The lips and the lines around the mouth, like other areas of the face, show signs of aging as you get older. This often results in lip thinning, lost shape, and an increase in vertical lines above the lip. Restylane Silk is designed specifically to provide natural-looking results in these particular areas by using smaller, smoother hyaluronic acid particles than those used in other Restylane® products.
Frequently Asked Questions
Many people with lips that have adequate skin thickness can use Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, or Belotero. Where Restylane Silk really shines is with the patient who has delicately thin lip tissue and thinner skin. The small, squiggly lines around any lips will also be best treated with Restylane Silk.
If you’ve tried other fillers for your thinning lips or haven’t been satisfied with the outcomes from thicker fillers, then Restylane Silk is the newest & best option for you!
Lack of volume in the lips may be a genetic trait, and you don’t have to be a certain age to want volume. Restylane Silk is an option for any patient 21 or older. Dr. Sawyer will help you decide which gel formulation will work best for you!
In most cases, the thin lines require that Dr. Sawyer use a needle to carefully place the product as needed near the surface of the skin. Injections into the lip body and border can generally be placed with a smooth tip microcannula. Restylane Silk also contains lidocaine to make the injections more comfortable.
