In trying times, people look for ways to take control and create small moments of happiness. During the Great Depression, women used lipstick to lift their spirits, resulting in it becoming one of the most purchased items of the time. This sharp sales increase was an international phenomenon, resulting in the term “lipstick effect”. During today’s global pandemic, women are turning to lip filler to achieve this same effect.
Phebe Wahl of the Philadelphia Style magazine discusses the latest trend with Dr. Devgan. “With more time at home and more awkward Zoom angles, there has been heightened interest in all aesthetic procedures.” says Dr. Devgan. In our COVID-19 world, working from home and wearing masks are beneficial, allowing patients to easily “cover any transient bruising or swelling”. This has become an ideal time for doing aesthetic enhancements, as well as recovering from them.
New product, Restylane Kysse, has been one of the most popular fillers to effectively transform lips. Restylane Kysse Lip Filler is a new and improved filler for functional and natural looking lips. In the article, Dr. Lara Devgan explains, “Restylane Kysse is similar to existing products, but offers a new paint in a plastic surgeon’s palette. One thing that differentiates Restylane Kysse is that it uses a unique XpresHAn cross-linking technology (not found in other lip fillers), allowing us to achieve natural structure and flexibility.” This innovation of filler has been “technology is designed for better tissue integration, resulting in more natural expression,” mentions Devgan. Through the use of Restylane Kysse, less products can be used for just about the same results.
