Everything you need to know about lip injections
Patients with thin or uneven lips might think surgical lip implants are the only way to get a new look. Fortunately, there are non-invasive alternatives, such as fillers for lips. A few types of lip injections are available, but our team at BIOMEND Aesthetics and Wellness often recommends hyaluronic acid injections to get the desired results. Let’s look at everything you need to know about lip injections for non-surgical lip augmentation in Littleton, Colorado.
What exactly are lip fillers?
Lip fillers are injectable gels made from substances like hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in your body. They enhance the shape, size, and volume of your lips, giving them that plump, luscious look many of our patients at BIOMEND Aesthetics and Wellness try to achieve.
Does getting lip fillers hurt?
The good news is that most fillers contain a numbing agent to help make the process as comfortable as possible. You might feel a tiny pinch or mild pressure, but it is typically quick and manageable. Our providers know how to administer injections to reduce any discomfort that you might experience.
How long do lip fillers last?
Lip fillers are not forever, which can be a good thing if you like staying flexible with your look. They usually last anywhere from six months to a year, depending on the type of filler used and your metabolism. Your body will naturally break down the filler over time, so continued injections are needed to maintain the look you have achieved.
Will my lips look natural?
Absolutely! Our skilled professionals will work with you to achieve your desired look while keeping it natural. You can go for subtle enhancements or full pouty lips. Either way, the goal is to enhance your lip appearance, not overdo it. Lip augmentation should be done by a skilled aesthetician to ensure a natural finished result!
Is there downtime after getting lip fillers?
There is little downtime and recovery after getting lip injections. Though you might experience some mild swelling, redness, or minor bruising for a day or two, most of our patients at BIOMEND Aesthetics and Wellness are back to their daily routines immediately. Ice packs and avoiding strenuous activities can help with any swelling that makes you self-conscious or uncomfortable.
Can I try fillers just once?
Of course! Lip fillers are a commitment-free way to experiment with your lip shape. Since they dissolve over time, you can continue, pause, or stop getting them whenever you want. Also, because most of them are made from hyaluronic acid, injections can be done to reverse the effects if you are unhappy with your results.
