WE ALL WANT PLUMP AND FULL LIPS TO HELP US FEEL YOUNG AND CONFIDENT.
BUT WHAT ARE LIP FILLERS AND HOW DO YOU GET THEM?
BELOW WE SHARE SOME FACTS ABOUT LIP FILLERS TO HELP YOU MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION.
What are lip fillers made of?
Lip fillers contain hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally occurring substance within the skin. It can also be found in many popular beauty skin products. The huge benefit of hyaluronic acid is its ability to attract water and to hydrate the skin. When hyaluronic acid is used in lip fillers it helps to make lips look full and plump.
What does the procedure involve?
Before any procedure you should have a full consultation. This will help to assess your suitability for the procedure. It’s also a chance for you to ask any questions.
The treatment will begin with the practitioner applying a numbing cream to your lips. This will make the entire process more comfortable. Once numb, a small needle is inserted into the lips, or around the lip line, and the hyaluronic acid is injected. Several injections are needed. This will plump up the lips.
Will there be any bleeding?
There will be very slight bleeding, but this will quickly stop.
Will the lip fillers hurt?
An anaesthetic cream is used, so although you will feel pressure, you should feel no pain. If you are particularly sensitive to pain, then sometimes a dental block can be given to make the procedure more comfortable.
Will there be any swelling?
There will be slight swelling following the procedure and this may last a week. To help reduce swelling, you can apply an ice pack. Arnica cream can also help to reduce any slight bruising.
Don’t be alarmed following the procedure if your lips look big, as once the swelling reduces they will be your chosen size.
How long do lip fillers last?
The majority of hyaluronic acid lip fillers will last around six months. In some circumstances they can last up to a year.
