At American Medical Center, we use Restylane® Silk—the first FDA-approved filler specifically designed to enhance lip shape and volume with natural-looking results.
Whether you’re experiencing thinning lips due to aging or simply want fuller, more defined lips, Restylane® Silk offers a soft, precise solution. It is also ideal for smoothing vertical lip lines (smoker’s lines) around the mouth for a rejuvenated appearance.
What Is Restylane® Silk?
Restylane® Silk is part of the Restylane® family of hyaluronic acid-based injectables, formulated with smaller, finer gel particles than traditional Restylane®. This allows for extreme precision and a natural, silky finish, especially in delicate areas like the lips.
Its ultra-smooth texture and use of a very fine needle allow for beautiful, subtle enhancement with minimal discomfort and minimal downtime.
Why Choose Restylane® Silk Over Other Lip Fillers?
| Feature | Restylane® Silk | JUVÉDERM® | BOTOX® Cosmetic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volume enhancement | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Precision for lips | ✅ High | ✅ Moderate | ❌ Not applicable |
| Treatment texture | Ultra-soft & sculptable | Smooth & disperses easily | N/A |
| FDA-approved for lips | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ Not for volume |
| Duration of results | 9–12+ months | 9–12 months | 3–4 months |
Restylane® Silk provides a balance between definition and soft volume—perfect for natural lip contouring. Unlike Botox® (which relaxes muscles), Restylane® Silk adds actual volume.
What Can Restylane® Silk Treat?
While it excels at lip enhancement, Restylane® Silk is also used for:
-
Vertical lip lines (smoker’s lines)

Filling perioral wrinkles

Enhancing the cupid’s bow

Bruising
These typically resolve within a few days.
