However, it's a common practice that no more than 4 units should be placed on the injection sites on each lip. A total of 4 to 6 units on both areas is sufficient to relax the lower and upper lip muscles and get rid of the smoker's lines.
You can use hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers to add volume to your lips and deal with lines and wrinkles around the lips (smoker's lines). You could inject around 10 to 20 syringes of filler (total) for the upper and lower lips.
0.5ml is generally what is required to smooth the skin above the upper lip and often a touch of filler is placed into the upper lip tissue itself, to ensure a balanced profile ratio. 1ml of filler can be used to treat the 'smoker's lines' in conjunction with adding some volume to the lips themselves.
How far does 1 ml of dermal filler go? Traditionally cosmetic practitioners would inject 1mL of dermal filler into one area of the face. For example, 1mL lip filler and 1mL cheek filler, however, only 1ml of filler can enhance your entire face.
Smokers Lines Filler
One of the quickest and easiest ways to reduce smokers' lines is with an injectable lip filler treatment. Lip fillers restore volume and smooth out wrinkles around the mouth and upper lip area.
Botox can be a good choice in people whose lip lines are there on movement but not on rest, and so who would respond well to a very light dose of Botox. Instead, in most cases, to smooth out lines around the mouth the most popular option is dermal fillers.
If it's something that bothers you, dermal filler can be used to treat the area, and, typically, a practitioner will use anywhere from 0.5ml to 2ml filler per side, depending on the individual and how deep the lines are.
It's a common misconception that dermal filler is going to dramatically change your appearance with the very first treatment. In actual fact, 1ml of dermal filler is just enough to create a very subtle result that clients can then build upon over time (if that's your goal).
0.5ml is a great introductory filler amount for first-time lip filler clients, especially if you're nervous of what the result will be. Remember you will swell after treatment a little, so you will not see major change with 0.5ml after the treatment has settled over the first 2-4 weeks.
The average treatment will require just 0.5 to 1 ml of filler to achieve the desired effects, so you are unlikely to need more than one syringe of dermal filler. In some cases, a little more filler may be used to achieve a more dramatic look, but it would rarely require more than 2ml (or 2 syringes) of filler.
Conversely, for those patients who want a subtle change, with hydrated/rejuvenated and slightly defined lips, 0.5ml overall is the right amount. But, if you want an instant plump of the lips and a fuller look, 1ml of lip filler is the best choice.
How Much Dermal Filler Do I Need For Lips? The amount of ml of dermal filler will influence the size difference before and after treatment. The most common treatment amount for thin lips lies between 0.5ml and 1ml. More than 1ml of dermal filler is possible, but this would create a much more dramatic look.
Most nasolabial folds will typically require two syringes to fully correct. One syringe of Juvederm is sometimes sufficient for mild nasolabial folds. For lip augmentation, one syringe will sculpt and enhance the lips. The change will be noticeable but subtle.
How much is in one syringe of filler? Most fillers come in a syringe with 1mL of product. That is approximately 1/5th of a teaspoon. A small amount of product can go a long way, but many times optimal results require more than one syringe to obtain.
We would not usually recommend less than 1ml for an initial lip filler appointment to achieve noticeable-yet-natural-looking results.
Facial fillers are a top treatment choice for eliminating jowls as they can be used to rebuild the structure of the face whilst rebooting the skin's natural supply of hyaluronic acid and smoothing the jawline.
Again, the amount of lip filler used is important for achieving your desired results. If you want noticeably plumper lips but don't want to go too far, a half syringe of filler may be enough. This will give you a more natural-looking and subtle result.
Fillers and Skin Tightening Treatments for Moderate Jowls
Expect to need approximately 4-8 syringes which are best done slowly and gradually over 2-4 appointments over 2-9 months. This is the base. Maintenance should be discussed with you (for most people is 1-2 times a year).
Volbella or Restylane Refyne are FDA approved hyaluronic acid fillers designed to treat the fine lines around the lips and other areas of the face. Because of the formulation, tiny lines can be completely smoothed out with no sign of any filler under the skin.
How Many Units of Botox for Smokers Lines? Generally, around 8-20 units of Botox are used to address smoker lines. Around 1-3 units of Botox is used per injection spot, which totals to generally around 15 units.
