All You Need To Know
About Lip Fillers
Dermal fillers are an increasingly popular cosmetic treatment that can be used on several areas of the face to smooth out wrinkles while adding plumpness and volume to the skin. Lip injections are one of the most common uses for fillers today. As we age, our lips can appear thinner and develop vertical lines, making us look older than we are. Dermal lip fillers will smooth out these lines for a more even texture while adding volume to the area for a fuller-looking pout.
Whether you are looking for a slight enhancement or a full, sexy mouth, lip fillers may be the treatment for you! If you’re considering this procedure, keep reading to answer some of the questions you may have when it comes to lip fillers.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which is a gel-like substance that is naturally occurring in the body. Hyaluronic acid is produced by our bodies to help keep the skin flexible, plump, and hydrated. A medical professional injects this substance under the skin to sculpt the desired area, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles while adding volume to sagging skin. Dermal fillers are a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure.
Who Can Benefit From Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are for anyone looking to add natural-looking plumpness to their lips while smoothing out any vertical lines that are the result of aging. Lip fillers can also correct any asymmetries or turn up downward-facing lips for a more proportional, even look. If you don’t like the look of your lips and feel that a fuller, smoother mouth will improve your self-confidence, you can benefit from lip fillers.
Won’t Fillers Make My Lips Look Overdone?
No! You might associate lip fillers with some celebrities who have unfortunately overplumped their lips with injections. Try not to let this scare you. You can achieve a subtle, natural enhancement to your lips without an overly dramatic change. Lip fillers are fully customizable, so you can decide the amount of volume you want.
Is the Procedure Safe?
Because of their non-invasive nature, dermal lip fillers are a safe procedure. You may experience some swelling and soreness in the area after your treatment. Be sure to talk to your healthcare provider about any possible risks or side effects.
How Long Will the Procedure Take? Is It Painful?
Most lip filler injections only take around 15 minutes. The procedure is not painful! A topical numbing cream or a filler that contains a numbing agent may be used to minimize any discomfort.
When Will I See the Results? Are the Results Permanent?
You could see results immediately after treatment, although it may take up to a week to see the full effects. The results of lip fillers are not permanent. Depending on the individual, your results should last anywhere from 6 to 12 months.
The use of any dermal fillers, including lip fillers, should only be administered by a licensed, experienced medical professional. Don’t hesitate to book a consultation with the expert team at EverYoung Skin and Laser Clinic to answer any remaining questions you may have!
