Dry lips

Dry and chapped lips are a common problem, especially in winter. The skin on the lips is extremely thin, which can easily become dry under the influence of wind and dry air. Moisturizing creams and lipsticks are a temporary solution, but maintaining a high level of hydration requires multiple applications throughout the day, which many people may find embarrassing. Lack of adequate hydration of the lip skin leads over time to the appearance of unsightly and painful cracks on the lips.

If we find it difficult to keep our lip skin moisturized with creams and lotions, it is a good idea to turn to a specialist in aesthetic medicine.

How to moisturize dry lips?

Chapped and dry lips receive optimal and long-lasting hydration with the help of hyaluronic acid injection (lip contouring procedure). The physician of aesthetic medicine selects the appropriate dose of the preparation so that the level of hydration of the lips increases, but their shape does not change.

Lip contouring procedure is also used when the Patient wants to delay the natural aging process of the skin lip contour and correct existing defects, such as low volume or irregular shape of the lips.

Lip contouring procedure is preceded by a medical consultation, during which the physician gets acquainted with the Patient’s expectations and decides on the scope of the procedure. Lip moisturizing treatment with hyaluronic acid is performed on the upper and lower lip in men and women. Lip moisturization can be combined with other procedures to improve the skin, for example, chemical or laser peeling or dermabrasion.

Results of the treatment

Good results of lip contouring procedure in order to moisturize them depend on the experience of the physician and the quality of the chosen preparation. If the procedure was performed correctly then the Patient can forget about the problem of dry lips skin for many years. Lips after the procedure are smoothed and properly moisturized, so they look young and attractive.

The positive results of hyaluronic acid injection can usually be seen immediately, but the full effect of the procedure is visible after about a week. The good effect of the treatment should last for many months, although this is dependent on the Patient’s facial expression, lifestyle, and how often and for how long they expose their face to sunlight
