Fuller Lips for a Youthful Look

Research suggests that fuller lips may have as much to do with a woman’s perceived age as the appearance of wrinkles. “The volume in your lips starts to decline as early as in the mid-30s,” says Susan Stevens Tanne,M.D., Medical Director of COSMETIC LASER MD in Livingston, NJ. 

Injecting the lips with hyaluronic acid filler likes Restylane, Juvéderm and Perlane can create fuller, plumper lips. There are two different types of candidates that benefit from lip injections, explains Dr. Tanne. “One needs volume; the other needs to balance their features.” A common concern among women who augment their lips is that they’ll be overfilled, creating a “duck-like” look where the lips jut out. But, in the hands of an experienced injector who can fill the lips incrementally, the lips can be augmented to create a completely natural look.  

"I absolutely love augmenting lips with filler.  I've done hundreds of of lips - any anyone who's been to my office lately can see all of the amazing before & after photos.  The best part is when my patients look in the mirror and say 'WOW!  This looks totally natural.'" 

A New Wrinkle Reducer Set To Debut This Spring

Come this spring, you may have yet another option to choose from in terms of injectables that erase, and prevent, wrinkles. Xeomin, a new botulinum toxin from the makers of Radiesse and Asclera, just received approval by the FDA to temporarily improve the appearance of lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).

While it’s still unknown how Xeomin will be used differently than Botox or Dysport, we do know that Xeomin is formulated as a more pure form of botulinum toxin without any additives, possibly making it less likely to cause adverse reactions. Xeomin is also the only FDA-approved botulinum toxin that does not require refrigeration. Xeomin is currently used in 14 countries including Germany, the UK, France, Italy and Spain, under the name Bocouture. 

While we at COSMETIC LASER MD have not had any experience with XEOMIN yet, we wanted our patients to know that we will stay abreast of every new filler and injectible option as they are approved so that we may always bring you most effective and safest rejuvenating treatments.  

The Liquid Eyelift

Out of the popularity of the “liquid facelift” comes another option to rejuvenate your appearance. This one is being called the “liquid eyelift.” To set the record straight, neither one is a true lift because the results are temporary. However, for those individuals who are looking for a non-surgical rejuvenation, the “liquid eyelift” can be a welcome option.

Using injectable fillers (such as Juvederm, Restylane and Radiesse), Botox or Dysport, and eMatrix, Dr. Tanne rejuvenates the entire eye area, giving you a refreshed, more youthful appearance. Filler is used for delicate crinkly skin under the eye to reduce the appearance of hollows and lines, and to gently re-inflate the sunken area in the temple. Crow's feet are erased with Botox/Dysport and a bit of filler. The brow is re-supported to reduce droop with filler and gets a subtle lift from Botox/Dysport to minimize sagging lids.  It is important to note, however, that if there is significant sagging, fillers and Botox won't do the job and you would most likely be a better candidate for surgery. There are pros and cons to each option. Dr. Tanne would be happy to give you an evaluation regarding your specific concerns and answer any questions you may have during a private consultation with her. As always, consultations are complimentary. 

To complete the rejuvenation of the eye area, gentle resurfacing of that delicate skin with eMatrix Fractional Sublative Rejuvenation will give you a firmer, more youthful appearance with minimal to no downtown.

Cosmetic Laser MD also carries a complete line of firming, lightening, hydrating and repairing eye products.  Speaking of VA-VA-VOOM eyes, April 30th is the last day of our amazing LATISSE EYELASH ENHANCER BOGO (buy-one-get-one-free) promotion.  Ask our Front Desk for details.
