Lip Filling

Good candidates are individuals looking to enhance their lip volume and shape, who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture. When used in lip fillers, it helps to add volume, smooth lines, and improve hydration.

The procedure typically involves a consultation with a specialist, followed by the application of a numbing cream to minimize discomfort. The hyaluronic acid is then injected into the lips using fine needles.

The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour, including the consultation and preparation time.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort due to the use of numbing cream. Some may feel a slight pinch or pressure during the injections.

The effects of hyaluronic acid lip fillers generally last between six to twelve months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.

Common side effects include swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site, which typically subside within a few days. More serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions or infection.

8. What should I do before the treatment?
Before the treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E, to reduce the risk of bruising. Inform your specialist of any medical conditions or allergies.

You may experience some swelling and bruising immediately after the treatment, which should resolve within a few days. It’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat exposure, and alcohol for at least 24 hours after the procedure.

It’s best to avoid applying makeup on the treated area for at least 24 hours to reduce the risk of infection.

To maintain the results, follow a good skincare routine, stay hydrated, and consider scheduling touch-up treatments as recommended by your specialist.
