Silk is a dermal filler approved by the FDA for adding volume to the lips. It contains hyaluronic acid, a substance found in the body that keeps our joints lubricated. Other products in the Restylane family can be ideal for smoothing facial lines and wrinkles. Dr. Jeanine Downie, a nationally prominent dermatologist, knows firsthand the benefits of the dermal fillers she offers at our practice, image Dermatology ® P.C. in Montclair. She has been providing injectables to patients for more than two decades.

Restylane Silk can improve the appearance of your lips by adding shape, structure, and volume. Dr. Downie recommends one to two treatment sessions to achieve optimal results. The effects last up to six months. The benefits of hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane Silk include:

• The amount of substance injected can be controlled, so we know much lip volume is created.
• Any lumps and bumps created by movement of the lips can be dissolved easily.
• An allergic reaction is unlikely due to the natural substance used.

The procedure can be performed safely, effectively, and quickly in our office with little to no downtime. Before the injections, a topical or local numbing agent is applied to provide the utmost comfort. We will mark the areas to be treated before using a very fine needle to inject the substance into the lips. Lipstick or other lip products are best avoided immediately after the procedure.

You should be able to notice a difference immediately and embrace a natural looking result. Dr. Downie prides herself on having her executives continue to look like executives. She would like to stress that you will never look done. Her moms still look like moms and her 30 and younger crowd is also loving their terrific results. Lip augmentation is for patients older than 21 who want to improve the volume of their lips. You may not be candidate for treatment if you have severe allergies, a bleeding disorder, or a hypersensitivity to local anesthetics such as lidocaine.

In addition to plumping your lips, you may want to consider Botox or a dermal filler to rejuvenate your appearance.
