Restylane Silk is the first FDA approved lip filler that is uniquely designed to add volume to lips and smooth out wrinkles around the mouth. Some people seek to augment their naturally thin lips with a dermal filler like Restylane Silk. However, this is also a very popular treatment for people that experience thinning lips and new wrinkles around the edges of their mouth due to age.
Dr. Daniel Behroozan, board certified by the American board of Dermatology, and the founder of the Dermatology Institute of Southern California, is pleased to offer Restylane Silk as an effective cosmetic treatment to help patients revitalize their lips and their overall appearance. Dr. Behroozan and his team of dermatologists are pleased to be able to offer this effective filler treatment at their Beverly Hills and Santa Monica locations.
Smoother, younger looking lips with Restylane Silk
Over time the skin around our lips begins to loose elasticity, often causing our lips to thin. This natural process also typically causes vertical lines and wrinkles to form around the area of the lips and mouth. In addition, genetics and sun exposure can contribute to the appearance of wrinkles on the face and in the lip area. Although there are several factors that can cause thinning lips and wrinkles, Restylane Silk can be the perfect solution to achieving fuller, smoother looking lips. This cosmetic enhancement can boost self-esteem and give your appearance a fresh, rejuvenated look.
How Restylane Silk Works
Restylane Silk is a dermal filler, though it is specifically designed to improve the appearance of lips and the vertical lines that can accumulate in the mouth area. Restylane Silk is made up of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a natural substance in the body that gives our skin a healthy and smooth appearance. As a HA dermal filler especially designed for lips, Restylane Silk is comprised of smaller, smoother hyaluronic acid particles than other Restylane products. These small HA particles are what give skin its smoother texture. Restylane’s innovative composition reduces wrinkles around the mouth and gives lips added volume that is subtle and natural looking.
Is Restylane Silk Right For You?
While it is always important to speak with an experienced medical professional before seeking any type of cosmetic treatment, Restylane Silk is generally recommended for people looking to improve the lines and wrinkles around their mouth and enhance the fullness of their lips. Patients receiving this treatment must be over 21 years old and in a general state of good health.
