Lip deterioration doesn’t have to be permanent

Shapely, luscious lips are a universal sign of youth and beauty. However, as the years pass, the lips produce less collagen and naturally lose their size and shape. Often lips start to look flattened or much smaller than they were originally. In some cases, lips can even curl into themselves. Lip fillers act as a replacement substance for the lost collagen.

Some are born with unbalanced or thin lips, and lip fillers are a perfect solution for them as well. Dermal injections give them a smooth, proportional, and natural pout lasting up to a year. Dr. Markelov assesses each patient's face in order to suggest a lip shape and size that will complement their existing facial structure.

Lip Augmentation with Hyaluronic Acid Filler

RHA by Revance

Revance is a new, highly advanced injectable that mimics the hyaluronic acid the body naturally produces with supreme accuracy.

Juvéderm is one of the most popular lip fillers, and it reliably yields natural-looking, plump lips.

Restylane by Galderma

In addition to being a wonderful option for voluminous lips, Restylane is also great for ameliorating scarring caused by acne or trauma.

Versa is another viscous or gel-like filler that can effectively increase lip size, and it is often used to reduce smoker’s lines around the mouth as well.
