As we age, fine lines start to appear on our lips, they become thinner and the colour along with the lip-line starts to fade.
This is because we lose hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin.
Hyaluronic based dermal fillers are also used for lip enhancement, helping to define, correct or enhance lip volume. Dermal filler in the lips can also help to soften lip lines with the added benefits of the hyaluronic acid which attracts and retains moisture in the lips.
Dermal filler is injected into the lips to define the lip borders and/or create a fuller, plumped-out effect. We can inject as much or as little filler as the patient requires to give a subtle or more dramatic result.
Shriya will inject small quantities of filler into the border of the lips or body of the lip depending on the desired effect. The process can be uncomfortable and topical local anaesthetic will be applied to reduce any pain experienced. It should take approximately 30 minutes and the effects are instant.
Swelling and redness are common side effects, but such complaints are very temporary and should subside shortly after the procedure.
In your initial consultation Shriya will determine how much filler (mls) and which filler product will be needed to achieve your desired results. Once this has been established you should be able to have the procedure in a single session.
Lip borders can be defined and the shape and size of the lips can be enhanced either subtly or dramatically depending on the result the client desires.
This treatment is also ideal for reducing lines and creases around the mouth area (including ‘smoker’s lines’). Results last approximately 9 months.
