Restylane Silk: Designed specifically for lips and the lines around them
For a silky, smooth natural-looking smile. Restylane Silk has recently been approved for release in the United States! It’s the first and only FDA-approved product specifically designed for subtle lip enhancement and the smoothing of wrinkles and lines around the mouth.
Kristin Gunn is one of the first people trained in the Austin area for this treatment. She specializes in natural looking lips. What is her trick to filling lips so that they look natural?
Kristin says:
- There are very specific proportions that Leonardo da Vinci actually noted many years ago called PHI. This refers to the upper lip being in a ratio of 1:1.6 to the lower lip. The lower lip is at least equal size or larger than the upper lip. It’s pretty much the only math I do, lol.
- The key is looking at the entire face and assessing the lips proportionately to the rest of the features. When you are focusing on the lips, you must focus on the entire perioral area (think drawing a large, circle around the lips starting immediately under the nose to the side of the lips and then to the base of the chin and this essentially encompasses the perioral area)”.
What components go into creating the perfect pair of enhanced lips on a person?
Assess symmetry, size, deflation of the lips and shape of the lips in addition to volume loss, the definition of the cupid’s bow and wrinkles around the mouth.
The era of duck lips will soon be a thing of the past with the recent FDA approval and early February launch of Restylane Silk. Known as the “Princess of Fillers,” this will be the first and only approved product for the treatment of lips and the area where women get “barcode lines,” aka “smokers wrinkles.”
When the lips are not in balance and harmony with the rest of the facial anatomy and the natural shape of the individual’s lips, they will look fake and artificial. When lips are overfilled they can resemble stuffed sausages instead of being sensual, reflated and contoured.
HOW DOES RESTYLANE SILK WORK?
Just like the other members of the Restylane family, Restylane Silk is a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid — a sugar that is naturally present in your skin.
WHAT MAKES RESTYLANE SILK DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RESTYLANE PRODUCTS?
Like other areas of the face, the lips and skin surrounding the mouth show signs of aging as an individual gets older. This often results in lip thinning, lost shape and an increase in vertical lines above the lip.
Restylane Silk is designed specifically to provide natural-looking results in these areas. That’s why it’s made of smaller, smoother particles than those used in other Restylane products.
Restylane® Silk’s unique particle gel formula, along with an ultrafine needle designed for improved accuracy, helps give you softer, more precise results — just what you need for a natural-looking smile.
SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
In the same clinical study, patients treated with Restylane Silk reported fast-acting, long-lasting results:
- 98% of patients reported a visible improvement in lip fullness 14 days after injection
- 76% of patients still had lip improvement six months following injection
As with any other hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into the lips, the most common side effect is temporary swelling. Please see below for Important Safety Information for Restylane Silk.
