For lip or smokers lines Volbella is a new option. The filler seems less viscous and injects easier making it more precise for this area but with the longevity we have come to expect from Allergan fillers.
Juvederm volbella produces a soft and natural correction to smokers lines without adding excess volume above the lip. Combined with quality medical skincare and possibly small amounts of botox these lines can be greatly improved.
Restylane silk and belotero are good HA fillers for superficial wrinkles. Although for many years I have used juvederm ultra without any problems and great results. Lasers are the first line treatment and should be used in combination with fillers or other radiofrequency devices to get improvement. I suggest speaking to a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.
While any filler can do a fairly good job on smoker's lines, Restylane Silk, a new one that is designed for lips, is the best. The other thing, of course, is that you should stop smoking as they won't get better without that! Additionally, Botox (only in the hands of a very good injector) is a great addition that will help to diminish lines.Both of these are things that need to be done by an expert. Good luck!
The FDA has recently approved Juvederm Volbella XC in the United States to treat perioral rhytids or "smokers lines" as they are often called even if a client has never smoked. This product has been proven to last upwards of a year however if very technique dependent. The injection technique of this product is very specific and is not for the novice injector. If injected too superficially or not within the specific subdermal region, one can be left with lumps, bumps and blue discoloration. It is important to find an injector who has performed thousands of Juvederm procedures. This product is fantastic however is only as good as the injector performing it. Best wishes.
