The lips have dethroned the eye contour as a point of interest for women when it comes to improving their image. It doesn't matter if your lips are thin, small, asymmetrical … With hyaluronic acid, nanoblading, patches or, what is the same, the latest cosmetic novelties and the most avant-garde treatments that we have compiled for you, you will be able to enhance your lips and fight the barcode (the vertical wrinkles around it). And the best, with very natural results.
I want thick lips
As the years go by, the lips become thin and flat because the production of collagen decreases , which is what provides the skin with volume and juiciness. Precisely, the skin in this area is thinner and does not have sebaceous glands, which are what produce that lubrication or natural protection in the rest of the face.
To improve the volume and contour of the lips, products and treatments that increase the production of collagen and the hydration of the area are necessary. In this way, "it is possible to raise the smile again and end the sad mouth effect", says Dr. Marina García Moya, from the Instituto De Benito. Although many of the treatments demanded are to achieve fuller lips, more and more women seek to “redesign” their smile by balancing the size of their lips, since the most frequent is that the upper lip is thinner and, on occasions, reaches to be so much that it looks like a line.
Hyaluronic acid for your lips: the natural touch-up
Neither duck lips nor monkfish mouth. The lip filling with resistant hyaluronic acid (Teoxane) is recognized by most experts as "the technique that offers the most natural result due to its biocompatibility with our own collagen", explains the aesthetic doctor Paula Rosso. The hyaluronic is injected just at the edge of the lip, which allows to maintain the Cupid's bow with a very natural and defined effect. It lasts about 10 months, the time it takes for the substance to be reabsorbed, and costs about € 340. Of all the substances that can modify the shape of the lips, hyaluronic acid is the most used.
Benefits:
- Profiles. In addition to increasing, the lip can also be subtly lifted, only infiltrating the profile and without filling in the rest.
- Glossy effect . Hyaluronic doesn't just fill the lip; With a smaller particle size and less density, it smooths wrinkles and achieves fuller lips.
- Corrects asymmetries. If the upper lip is thinner, it manages to compensate it proportionally with the lower one.
- It is safe? Yes, because it is a substance that is already in our body, so it is compatible.
- It's forever? No, its results range from 8 to 10 months.
More volume without punctures
As if it were an intense fitness session, Endermolift by LPG increases the volume of the lips without the need for infiltrations. With a head, controlled pulsations are emitted on the lips to stimulate the production of new hyaluronic acid and collagen, already present naturally in our skin. It is an express protocol of 30 min that is worth € 50 per session (10 would be needed, two per week and to maintain the effect, a monthly session)
Erase the barcode with laser
The barcode or the fine vertical wrinkles that form on the lip (from repetitive movements over time or habits such as smoking) can be smoothed out. The light pulses of the non-ablative fractional laser , together with a specific peeling that is carried out in the area, manages to reduce the barcode. Its price: from € 350. Normally 3 separate sessions in 21 days are enough, and its effects last about 6 months.
Lip lift: the mini lip lift
"When the corner of the mouth descends, providing a constant expression of anger, it is possible to resort to a localized mini facelift", explains Dr. Marina García Moya. On this occasion, it is necessary to go through the operating room to perform a skin resection above the cupid's bow, hiding it at the base of the nose. At the same time, the vermilion of the lip is raised in the center, shortening it. It is performed under local anesthesia and can be combined with hyaluronic acid filler in the lower lip, which is normally sunken. The price depends on the case, but it is approximately € 2,500.
Nanoblading or semi-permanent makeup
Over the years it is normal that the lips also lose color because they contain fewer melanocytes (cells that produce pigment). The new techniques in micropigmentation achieve more "juicy" outlined lips. With super-fine needles, dye is deposited to give a touch of color and definition to the lips. The result, “plump” lips, as if just painted with a semi-permanent lipstick, that lasts between one and three months. The pigments used are organic, achieving a very natural finish. Between € 300 and € 500 (depending on the size of the lips).
