đŞ Airbrush magicâin the form of HA filler â¨
Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler isnât just for enhancing lips or contouring cheeksâitâs also an incredible tool for softening stubborn static lines that neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport canât treat. While neuromodulators work beautifully for most dynamic lines (think forehead, glabella, crowâs feet) because they relax the muscles beneath the skin, that means we donât want to use them in areas where muscle movement is essential for natural expressionâlike the smile lines around the mouth.
Thatâs where HA filler shines. It can gently fill and smooth those etched-in lines without affecting expression. The results in this post (top photo is before, bottom is after) are from just one sessionâwith a subtle touch of hydration to the lips as well.
Depending on how deep the lines are, some people may need a second treatment for optimal results. And for long-term support, pairing filler with collagen-stimulating treatments like Moxi, RF microneedling, or Sculptra, plus a strong skincare regimen, can actually rebuild the skin over time. Repetitive movement and collagen breakdown cause these linesâso the more we support the skinâs repair processes, the better your results will hold up.
Pro tip: Donât skip your SPF. It protects your investmentâand your collagen.
Downtime: Expect 1â3 days of moderate swelling, and give it 1â2 weeks for the filler to fully integrate and for any bruising to resolve.
