Having full pouty lips is desired by many women as they represent both beauty and youth. Voluminous lips are also a common trend in Hollywood and on social media from celebrities to trendy makeup blogs and tutorials. Lips on fleek is a popular hashtag (#LipsonFleek) used on social media meaning lips on point. Yes we all want beautiful lips on point but few women are naturally blessed with Angelina Jolie lips. Fortunately Ritacca Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa in Vernon Hills has treatments, tricks and tips to achieve youthful and beautiful lips.
Lip Plumpers
Our favorite lip plumper is Jane Iredale’s Just Kissed Lip Plumper. It features a blend of spearmint, peppermint and ginger root extracts to stimulate blood flow to the lips causing a subtle temporary plumping effect. Lip plumpers are a great makeup must have to give that little extra boost of self confidence and they most often come in different colors , flavors and offer extra benefits like hydration which we all need this time of year. For an extra boost of hydration we also love Jane Iredale’s Lip Drink which is a balm that offers spf protection and as well as delivers much needed hydration for lips on fleek!
Glytone Eye and Lip Peel
This is one of our favorite anti-aging lip treatments. Aging certainly can affect the lips leaving them feel deflated, thin even displaying fine lines and wrinkles. The brightening eye and lip peel by Glytone is designed with lactic acid and tricholoracetic acid to increase skin firmness and reduces signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles as well as hyperpigmentation. It can even offer a subtle plumping effect!
Juvederm Volbella
Our favorite treatment for lip augmentation is Juvederm Volbella! Volbella is Allergan’s latest injectable filler for lip enhancement and we were one of the first practices in Illinois to offer it. Allergan is the same company that makes Botox and Juvederm.
Hyaluronic acid injectable fillers are one of the most popular and effective treatments for increasing lip volume. With a series of a few injections in a quick appointment lips can appear fuller, smoother, softer and more youthful for up to a year. There are many great injectables on the market commonly used for lip enhancement such as Juvederm, Restylane, Restylane Silk and Volbella. What makes Volbella unique is its longevity and use of advanced vycross technology that offers a natural result with less swelling post treatment. Volbella also works great at smoothing fine lines around the lips which is a common sign of aging. For those looking to achieve significant volume enhancement we often combine Juvederm with Volbella for its extra plumping effects. The injectors at Ritacca Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa are national trainers for Allergan the makers of Volbella and Botox.
