Thin and wrinkled lips, the main culprit of presbyopia, what is the solution

Not long ago, broadcaster Kim Joon-hee revealed a detailed review of her first lip filler procedure in her life, saying, “Satisfaction is the highest among treatments since birth,” and it became a hot topic. As a child, she was teased for her thick lips, but as she approached the age of 50, Kim, who was constantly worried about her lips becoming thinner, less elastic, and wrinkled, solved this problem once and for all after lip fillers, and was very well received by comparing photos before and after the procedure.

They are considered “Wannabe” by many women because their firm and voluminous lips enhance the three-dimensional effect of the face and create a youthful and vibrant image. However, since lips are skin, aging slowly progresses. Even if they had voluminous lips when they were young, the impression gradually changes as the skin on the lips dries to the inside of the mouth, becomes thinner, and the throat lengthens when the elasticity of the lips deteriorates due to aging like Kim. Even if it's not aging, I'm often worried because my lips are inherently thin or asymmetrical, and the ratio between the upper and lower lips isn't pretty, but makeup alone is limited. The most common treatment recommended at this time is fillers.

Fillers are procedures that inject ingredients that are harmless to the human body, such as hyaluronic acid, into areas where volume or wrinkle reduction is needed. The procedure is performed in a short time without surgical treatment such as anesthesia or incisions. Since the effects appear quickly and naturally without a separate downtown, it is a popular procedure for men and women of all ages.

Among them, the lips are an area that can have a dramatic effect on the entire image with a simple procedure. Middle-aged and elderly people want treatments to improve thin and wrinkled lips, and younger people want treatments to have trendy lips such as “false lips” and “Jang Won-young lips.” Although each has a different purpose, there is a characteristic that demand for treatment is high among all age groups.

Fillers are a safe procedure, but the lips are a sensitive area where the skin is thin, there is a lot of movement, and it is difficult to replace it with other skin if damaged. As such, it is important to be treated by medical staff who have rich clinical experience and a sense of aesthetics. Also, rather than impulsively deciding whether to perform the procedure, the process of checking the need for the procedure should be carried out through sufficient consultation with medical staff.

Don't be overly greedy. As voluminous and firm lips become a trend, there are people who prefer to add a lot of filler without considering facial balance. In many cases, filler removal procedures are performed because the entire face becomes unnatural due to an overlip. Therefore, for a satisfactory procedure, it is necessary to lower expectations and simulate natural lips that suit me in advance with medical staff without being excessive. In addition, it is important to consider filler products with low delayed inflammatory response and good adhesion and physical properties suitable for the skin.

For example, Meltz's Velotero, an imported hyaluronic acid filler, is manufactured using a multi-density method and has a lineup of 4 types, including soft, balance, incense, and volume, depending on differences in physical properties, so customized treatments can be performed according to individual needs. Intense lines are mainly used in the case of lips, which are areas with a lot of double movement. Patient satisfaction is high because the filler moves less due to its adhesiveness, which is a characteristic of the formulation, and it remains in the same shape as the initial treatment for a long time. In particular, when the condition deteriorates, the treatment area is swollen and red, and there is little delayed inflammatory response, so the satisfaction of not only consumers but also medical staff is high.

If you've been worried about thin, wrinkled, and saggy lips, why not upgrade your inner confidence by creating bright and fresh lips with a filler treatment before spring.
