Revitalize Your Smile: The Rising Popularity of Lip Line Injections
Lip lines have a way of sneaking up on you. One day, you notice them for the first time. And after that, you can’t unsee them. These are the small vertical creases that show up around your mouth from years of smiling and talking.
At Biomend Aesthetics and Wellness in Littleton, Colorado, we use dermal fillers to smooth out your lip lines and restore the fullness you’ve suddenly noticed is gone.
What Exactly Are Lip Line Injections?
With lip-line injections, dermal filler is used to plump up the skin around your mouth. The filler is injected into the small creases that concern you, smoothing them out from beneath the surface. A numbing agent will be applied first. Most patients report feeling a slight pinch, and the entire process lasts only 15 to 30 minutes.
Is Lip Line Filler a Good Fit for Me?
If you have fine wrinkles that are fanning out from your lips, you may find that lip line filler is what you’re looking for. These lines tend to show up over time as your skin naturally loses volume. People who have spent a lot of time in the sun during their lifetime usually start noticing them sooner.
How Long Does Lip Filler Last Around Your Mouth?
For most people, lip line fillers usually last anywhere from nine to eighteen months. It depends a lot on the type of filler you use. And also how your body naturally breaks it down. Biomend Aesthetics and Wellness carries several filler brands—products like Juvederm, Revanesse Lips, and Belotero. We can match you with the right product for your skin.
What Happens at a Lip Line Filler Appointment?
First, the team will clean the area around your lips and apply a numbing agent to ensure you feel no discomfort. Then the filler is placed with a small needle, also called a cannula. It goes right where those creases are the deepest. Most people feel a little pressure, but no pain. You can return to your regular activities immediately afterward, with no downtime.
What Issues Can Lip Line Injections Actually Fix?
A lot of people are surprised by just how many issues can be resolved with lip line fillers.
- Smoker’s lines
- Thinning skin that causes volume loss
- Lines where lip color feathers outside the border
- Uneven texture
How Much Downtime Is There After Lip Filler Treatment?
Almost none. You may see some swelling and even some slight bruising around the injection site for a day or two. Most people don’t even take time off work. Plan to skip the gym and avoid super hot showers for about 24 hours afterward. This will allow your filler to settle in.
