Los Angeles Collagen, Restylane, Sculptra and other Fillers
Restalyne, Zyplast, Collagen, and Sculptra are all examples of Dermal Fillers available to plump up deep furrows on the face in such areas as the nasolabial folds, 'smile lines' and the dreaded 'lipstick lines'. Lip augmentation can be achieved with dermal fillers restoring a youthful look to the mouth in minutes.
Restylane®
Restylane® is fast becoming a popular choice as an injectable filler for treating facial wrinkles, as well as for plumping up lips. Because it is water-soluble, it fills wrinkles and depressions in the skin with a natural substance while slowly being reabsorbed by the body.
Restylane is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance present in the human body called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement that is gentle and safe to your skin.
Restylane is often used to treat wrinkles around the corners of the mouth, the lips, the nasolabial folds (commonly referred to as "parentheses"), and the frown lines (between the eyebrows). Your Restylane injections will last from 6 to 12 months.

Restylane is also an excellent temporary filler for lip augmentation. Experience shows that Restylane is effective for up to six months when injected in the lips. Because the effects of Restylane are not permanent, you have the option to discontinue use if your tastes or fashion trends change.
