What Are Thinning Lips?
Thinning lips are a common concern that can make you self-conscious about your appearance. As we age, collagen production in the skin decreases, reducing the volume and definition of the lips. Other factors like smoking, sun exposure, and genetics can also contribute to thinning lips.
At IWH Medspa in Ventura, CA, we specialize in non-surgical treatments designed to restore volume, shape, and hydration to your lips, helping you achieve the fuller, more youthful appearance you desire.
Treatment Options for Thinning Lips at IWH Medspa
We offer a variety of practical and non-invasive treatments to restore lip volume and enhance your natural lip shape. Here’s how we can help you achieve a beautiful, rejuvenated smile:
Dermal Fillers for Lip Augmentation
Using hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers such as Juvéderm® and Restylane®, we can add volume to thinning lips, enhance their contour, and smooth fine lines around the mouth. These fillers provide instant results and a natural-looking fullness.

Botox® or Dysport® (Lip Flip)
A lip flip using Botox® or Dysport® relaxes the muscles around the lips, allowing the upper lip to gently roll outward for a fuller, more defined look. This treatment is perfect for those who want a subtle enhancement without using fillers.
