The FDA has approved the use of popular filler Restylane for lip augmentation. Previously approved to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds, the hyaluronic acid filler has now been officially approved for lip augmentation. According to a release from Medicis, maker of Restylane, a clinical study showed that the results last up to six months.
Although used “off label” in the lips for years, Restylane’s official sign off means the product is now indicated for use in the lips to improve volume and shape. Also, because hyaluronic acid boosts natural collagen production, patients using the product will benefit from that as well. Currently the product is indicated for lip augmentation in patients older than 21.
