So whether you want to go the natural route or try a treatment like dermal fillers, facials, or laser hair removal, we have you covered!
Keeping Your Lips Healthy
Your lips have thinner skin than anywhere else on your face. The smooth pink appearance of your lips is due to the fact that blood vessels are visible beneath this fragile skin. This delicate skin on your lips is more sensitive and moves more than other regions of your face’s surface. As a result, it’s critical to take care of your lips to keep them healthy and attractive. Some ways to care for your lips include:
Moisturize
Moisturize your lips using a lip balm or petroleum jelly to keep them hydrated. Keeping your lips hydrated is important because it makes them appear plump and soft. Try to avoid licking your lips because this will dry them out and can actually lead to infection.
Protect
Protect your lips from sun damage, such as dryness or discoloration, by wearing sunscreen. Despite the fact that many people use sunscreen on their face, not as many people know to apply sunscreen specifically to their lips. Using at least 30 SPF or higher is recommended to get the best protection. Additionally, it is recommended to apply sunscreen every hour since eating, drinking, and speaking can all cause sunscreen to be removed from your lips.
Exfoliate
Regularly exfoliating your lips can help keep them soft and free of dead skin cells. You can use a lip scrub or simply wet your toothbrush and brush your lips gently in a circular motion.
Avoid Smoking
Smoking is bad for your health overall, and it’s also terrible for your lips. Smoking causes dryness and wrinkles on the face, which will make your lips look older than they are. Additionally, smoking can cause a discoloration of your lip’s surface due to nicotine buildup and a lack of proper blood flow.
Aesthetic Treatments for Improving Lip Appearance
There are many aesthetic treatments that you can try to improve the appearance of your lips. Below are some of the most popular treatments:
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a popular treatment for lips because they can provide an instant plumping effect, have minimal risks, and require very little downtime. They are also a great option for those who want to avoid surgery since they are minimally invasive. Dermal fillers are made from a variety of materials, but the most common are made from hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and is used to maintain skin hydration and volume.
When dermal fillers are injected into the lips, they can help add volume and create a fuller appearances. They can also help to add definition to the lips and decrease the appearance of wrinkles. Dermal fillers can also be injected into the areas surrounding the lips in order to fill in fine lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment
IPL treatments are another way to improve the appearance of your lips. For starters, IPL treatments use multiple wavelengths of light in order to eliminate the appearance of pigments such as sun damage or age spots. IPL treatments also stimulate the production of collagen by heating the skin and can even help destroy hair follicles to get rid of unwanted hair on the upper lip. IPL treatments are minimally invasive and only require a short amount of downtime.
Facials
Facials are another way to improve the appearance of your lips. A facial can help remove dead skin cells from the surface of your lips, which can help reveal fresh new skin and make your lips appear smooth and soft. Facials also usually include a massage for the face and neck area, which helps with blood circulation around the mouth region. This improved blood circulation can help decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. There are different types of facials that can be used, such as:
Skinwave Hydrogen Treatment
The Skinwave Hydrogen Treatment exfoliates the outer layer of skin while simultaneously depositing alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), beta hydroxy acid (BHA), hyaluronic acid, and hydrogen into the deeper skin layers. This provides deep hydration and decreases signs of aging in your lips, as well as the rest of your face.
Microdermabrasion Treatment
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive treatment that uses an abrasive tool made of laser-cut diamond tips to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells. This reveals fresh new skin underneath and can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your lips, as well as dark spots or scars caused by acne. The effects are immediate and you will have smoother and softer lips after just one treatment!
Fire and Ice Facial
The Fire and Ice Facial starts with diamond-peel microdermabrasion, then a glycolic peel (fire) is applied to the skin to remove more dead skin cells. Once the peel has been neutralized, the “Ice” or rejuvenating mask will be applied to the skin to add hydration.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a great option for those who want to remove unwanted hair from their lips. Laser hair removal with the Lumenis LightSheer® laser uses a long laser wavelength to destroy the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin. This prevents new hairs from growing back. The treatment is quick and painless, so it’s perfect for those who are on the go! This treatment can be used to improve the look of your lips by eliminating upper lip hair growth.
