Lip Enhancement and Facial Wrinkles Treatment - Injectable Fillers
Wrinkle-free, fuller, more sensuous lips can give the entire face a new, youthful-looking aesthetic. Lip enhancement from Dr. Mark Richards is an excellent way to plump up the lips and recontour the appearance of the mouth. With dermal fillers such as Restylane® and Juvéderm, our cosmetic surgeon provides lip enhancement for those patients seeking long-lasting, effective results that will help them meet their goals.
Restylane®
Restylane is one of the most popular dermal fillers available. In addition to lip enhancement, Restylane® can also fill in lines and wrinkles and make the face appear years younger. Composed of hyaluronic acid (a substance that occurs naturally in the human body), Restylane® contains no animal proteins and, therefore, does not require allergy testing. Plus, Restylane® typically leaves no scarring at the injection sites. Lip enhancement with Restylane® generally takes about 15 minutes or less, and the results can last up to six months or more. Follow-up treatments can help maintain the effects of Restylane® for many years to come.
Juvéderm™
One of the newer dermal fillers on the market, Juvéderm™ is designed to enhance and augment the lips, as well as rejuvenate the face by reducing the appearance of fine lines. Similar to Restylane®, Juvéderm™ is made of naturally-occurring hyaluronic acid and no allergy testing is required. Injections of Juvéderm™ in targeted areas on the lips provide fuller lips for six to nine months, and sometimes even longer. Results are immediate, and typically continue to improve over the next few days.

Radiesse®
Radiesse® is an FDA-approved, next generation dermal filler that is setting a new standard for the correction of deeper facial lines and skin folds, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, Radiesse® is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure, giving you long-lasting and beautiful correction of deeper folds and depressions. In many patients, the effects of Radiesse® may last a year or more. Offering clinically proven safety and longevity, Radiesse® is a convenient treatment that stimulates the body to produce more collagen - often with just one or two office visits. In addition, Radiesse® dermal filler is FDA-approved for the restoration and/or correction of facial lipoatrophy. Radiesse® treatments fill and add volume and also correct the signs of facial wasting/aging and restore a natural youthful look. You get rejuvenating and long-lasting wrinkle correction and facial contour enhancement with Radiesse®.
