Peptide lip therapy is a type of cosmetic procedure that involves injecting peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, into the lips to enhance their shape, size, and contours. This therapy has gained popularity in recent years as a less invasive alternative to surgical lip enhancements.
Some key things to know about peptide lip therapy:
- Peptides used include molecules like arginine, glutamate, and palmitoyl pentapeptide. These peptides may stimulate collagen production and tissue growth in the lips.
- The treatment typically uses a dermal filler containing the peptides which is injected in and around the lips and vermillion border. Popular fillers include varieties of hyaluronic acid.
- Effects can include a subtle plumping effect, improvement in definition, overall smoothness and youthful appearance of the lips and mouth area.
- Results are gradual and cumulative, becoming more noticeable over the course of treatments. Initial effects may last around 6 months.
- Multiple sessions are required to see optimal results, with many patients undergoing treatments every 6-12 months for maintenance.
- Side effects are usually mild including temporary redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness around injection sites.
Some benefits that peptide lip therapy offers over surgical lip treatments:
- Less invasive and fewer risks: Does not require actual surgical procedures like implants or major injections.
- Shorter downtime: Most patients can return to normal activity right after injections.
- More subtle results: Enhancements look natural, not overdone. The effects are gradual versus dramatic changes.
- Lower cost: Single syringes of the lip filler cost a few hundred dollars compared to thousands for surgical lip lift or implants.
Overall peptide injections, as a form of dermal filler, offer a relatively safe, non-invasive approach to enhancing lip shape and volume. They stimulate the skin's own regenerative mechanisms for a soft, smooth rejuvenation of the lips and mouth area.
