All You Need To Know About Lip Filler

Lip Filler Experts At DNA Aesthetics Clinic In SE London

Full, luscious lips are often sought after. While some are blessed with naturally plump pouts, others may seek a little extra help to achieve the perfect lip shape and volume they desire. At DNA Aesthetics Clinic in Canada Water, we can help you to achieve the perfect pout with lip filler administered by our highly qualified aestheticians.

But, what exactly are lip fillers, and how do they work? Our expert team delve into the world of lip fillers, exploring everything you need to know about this transformative cosmetic treatment.

What are Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers, also known as lip injections or lip augmentation, are cosmetic procedures that involve injecting a dermal filler substance into the lips to add volume, shape, and definition. The most common filler substances used for lip augmentation are hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which are naturally occurring substances found in the body that help hydrate and plump the skin. At DNA Aesthetics Clinic in South East London, we use just that! Hyaluronic acid fillers are safe, biocompatible, and provide natural-looking results that can last for several months before gradually breaking down and being absorbed by the body.

How Lip Filler Works

The lip filler procedure is relatively quick and straightforward, typically taking around 15-30 minutes to complete. Before the procedure begins, a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimise discomfort during the injections. Once the lips are numb, the filler substance will be injected into specific areas of the lips using a fine needle or cannula. Your injector will work with you to achieve your desired lip shape and volume, taking into account factors such as lip symmetry, facial proportions, and personal preferences. After the injections are complete, you may experience some minor swelling, bruising, or redness, but these side effects typically subside within a few days.

Lip Filler Results & Aftercare

The results of lip filler treatments are immediate, with noticeable improvements in lip volume and shape visible right away. However, it's important to note that initial swelling and bruising may temporarily obscure the final results, so it may take a few days for the full effects to become apparent. Lip fillers typically last for 6-12 months, depending on factors such as the type of filler used, the amount injected, and individual metabolism. To maintain your results, you may need periodic touch-up treatments every 6-12 months.

What To Consider When It Comes To Lip Filler

While lip fillers are generally considered safe and well-tolerated, like any cosmetic procedure, they do carry some potential risks and considerations. Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days.

In rare cases, more serious complications such as infection, allergic reaction, or lip asymmetry may occur. To minimise the risk of complications, it's essential to choose a qualified, experienced injector, such as those we have at DNA Aesthetics Clinic, who follows strict safety protocols and uses high-quality, FDA-approved filler products. During your initial consultation, be sure to communicate your goals, concerns, and expectations openly and honestly, and ask any questions you may have about the procedure.
