LIP CORRECTION AND ENHANCEMENT

Expectations from cosmetic treatments have never been higher*: with lip corrections proving to be very popular. "Ageing gracefully" is becoming an essential preoccupation! Aim: to ward off the effects of time! 16% of women who are worried how their skin looks (due to their age) think that their lips lack volume, of whom 25% are over the age of 60**. The importance of looking good for the younger generation lies in their search for perfection. With the rise of social media and influencers, women's requirements have changed. Young people, called "millennials", are turning to cosmetic treatments and they are increasingly looking to have fuller, plumper lips. The lips communicate a large amount of information and emotion to those around us. As we age, the lips have a tendency to***: • Get thinner and lose volume • Become dehydrated • Lose definition (contours are less well-defined and can therefore change the expression on your face) Moreover, some patients can have asymmetric lips, either from birth or as a result of surgery***. STYLAGE® Special Lips has been specially designed to treat all indications related to the ageng of the lips. Its is also available with a local anaesthetic, Lidocaine, for a greater comfort during the procedure. • Lip volume augmentation. • Rehydration of the lips • Definition of lip contour INJECTION PLAN: Injection into and around the labial mucosa using conventional techniques (retrograde tracing, micro-bolus). * Monnet-Corti, V.
