Refresh your appearance with minimal downtime
Botox® and other injectable treatments known as “fillers” work to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fill in spaces where the face has lost volume. These treatments are popular because they’re a safe, effective, relatively inexpensive and minimally invasive way to combat signs of aging. This means a quicker visit to your dermatologist or surgeon and less downtime after the procedure compared to an option like a facelift. However, it’s important to note that the results are temporary, requiring routine upkeep to maintain the smoothing, rejuvenating effects.
Key Benefits of Botox & Fillers
- Reduce the Appearance of Wrinkles
Relax fine lines and wrinkles non-surgically with neuromodulators. - Replace Lost Volume
Enhance and restore lost volume to cheeks and temples and improve jawline with fillers. - Enhance Facial Features
Plump your lips, enhance your chin, or define your nose with strategic filler placement.
Persana Tip
Historically, it was believed that hyaluronic acid fillers—known as HA fillers—lasted for a short period, typically less than one year. However, recent studies and clinical experiences have demonstrated that these fillers can persist for many years. This means that repeat injections may not be necessary and could potentially lead to undesirable aesthetic outcomes, like an “overfilled” appearance. Be careful only to repeat them when they’re really needed.
Permanently enhance the shape and volume of your lips
A lip lift is a surgical procedure performed to improve lip aesthetics by shortening the upper lip and giving the area a plumper and more youthful appearance. The procedure involves removing a small strip of skin from the area between the nose and the upper lip in order to reduce the vertical length between the two, which can bring the dimensions of the upper and lower lips into better proportion. The reduction of skin also increases the amount of pink lip tissue that’s visible, making the lips look fuller and more pronounced. The surgical scar typically becomes imperceptible, hidden at the base of the nose.
In short, a lip lift surgery helps to improve lip shape and aesthetics without the need for fillers and with longer-lasting results. The procedure is suitable for younger patients with a long upper lip and for older individuals experiencing significant signs of aging around the lips and mouth.
Key Benefits of a Lip Lift

Have a single surgery that avoids the repeated need for fillers. - Improve Facial Proportions
Aesthetically enhance your lower face by shortening the length between your nose and upper lip.
Persana Tip
While both lip lifts and fillers enhance lip aesthetics, they achieve different outcomes. Fillers temporarily boost lip volume and shape but require regular maintenance and do not alter the upper lip's length, which is crucial for facial aesthetics. On the other hand, lifted lips improve lip projection and volume but are more permanent, so patients must be confident about the outcomes they desire.
