If you dream of having fuller, plumper lips, you probably already know that there are several different products out there to help you achieve your dreams. However, it can be tough to decide exactly which product is right for you based on your body and specific goals. Let’s look at the best injection treatments around today:

Juvederm

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler that is commonly used on many areas of the face, including the lips. Your doctor will place small injections around the lips and then massage the injection site slowly to encourage the formula to spread out evenly. Juvederm includes a small amount of lidocain to make the process more comfortable.

Compared to similar products, Juvederm has one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid as the active ingredient, which gives it a longer-lasting effect. It can last up to 12 months in some patients.

Restylane Lyft

Restylane is another hyaluronic acid filler used for the lips. It is very similar to Juvederm and costs roughly the same for a full-course treatment. However, you can get Restylane touchups significantly less expensive because it is sold in smaller doses.

Restylane typically lasts six to nine months and has a slightly lower concentration of hyaluronic acid. Nevertheless, it achieves about the same results as Juvederm. Restylane also uses a small amount of anesthetic in the formula to eliminate pain.

Restylane is often reported to feel softer and more natural after the initial injection, although there may still be slight bumps at the injection site while the area heals.

Restylane vs Juvederm for lips

Juvederm vs. Restylane Lyft

Both of these lip injections products are allergen-free because hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by the body. Many doctors use both interchangeably, or choose one based on personal preference, but their performance is very similar.

As you prepare for your injection fillers, ask your doctor about their preferred lip enhancer and why they choose each one. In some cases, the difference is as simple as the type of syringe that the product comes in, which may make it easier to place the injections accurately.
