Restylane Silk is the first and only FDA approved product exclusively designed for subtle lip enhancement and the treatment of lines and wrinkles (also known as “barcode” or “smoker” lines) around the mouth.
What is Restylane Silk®?
Restylane Silk is a smooth, transparent hyaluronic acid (HA) gel that can be injected into the lips or the area around the mouth to restore natural youthful definition, symmetry and smooth wrinkles.
The Aging Lower Face
Similar to other areas of the face, the lips and area surrounding the mouth also show signs of aging as an individual gets older. This often results in lip thinning, lost shape and/or an increase in vertical lines above the lip.
With age, fat and collagen begin to deteriorate in the face, leading to thinner skin and more noticeable lines and wrinkles.
Lip shape, fullness and definition are based on a variety of factors, including genetics. Other external factors, such as sun exposure, smoking and excessive pursing of the mouth, can result in lines around the mouth and cause the lips to thin and lose definition.
Aging lips can also result in the flattening of the “v” shaped area of the upper lip (“Cupid’s Bow”) and the downward turn of the corners of the mouth.
The Ideal Restylane Silk Patient
Restylane Silk is designed for individuals looking to address the signs of aging around their lips and mouth with a subtle, natural enhancement.
How is Restylane Silk Administered?
Restylane Silk is administered by a physician or qualified healthcare professional. The product is injected into a patient’s lip and/or area around the mouth one or two sessions as needed and the process typically takes less than one hour.
Restylane Silk is injected via an ultrafine needle that is designed to enhance precision and minimize patient discomfort.
Expected Results In clinical studies, the results of Restylane Silk lasted approximately 6 months following treatment.
Clinical Studies
In a U.S. clinical trial involving 221 mostly female patients, 98 percent of patients reported a visible improvement in lip fullness 14 days after injection and 76 percent still had lip improvement at six months following injection.
