This week, as the holidays approach, you might want to think about a last-minute touch-up that will have you looking and feeling your most beautiful.

Dermal fillers and other wrinkle-reducing treatments, including Botox and Dysport, are speedy ways to give your appearance a subtle refresh. Safe and effective, these treatments smooth skin and add an indefinable sparkle to your overall appearance.

Also, now is an optimal time for scheduling procedures that are good to take care of during the winter. SmartLipo and Fraxel are just two that yield results that improve over time.

Meanwhile, we wish you and your families a beautiful holiday and a safe, peaceful and happy new year. My staff and I hope that you enjoy this time with the special people in your lives.

See you soon, and all best,

Dr. Covey

Many of you have a simple request when you come to my office: you don’t want anyone to know that you’ve been there. One of the biggest giveaways is the overdone lip.

My guiding principle has always been “less is more.” Much more. When it comes to restoring lips, this philosophy is critical. To restore lips to their more youthful selves, naturally, I like to utilize a triple-play: Define, shape and add volume.

To give your lips the appearance that they once had, I carefully use dermal fillers in small specific ways to create subtle changes that provide maximum visual impact. The secret is balance. If any part of the lips is too fat or too thin, the result will affect the entire appearance of your face.

First, I define the edge between the top lip and the skin above it, beneath your nose. Then, I place gentle injections in key spots to reshape and plump the upper lip, keeping it looking natural. The upper lip should have variation across the lower border and a bow across the top.

As for the lower lip, which typically has a uniform shape all the way across with a little extra volume in the middle, I take all angles into account. When I look at your lip from the side, I want to make sure that it isn’t too puffy, and when I look from the front, I like to see some extra height.

Lip injections take only a few minutes, and you should be able to go back to your normal activities right after the procedure. 

Lips tend to thin out and lose fat as we get older. A variety of lip injection options are available to take care of your concerns, and the results should last from several months to a year, depending on the type of filler used. We like to use the hyaluronic acid fillers Restylane, Restylane Silk, Belotero Balance, Volbella and Juvederm.

So, call our office to talk about how we can give you back the lips of your youth.

And…Remember to register for our upcoming Fall Beauty Seminar, scheduled for this coming Saturday, October 14 at 10:30 am. You’ll learn about the latest cosmetic treatments, including Infini, the nonsurgical approach to reducing sagging skin and wrinkles on the neck, and Kybella, the fat-melting “double chin” injection. You’ll also see me perform treatments and “glimpse the new you” on computer imaging. We’ll be offering exclusive discounts and free gifts to attendees.

I’m happy to offer you the latest FDA-approved addition to Juvederm’s collection of dermal fillers, Volbella XC. Developed explicitly for the lips and mouth area, Volbella immediately adds natural volume and shape and minimizes the appearance of fine lines.

You may have noticed that as you’ve gotten older, your lips have lost some definition and tiny “lipstick lines” have started to emerge above and below. With Volbella, lost contours can be replaced and your face will look more youthful, overall.

Its smooth gel formulation is just right for providing lift and support in this delicate and very important area. You’ll notice a soft, natural look and feel and the results are enduring, sometimes lasting as long as a year. Volbella treatments also seem to cause less swelling than traditional lip fillers do. It has been available in Europe since 2011 and is used in more than 70 countries worldwide.  

So, call our office today for a complimentary consultation and we’ll see if Volbella is the right choice for you.

See you soon.
