What is Lip Filler?
Lip fillers add volume to thin lips, smooth fine lines or wrinkles, and define the lips without surgical techniques like lip flips or lip implants. These fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin that binds with water to create fullness and hydration. Lip fillers can also correct asymmetry, define lip shape, or smooth vertical lip lines. At Skyn Elegant Aesthetics, we offer various dermal filler options to ensure your treatment is tailored to your goals, including:
Candidates for Lip Filler
Ideal candidates for lip injections are individuals who desire enhanced lip volume or improved lip definition. Generally, those with good health and realistic expectations are the most satisfied with lip enhancements.
What Our Patients Are Saying
Lip Filler Treatment
The lip filler procedure takes less than 30 minutes; our team will carefully assess your lips and inject the chosen filler into target areas for optimal results. It is normal to feel a slight pressure or pinch at the injection site, but the procedure is relatively comfortable. Before injecting the fillers, we will mark the areas of focus to ensure the results enhance your unique and natural features.
Lip Filler Recovery and Aftercare
After your lip filler treatment, there is minimal downtime, but you may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or redness around the injection sites. It’s recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity and excessive heat for the first 24 hours following the treatment. Additionally, you should avoid using lip balm or massaging your lips to prevent disrupting the filler.
Lip Filler Results
There may be slight swelling and redness hindering results immediately following the procedure, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours. You’ll notice fuller, more defined lips as soon as the swelling subsides. The results are natural-looking, as the filler is designed to enhance your lips without creating an artificial appearance. Over time, the filler will gradually break down, and you’ll need touch-up treatments to maintain your desired look. Depending on the type of filler used, results can last anywhere from six months to over a year, allowing you to enjoy your plumper, fuller lips for an extended period.
