Looking to enhance your lips with subtle definition or achieve a sultry, voluminous smile? Whether it’s PDO threads for refined shape or a Botox® Lip Flip with fillers for added fullness, LuminaSkin offers personalized lip enhancement treatments to help you achieve your ideal look.
Why Lip Enhancements Are More Popular Than Ever
Full lips are a hallmark of beauty in today’s culture, popularized by Hollywood stars and social media influencers. Celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Eva Mendes, and Huda Kattan have openly shared their cosmetic procedures, reducing stigma and encouraging others to explore treatments. Influenced by iconic stars like Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lawrence, many seek lip augmentation to boost confidence and embrace youthful beauty trends.
The numbers back it up: according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), minimally invasive cosmetic procedures grew by 84% from 2000 to 2020. The demand for injectables surged even further during the pandemic as patients prioritized self-care and cosmetic enhancements.
While building confidence is a key motivator, studies also reveal that certain proportions make lips more attractive. Research published in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery found that lips with a 53.3% larger surface area than baseline and occupying 10% of the lower face are perceived as most appealing. With age, collagen levels decrease, leading to thinner lips—but modern treatments can restore that youthful plumpness.
Lip Enhancement Options
At LuminaSkin, we offer two popular lip enhancement treatments that deliver stunning results: PDO threads and Botox® Lip Flip with dermal fillers. These procedures are quick, minimally invasive, and can even be done on your lunch break!
PDO Threads for Lip Definition
If you’re looking for defined, shapely lips rather than extra volume, PDO threads are an excellent option. A PDO thread lift involves inserting dissolvable threads, like NovaThreads, around the lip border using a fine needle. These threads grip the skin to tighten, smooth lines, and enhance the Cupid’s bow, giving your lips a natural, lifted appearance.
Duration: The procedure takes about 30 minutes, with results lasting up to 9 months.
Benefits: Tightens skin, smooths fine lines, and adds subtle definition.
Convenience: Quick and safe, perfect for a lunchtime appointment.
Botox® Lip Flip + Dermal Fillers for Fullness
For fuller, plumper lips, a Botox Lip Flip combined with dermal fillers is the perfect solution. The Botox Lip Flip involves injecting 4-6 units of Botox above the upper lip (near the Cupid’s bow), relaxing the muscles to make the lip curl outward and appear more prominent.
Pairing this with hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Restylane Kiss®, Juvéderm®, or Juvéderm® Volbella enhances volume and smooths vertical lip lines. This two-pronged approach restores youthfulness while improving lip shape and symmetry.
Benefits of Fillers:
Smooths vertical lip lines and restores volume.
Balances and enhances lip and facial symmetry.
Creates a well-defined Cupid’s bow and lip border.
Adds fullness to thin or aging lips.
Longevity: Results from the combined treatment can last up to 1 year!
