Lip augmentation has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures and dermal fillers are the go-to for lip volume and definition. There are many types of dermal fillers available each with their own benefits based on their composition and formulation. Below are the top 5 dermal fillers used for lip augmentation.
1. Juvederm Ultra
Juvederm Ultra is a hyaluronic acid-based filler specifically designed for lip enhancement. Its smooth consistency makes it easy to inject and gives natural-looking results. Patients choose Juvederm Ultra to plump their lips, fill in fine lines around the mouth, and create well-defined lip contours. Results last up to 1 year so it’s a great option for those looking for temporary yet effective lip augmentation.
2. Restylane Kysse
Restylane Kysse is another hyaluronic acid filler that’s gained popularity for its ability to add volume to the lips while feeling natural. This filler is formulated with XpresHAn Technology™ which allows for flexibility and movement in the lips so patients can express themselves without stiffness. Results from Restylane Kysse last up to 1 year so it’s a great option for long-lasting results.
3. Belotero Balance
Belotero Balance is known for its unique formulation that integrates smoothly into the skin giving subtle and even results. It’s great for fine lines around the lips and adding volume to enhance overall lip shape. The soft gel consistency of Belotero Balance is perfect for patients who want a more natural look without excess volume. Results last 6 months to 1 year.
4. Radiesse
While known as a volumizing filler for deeper wrinkles Radiesse can be used off-label for lip augmentation due to its thicker consistency and longer-lasting results compared to traditional hyaluronic acid fillers. Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres Radiesse adds immediate volume and stimulates collagen production over time which gives improved skin texture and elasticity around the lips. Results last about 1 year or more.
5. Sculptra
Sculptra is different from traditional fillers as it’s a collagen stimulator rather than providing immediate volume through direct injection. Composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) Sculptra gradually adds lip fullness by stimulating the body’s collagen production over several months after treatment. While it may take longer to see results compared to other fillers Sculptra gives long-lasting results that can last up to 2 years.
