A funny thing happened recently when I plugged my face into one of those “Which celebrity do I look like?” things via Facebook. I got Angelina Jolie. I’ll attribute that to the dark hair and light eyes, but honestly, my first thoughts were, “Those lips, though…” I wish! It seems as I age, too, I’m losing the plumpness my lips retained when I was in my teens and early 20’s. The more I think about it, the more I realize I do want those old lips back. Maybe I even want them to look a little better than before.
It turns out I’m not alone. Most women experience a thinning out of the lips, deflated shape, and increased wrinkles above the lip area as we age. And let’s face it: lipgloss only does so much. But, many of us who long for plumper lips are (with good reason) cautious about doing anything “drastic.” I want a natural look without that “She got her lips done!” drama that many processes result in. Enter , designed to improve the look of lips that are thinning, losing shape, and developing vertical lines above. The product aims to provide natural-looking results by using smaller, smoother particles than those used in other Restylane® products.
And the results are in! The latest stats on Restylane® Silk display that most who’ve used it are obsessed. I’m so excited to be next in line to try this innovative product.
- 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.
Restylane® Silk is the first and only FDA-approved product specifically designed for lip enhancement and the smoothing of wrinkles around the mouth in patients 21 years of age and older. Silk is designed to enhance the unique shape of your lips; the small particles allow precise application to create the ideal shape. Duck lips, begone! The new age in lip enhancement is upon us, and it’s looking pretty darn beautiful from where I sit.

Heya i’m for the primary time here. I found this board and I to find It really helpful & it helped me out
a lot. I am hoping to present one thing again and aid others like you aided me.
You sold me lady! Mama’s lips could use some help. Haha! It’s all about the natural look for me though.
I so need this in my life! My lips were never full, but these days they really need help.
I have heard about this! My lips have always been on the thin side, but now, I’m definitely noticing the ‘feathering’ – not a fan…. this sounds ideal.
It’s great that they can make it look natural.
