When the lips age there are two processes that occur that add to the lips becoming less attractive. The first process to go is the lips volume. It cause your lips to get smaller which makes you look older. The second process it when wrinkles begin to form in the skin around the lips because of the repetitive actions of the muscles around the lips.

The replacement of the volume to the lips has become easier with the development of lip fillers. While collagen injections have always been very effective they only last three months at the most. The newest injections contain hyaluronic acids and can last for at least six months f not more. Also now is a better time then ever to get injectable fillers because doctors have perfected the use of anesthesia to make the procedure have very little discomfort. The results you get from injectables are going to greatly depend on how good your doctor is. If they do not do a proper job you may get the wrinkle reduced but be left with lips that look swollen and unnatural.

Another procedure is call the Fern Pattern technique. It was development in the Netherlands to treat lip wrinkles using Restylane. In this treatment the Restylane is inject just into the skin not the muscle which helps to reduce lumps that can form. Also used today is Juvederm that is injected in the same manner. A small needle is used to inject the filler under the top layers of skin. Both Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acids but Juvederm is thicker. Both treatments allow patients to resume their regular lives right after the visit and have the least chance for bruising.

Due to that fact that Restylane and Juvederm contain only a little amount of hyaluronic acid that has been modified to match what is naturally in the body, they are very same and work well with the biochemical make up in the skin. There are certain people who can have reactions to injections of any kind. These reactions can include swelling, redness and bruising. Also itching, pain and tenderness where the product was injected. These effect will show up with in a day or two of the treatment but should clear up with a week. Other than that there will be no real recovery time. They can even be done over a lunch hour with the patient retuning to work.
