dermal fillers lips

May 18, 2018 by Timeless Cosmetics & filed under News.

Having luscious lips shouldn’t just be a Valentine’s Day treat. Your lips are one of the most standout features of your face, so it’s important that you feel happy and confident with them. Lips come in different shapes and sizes. However, some people choose to enhance their lips or rejuvenate them, as a way to boost their self-confidence. This is where dermal fillers come in! Dermal fillers are used on the lips to give them a softer, fuller look.

 

What are dermal fillers and how do they work?

Dermal fillers are made from a naturally occurring complex sugar that attracts and binds water to the skin. As we age, our bodies lose their firmness, volume, and elasticity. This is because we lose collagen and elastin. Without these two proteins, our body slowly begins to break down and the typical signs of aging such as wrinkles and hollow eyes, start to occur.

Dermal fillers naturally replace the body’s lack of collagen and elastin to add volume to the skin and increase the skin’s elasticity and firmness.

 

How can dermal fillers enhance my lips?

Dermal fillers can enhance your lips by:

  • Restoring or adding fullness to the lips, especially if you have thinner lips.
  • Smoothening away wrinkles and any folds around your lips to give them an extra pop!
  • Correcting your lips’ symmetry and creating a stronger cupid’s bow.
  • Sculpting your lips by adding a touch of volume in the lip border. Say goodbye to lipstick bleed!
  • Giving structure to the corners of your mouth, creating a natural, upward turn.

 

Will dermal fillers make my lips look fake?

We understand some of the more extreme styles of lip enhancements aren’t for everyone. At Timeless Cosmetics, we’re all about enhancing your natural features, and rejuvenating your lips for a plumper, natural, and radiant look.

We are committed to helping you look and feel your best, no matter what your desired results may be.

 

How will my lips feel after I have the procedure and how long do the results last?

At Timeless Cosmetics, the procedure usually takes 15-30 minutes. The results are immediate. This means you can leave our clinic with your refreshed and luscious lips!

There may be some small amounts of swelling and bruising from the injection needles, but this can easily be masked with makeup. Any swelling and bruising usually disappears within a couple of hours or after a few days.

The results usually last for six to twelve months depending on the type of filler you have and depth injected.

 

Can I combine the fillers with other facial rejuvenation procedures?

Yes, you can! You can combine dermal fillers with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as wrinkle relaxers, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. Wrinkle relaxers can help relax and smoothen any wrinkles around your mouth and lips such as marionette lines. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion treatments remove dead skin and aid the regeneration of new skin to give your skin a fresher and younger look.

 

How do I look after my lips?

Looking after your lips is very important. We recommend wearing a good moisturising lip balm with SPF. This keeps your lips looking fresh and feeling moisturised, while protecting them from sun damage.
