You’re pretty good about your anti-aging regimen.
You moisturize on a regular basis. You ensure that your dinner plate is filled with the nutrition you need to keep your body strong. You even indulge in regular dermatology treatments to help keep your facial skin looking young and beautiful.
But when it comes down to it, there’s a part of your face that’s blatantly advertising your real age to the rest of the world – your lips.
Due to repeated muscle movement, your lips are often one of the first places to develop wrinkles – and that problem is exaggerated if you smoke. Over time, those repeated movements form deep creases and wrinkles, causing your lips to potentially look much older than the rest of your face.
So what can you do to achieve younger-looking lips?
Restylane and Juvederm for Lip Wrinkles
By now, you probably already know that Restylane and Juvederm are among the two most popular dermal fillers available today. Both are FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers that can be used to smooth away wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, Juvederm is often used to add volume to the face, which can create youth-enhancing contours.
Both Restylane Silk and Juvederm XC have been approved by the FDA for the specific treatment of lip wrinkles and lines (including smoker’s lines). But when it comes down to it, which treatment is best for lips?
If you’re looking to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and creases from your lips, your best option is Restylane Silk. This filler uses a much thinner hyaluronic acid gel, which can help subtly correct wrinkles and smooth away lines. If, however, you’d like to achieve greater lip volume (think Kylie Jenner’s lips), then you’ll want Juvederm XC. This filler – traditionally used to add volume to the cheeks – contains a thicker HA gel, which adds instantly noticeable volume.
