Episode Transcript

Welcome to the Aesthetic Medicine Minute. Today’s focus is on a topic that resonates with many of my patients — the subtle yet significant differences between lip enhancement and lip rejuvenation.

Lip enhancement is a term that often conjures images of fuller, more voluminous lips. It’s a procedure aimed at adding volume, usually through the use of hyaluronic acid fillers. This approach is especially popular among younger individuals who desire that plump, often sought-after look.

On the flip side, we have lip rejuvenation. Aging naturally leads to the loss of collagen and elastin, contributing to thinner lips and the appearance of fine lines. Lip rejuvenation targets these signs of maturation, restoring a natural, more youthful look without necessarily amplifying volume excessively.

It’s important to differentiate between the two because they cater to different needs and expectations. As your aesthetic medicine advisor, I’m here to guide you through these choices with the objective of achieving ‘Sculpted Confidence’ that aligns with your personal aesthetic goals.

Remember that whether it’s enhancement or rejuvenation, the key is customization; each approach is tailored to you. As always, safety and satisfaction are paramount.

It’s April 25th, and if you’re contemplating a change or seeking advice on lip treatments, don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for spending this minute with me, until the next — here’s to a day as radiant as your healthiest smile.
