The causes of changes in the lips

Lips can lose their radiance or show irregularities for several reasons :
• Natural aging, which causes a decrease in collagen production and lip hydration.
• Environmental factors, such as cold, sun, or pollution, which dry out the lips.
• Lifestyle habits, like smoking and sun exposure, which worsen wrinkles and dehydration.
• Genetics, as some patients naturally have thin or asymmetrical lips.

Benefits of Dual Lip Sublimation

The Dual Lip Sublimation is much more than a simple enhancement treatment; it is a comprehensive approach that restores radiance, youthfulness, and harmony to the lips.
This technique has numerous benefits, making it a preferred choice for patients seeking to enhance their lips.

• Nearly perfect symmetry.
• Natural and harmonious result.
• Quick and minimally invasive procedure.

Techniques

Lip enhancement using the ‘Dual Plan Sublimation’ method is based on two techniques :
• Hydration and revitalization of the skin part of the lip.
• Hydration and revitalization of the vermilion.

Hydration and revitalization of the skin part of the lip

Hydration and revitalization of the skin part of the lips through hyaluronic acid injection is a lip injection technique designed to restore freshness and radiance to the skin of the perioral area.
This method effectively treats dryness, fine lines, and aging in this zone.
By injecting small droplets of low-crosslinked hyaluronic acid, the skin is intensely hydrated, stimulated, and revitalized. This approach also promotes natural skin regeneration by stimulating fibroblast activity and collagen production.

What issue is treated ?

This technique addresses various aesthetic and skin needs, such as :
• Dryness of the perioral skin, often due to age or environmental factors.
• Appearance of perioral fine lines, caused by decreased collagen and elastin production leading to dermal thinning.
• Actinic damage, resulting from prolonged sun exposure.
• Loss of vitality and radiance of the skin around the lips, which becomes dull.
• Prevention of signs of aging, for younger patients wishing to improve their complexion and maintain skin quality.

How does the method work ?

During an initial consultation, Dr. Romano examines the quality and condition of the perioral skin to identify areas requiring treatment.
After disinfecting the area to be treated, an anesthetic cream may be applied for the patient’s comfort.
Using a fine needle, very small amounts of hyaluronic acid are injected into the dermis at 1 mm intervals.
For optimal results, the treatment can be repeated two to three times during the first year.

Who is this method suitable for ?

This technique is suitable for a wide variety of patients :
• Patients suffering from age-related skin dryness with visible fine lines around the lips.
• Patients with skin damage caused by environmental factors such as sun or wind.
• Young adults wishing to refresh their complexion and improve the appearance of the lips and perioral skin.
• Patients seeking effective prevention against premature aging of the perioral skin.
• Patients concerned about dull or tired-looking skin around the lips.

What are the causes of the issues treated ?

Alterations in the cutaneous part of the lips may result from various factors :
• Natural aging, which reduces collagen and elastin production, leading to loss of elasticity and firmness.
• Exposure to external elements, such as sun, cold or pollution, which dry and weaken the skin.
• Smoking, which accelerates skin aging and promotes the appearance of fine lines.
• Genetics : some people naturally have thinner skin prone to dehydration.

The advantages of this treatment

Hydration and revitalization of the skin part of the lips through hyaluronic acid injection is a gentle and effective solution to improve this area.
This treatment not only provides intense hydration and more supple skin, but also helps prevent aging. This technique is therefore suitable at any age.

This technique offers notable benefits for the perioral skin :
• Deep and lasting hydration, making the skin softer and more supple.
• Visible reduction of perioral fine lines.
• Stimulation of skin synthesis, through activation of fibroblasts and collagen production.
• Improvement of skin quality and radiance : the skin is revitalized.
• Lasting results, visible after a few sessions and lasting up to a year.

Hydration and revitalization of the vermilion

Hydration of the vermilion through hyaluronic acid injection is an innovative and effective technique to improve the density and appearance of the lips. This method specifically targets the vermilion, the red part of the lips, which is often prone to dryness, fine lines, and cracks.
By using low-crosslinked hyaluronic acid, it is possible to intensely hydrate the lips, making them soft and supple. Unlike volume-enhancing techniques, this approach focuses solely on hydration and improving lip quality.

What issue is treated ?

This method allows for correcting several issues related to lip dehydration :
• Lip dryness, often due to age or environmental factors.
• Flaking and cracked skin, signs of prolonged lack of hydration.
• Vermilion fine lines, resulting from loss of skin elasticity.
• Dull or rough appearance.
• Blurred or poorly defined lip contours.

How does the method work ?

During the initial consultation, Doctor Romano identifies the areas to be treated by marking the entry points and treatment lines.

For hydration
During the initial consultation, Doctor Romano identifies the areas to be treated by marking entry points and treatment lines. A small entry hole (pre-hole) is made using a fine needle about 5 mm from the corner of the mouth.
A blunt-tip cannula is then inserted through this opening.
Lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid is injected superficially into the subcutaneous layer of the vermilion and evenly distributed across its surface.
The lips appear immediately more hydrated and smoother.

For revitalization
After disinfection, using a fine needle, the doctor injects small amounts of hyaluronic acid into the superficial layers of the lips.
The “fanning” technique is used to evenly distribute the product, covering the entire treated area.
If fine lines are present at the Cupid’s bow, they are also corrected.
For this indication, Dr. Romano uses low-crosslinked hyaluronic acid to ensure natural results.

Who is this method suitable for ?

Hydration of the vermilion is particularly suitable for :
• Dry and rough lips.
• Patients wishing to prevent signs of lip aging without altering their volume.
• Patients who want to smooth fine lines and improve vermilion hydration.
• Patients with cracks or fissures due to chronic lack of hydration.

What are the causes of the issues treated ?

Several factors are responsible for lip dryness :
• Natural aging, characterized by a reduction in collagen and elastin production.
• The absence of sebaceous glands in the vermilion, making this area more vulnerable to dehydration.
• Environmental factors, such as sun, wind or cold, which dry out the lips.
• Lifestyle habits, such as smoking or insufficient hydration, which worsen lip dryness.
• Genetic predisposition : some people naturally have drier lips.

The advantages of this method

Hydration of the vermilion through hyaluronic acid injection is an ideal solution to restore radiance and softness to the lips and prevent their aging.
This technique offers numerous benefits :
• Deep hydration, for soft and supple lips.
• Texture improvement : the vermilion becomes smooth and even.
• Reduction of fine lines, giving the lips a younger and revitalized appearance.
• Natural result : the shape of the lips is respected, with minimal volume increase.
• Quick and painless procedure.

What is the price to improve the appearance of the lips ?

The Dual Plan treatment, which combines deep and superficial injections, is offered at a rate of 650 CHF for one syringe of hyaluronic acid. This price includes precise planning of the dual injection planes, performing the injection under strictly safe conditions, as well as post-procedure medical follow-up. Whether aiming to improve contour, definition, or both, the price remains the same as long as only one syringe is used.

Is it possible to improve the volume, hydration, and contour of the lips in a single session ?

Yes, hyaluronic acid injections allow simultaneous improvement of the volume, hydration, and contour of the lips in a single session. Thanks to precise techniques and suitable products, it is possible to reshape the lips, deeply rehydrate them, and add natural volume for a harmonious and immediate result.

The contour of the lips plays a key role in their overall appearance. By working on volume, contour definition, and hydration simultaneously, the result is more natural and harmonious. Neglecting the contour can lead to visual imbalance and accentuate signs of aging.

Targeted hyaluronic acid injections allow for correcting asymmetries while respecting the natural shape of the lips. The goal is to delicately adjust volume and contour to restore balance, without excessive correction, while maintaining the natural expression of the face.

Yes, gentle and gradual injection techniques, such as micro-boluses or skinboosters, allow for enhancing the lips by hydrating and reshaping them without creating excessive volume. This approach provides a subtle and natural result, with smoother, more supple, and more radiant lips.
