Vision loss, hearing loss, grey hair, wrinkles – these are some of the more common and obvious signs of aging, but what about the lips? No one ever talks about the natural thinning of the lips, but the Nashville, TN community is finally starting to catch on to a new trend in the anti-aging industry – lip augmentation.
It’s true – your lips rely on the same collagen and elastin that gives your skin its youthful glow and healthy structure. And much like the skin loses its volume, shape, and structure as we age, the lips experience a similar downfall. Collagen production dips, existing collagen breaks down – it’s a full-blown collagen crisis!
If you’re worried about losing those luscious lips of yours, don’t panic – it’s not too late to turn back the clock and plump up the volume at your favorite Music City medspa. Lip enhancement can be achieved in a variety of different ways, but our talented team at The SKN Bar will help you navigate all of your options.
Let’s talk about lip fillers – the little shot of hyaluronic acid your lips didn’t know they needed, until now! Also known as lip augmentation or lip enhancement, the lip filler procedure involves injecting a gel-like, hyaluronic acid-based filler into different parts of the lip to enhance its shape, structure, and volume.
So, what is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar that’s produced naturally by the body. It’s primarily found in the skin, joints, and eyes, where it acts as a cushion, lubricant, and moisturizer – it’s capable of retaining more than 1,000 times its weight in water, which is why so many people approve it as safe and effective for the lip area.
Over time, the body breaks down and absorbs the hyaluronic acid (HA) – meaning results are temporary, not permanent. The injection gives your lips an instant boost in volume, giving you that Kylie Jenner look most people are after these days. At The SKN Bar, you don’t have to chase anymore – you can achieve.
Stressing over thin lips is a thing of the past. We live in 2023 – a day and age where we don’t have to feel stuck in our bodies. Advancements in science, medicine, and technology allow us to fine-tune our looks and appearance however we like – even if that means puckering up and kissing those thin lips goodbye.
Here are some of the many reasons why you should consider undergoing the lip filler procedure:
Lip fillers should not be confused with Botox. While lip fillers contain hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring substance), Botox contains botulinum toxin (doesn’t occur naturally in the body. Lip filler adds volume to the actual lip itself, but Botox relaxes the muscles around the lips to make them appear fuller and plump.
If you’re interested in learning more about how Botox can help you enhance the fullness and plumpness of your lips (also known as a lip flip), book a consultation with your team at The SKN Bar – we would love to help you navigate your options!
One of the reasons why people love hyaluronic acid-based fillers is because they’re ‘reversible’ in a way. If you get to a point where you think you’ve ‘overfilled’ or if you simply don’t like the end result, the HA can be dissolved from the body through a process that involves hyaluronidase – hyaluronic acid’s kryptonite.
Much like the hyaluronic acid found in your filler mimics the hyaluronic acid produced naturally by the body, the hyaluronidase used to dissolve lip fillers mimics the hyaluronidase – an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid – produced naturally by the body. This speeds up the body’s natural process.
If you feel you went overboard with your lip filler, don’t panic – you can ‘shake it off’ (to quote Nashville’s own, Taylor Swift) with lip filler rehabilitation at The SKN Bar. Your fresh start is right around the corner!
