Collagen treatment is usually performed to reduce signs of aging skin or to treat scars. It works by lifting the skin’s surface. However, there are many new ways to use collagen and collagen-like products for aesthetic purposes. One of the most popular collagen treatments is enhancing lip volume or providing better lip definition.

Increasing lip volume with fillers increases the fullness of the patient’s lips but not permanently. This treatment may last up to twelve months.  It is also used to better define the “lipstick line” or vermillion border of the lips. True collagen may be used to erase the small vertical lines that emanate on the upper lip “smoker’s lines,” even in those that have never touched a cigarette.

Lip treatments may be performed on one lip or both, depending on the patient’s preference. Unlike other collagen procedures that require a week’s time to observe for allergic reactions, collagen lip injection with Cosmoderm, Cosmoplast, Juvederm, or Restylane may be performed immediately in one day and the procedure takes only fifteen minutes.

Patients who receive collagen lip injection recover quickly. There are minimal side effects, all of which are short lasting. These include redness, swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort.
