Not everyone is born with full, balanced lips. Even then, a well-defined pout can fall victim to aging, smoking, or sun exposure. At Dermatology & Cosmetic Laser Center, our dermatology team offers non-surgical lip augmentation services in Huntington, New York, to shape, smooth, and enhance your lips with precision and care. Whether you want to restore volume lost with age or want fuller, more defined lips, we can tailor your treatment to your unique needs.
Why are my lips no longer youthful?
Most of us expect the usual signs of aging—sagging skin, wrinkles, and under-eye bags. However, what often catches people by surprise is the loss of volume and definition in the lips. Over time, the body’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid declines. These substances are responsible for keeping lips plump, hydrated, and smooth.
As their levels drop, the lips may become thinner, flatter, and less defined, with fine lines forming around the mouth. External factors, such as sun exposure, dehydration, and smoking, can accelerate this process. Fortunately, lip augmentation services can help restore lost volume and redefine the lip borders.
Who needs lip augmentation?
Lips may be a small part of your body, but they significantly impact how you look and feel. Lip augmentation in Huntington is ideal for individuals seeking to enhance their natural beauty with improved lip symmetry.
You may benefit from lip augmentation if you:
- Have naturally thin lips and want a fuller appearance
- Notice volume loss due to aging
- Want to balance uneven or asymmetrical lips
- Desire smoother lips with fewer lines or wrinkles
- Want to boost your confidence and enhance your smile
There’s nothing wrong with thin or flat lips, but you may wish they were fuller or more eye-catching. Whether your goal is subtle enhancement or noticeable volume, lip augmentation can help you achieve lips that look and feel naturally beautiful.
How does non-surgical lip augmentation work?
Would you like fuller, well-defined lips without surgery? We can help! Our dermatologists are pleased to offer the latest lip fillers, featuring the most advanced formulas available on the market. We use Juvéderm®, a powerful, non-surgical filler that uses a smooth gel made of hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a substance your body naturally produces to keep the skin hydrated and plump.
During treatment, your dermatologist carefully injects Juvederm into specific areas of your lips to add volume, enhance shape, and improve definition. The amount and placement of the filler are customized to meet your specific needs and goals.
Treatment typically takes 15–30 minutes and involves minimal discomfort. Results are visible immediately and can last up to 12 months, depending on your metabolism and the product used. You’ll need touch-up treatments to preserve your desired look for longer.
Is there downtime after lip fillers?
One of the compelling benefits of lip fillers is the minimal downtime required. Many patients can resume their everyday activities after treatment. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness, but this usually resolves within a few days.
