Lips Lips Lips: What's Hot for 2015

Lips are Back! 

What's new for 2015 and more...

Now that winter is over, people are running to get their pretty faced primed up for the spring and summer season. One of the fastest rising and most preformed procedures is lip enhancement. Tons of celebs, young and old, are rushing to the doctor to get this treatment and gain either a sexy or youthful look.

Lips are one of the major contributors to beauty on a woman's' face, hence all the make-up, lip-liners, and lipstick used in common day routines. Our lips can appear deflated, dry, cracked, or small from various factors. The three major contributing factors are: age, environmental damage, and genetics.

Fortunately there are plenty of options to help lips stay looking fresh, young, youthful, and sexy. Some general measures such as tooth-brush exfoliation, antioxidants, avoiding harmful chemicals, and sunscreens can really make a difference.

A quick fix is commonly desired, and that can be done with injections. Most people dread the "duck-face" lips, but some actually ask for them! Most lips that you think are "done" are usually a more drastic effect, while there are hundreds of people walking around with "done" lips and you would have no idea! The ability to do a less drastic approach is due to the wide range of products available now.

Juvederm Ultra Plus XC has been on the market for years and is the "go to" lip filler. It allows for a more plumping effect than some of the other injections and typically lasts 6 months.

Restylane is a great alternative to juvederm and allows for a bit smoother experience but results only last about 3 months on average. Not as plumping as juvederm.

Belotero is relatively new to the market and quickly making  its mark. Belotero is similar to Restylane but lasts 3-9 months. It also has a smooth feel to it. Not as plumping as juvederm but allows for a very natural look.

Restylane Silk is the newest kid on the block. It allows for the some plumping effect while trying to keep the smoothness of traditional Restylane. It too allows for a very natural look. 

A quick note about these injections. There are potential for side-effects. They are very rare. The injections are made of hyaluronic acid gels that absorb water allowing your lips to look sexy and plump. Most side-effects can be dissolved with a second simple injection. Usually for a full appearing lip more than one syringe may be required.
