Is there any non-surgical procedure (such as RF, ultrasound, laser) that can restore volume around the lips without fillers?

Asked By:mercer401 in Fairfax, Virginia

I am 58. I have lost volume around my mouth resulting in small wrinkles and puckering. My skin is not sagging in my lower face. (I had a facelift in 2010.) I want to avoid any kind of filler or injectable so as to avoid the complications of embolism or tissue necrosis. Is there any device that is best at restoring lower facial volume by increasing collagen and elastin? If so, how often will the treatment need to be repeated to maintain the result?

Answer: Heating devices can stimulate collagen, but do not generate enough volume as fillers; embolism can be avoided and is very rare
