DON’T JUST ROLL—PAT!
Renowned dermatologist and Hollywood favorite Dr. Macrene Alexiades is the genius (literally a genius, she has three degrees from Harvard University) behind the High Performance Anti-Aging And Filler Lip Treatment. The idea came after she noticed that the lip area is often neglected and resistant to in-office procedures. Thankfully for all of us, she developed a cocktail of over 20 actives, volumizing hyaluronic acid, and peptides to target wrinkles, plump, and nourish lips.
Overexcited at the prospect of finally having a voluptuous pout of my own I rolled the travel-size roller all over my lips without reading the application notes my colleague had provided. She had included one critical step that I completely glazed over: Shake before using. Apply treatment and pat into lips. I did not pat. Although this step might seem minimal, it completely changed the effect of the treatment once I adopted the technique. Patting allowed the serum to sink deep into the smallest lip lines and really maximized the plumping effect. So pat, pat, pat!
MAYBE SHE’S BORN WITH IT
"While injectable filler does work when done discreetly, oftentimes it does not look natural,” explains Dr. Macrene. "[So] I created a daily topical treatment that fills and rejuvenates the lips gradually and naturally." Although using fillers to plump your pout has become as mainstream as teeth whitening (thanks Kylie), the Elise-effect continues to be an unfortunate trend today. So although it sounds unnatural to offer up natural-looking as a standard for a pout well done, in the age of the lip job it’s my priority. If you share my fear for trout pout and are considering trying Dr. Macrene for yourself, I have three words for you: Do. It. Now. After a week I felt a boost in the shape of my lips and, with a steady regimen, they continue to maintain their fullness two months later. And yes, they look entirely natural.
