Will your lips be ‘kissable’ this Christmas?

With the party season soon upon us, are your lips mistletoe ready?

As we hit our 50s , lips become more lined

As we hit our 50s, lips can become more lined and look less smooth.  As a result lipstick ‘bleeds’ and the overall effect can be incredibly ageing.  Now there is a way to lose the hard, lined lip look to give your lips a more hydrated, softer more youthful appearance, improving the roundness in the body of the lip –but not making the lips look over inflated or augmented; the Lip Smoothie with Restylane Vital.

Right now the trend is for beautifully shaped, pretty lips that look velvety smooth. Prone to drying out by over exposure to sun and wind, lips also tend become more lined and dehydrated in appearance as we age. The challenge is to keep our lips in good condition and looking irresistible.  Lip hydration provides the solution.

Younger looking lips that pass the kiss test

Restylane Vital boosts the skin’s hydration system by delivering hyaluronic acid in the skin providing deep dermal hydration to nourish your lips to make your lips look rounder and softer without a hint of a pout – younger looking  lips that pass the kiss test.  The effects are very subtle and it is perfect treatment for women with a good natural shape to their lips but who seek added hydration and a softer look in the body of the lip, not lip augmentation. Of course if your lipstick bleed lines are too pronounced, best to get the whole area above the lip smoothed with Restylane Vital.

No dreaded ‘trout pout’

Emily Cash says  “I have always been blessed with a good pair of lips, but as I have aged they have flattened and become crêpey. This was the perfect treatment for me as my lips look natural and plump again without the dreaded ‘trout pout’ I couldn’t be more pleased!”

The treatment comprises two treatment sessions about 4 weeks apart, with a treatment review recommended about 4 months later and a top up treatment to boost duration to around 6 – 8 months. Cost in the region of £500 for a course of two treatments. Top up treatments cost around £300.

 “Less is more is my philosophy.  The art of lip enhancement is the creation of beautifully shaped lips and ensuring that lips do not look “done”. Lips should look, and feel, soft and natural, not hard or out of proportion.”
