Yes — you can lift the look of the lower face without going under the knife. AngelLift® DermaStrips are FDA-registered, patented strips worn between the lips and gums for 30 minutes a day, and an independent clinical study found statistically significant improvements in the appearance of wrinkles around the mouth from baseline at Day 30 post-treatment. Here's how that compares to a surgical lower facelift and injectable fillers.
The lower face reveals telling signs of aging as we get older. We lose volume around the mouth, lips and chin. We lose definition on our jawlines and jowling occurs. Additionally, our mouths look more sunken in and our lips lose support as our gums recede, an inevitable occurrence. What can be done about these signs of lower face aging? Are we powerless to stop them? Well, we can’t stop the hands of time, but we can use modern technology to make them look like they’ve stopped.
Plastic surgery is the first option, though it’s not for most. A lower facelift costs thousands of dollars, requires extensive downtime and can lead to complications and undesirable results. Plus the pain!
The second option is getting fillers like Bellafill, Juvederm, Restylane and Voluma injected into your face and lips. These fillers replace lost volume and fill in lines. However, there are drawbacks to filler injections. Most need to be repeatedly injected, usually twice a year at the cost of thousands of dollars (a 1cc syringe, depending on the filler used, costs anywhere from $500 to over a $1000 each, with most patients needing at least two).

AngelLift DermaStrips remain the most feasible and affordable option to fight the look of lower face aging. These surgical grade flexible resin strips are worn between the lips and gums to replace the pressure lost from your gums receding. This counteracts the look of volume loss and helps smooth the appearance of wrinkles around the mouth and lips, including laugh lines, marionette lines and vertical smoker lines. Not only do they improve the appearance of wrinkles, they add natural-looking lip volume. When worn as directed—30 minutes a day—AngelLift DermaStrips deliver visible results within 30 days, giving women concerned with aging a natural, noninvasive method of addressing the signs of lower facial aging. They come in four strengths, from Original to Professional; if you're not sure where to start, take the 30-second strength quiz.
