A person’s skin loses definition and natural elasticity during the aging process due to reduced collagen levels. As a result, wrinkles and fine lines appear on the face, which produces a tired and aged appearance.

Like the face, the lips are affected by aging as well as other factors like heredity and lifestyle habits. Lost volume results in thin or wrinkled lips which becomes a common concern for many people.

Lip filler is a non-surgical lip procedure that creates and restores volume to achieve fuller lips and remove fine lines around the mouth.

Lip injections uses fillers made with hyaluronic acids and here at AesthetIQ Med Spa, we inject with Restylane and RHA to achieve the best results. During your consultation with our expert providers, the best lip filler for your specific goals will be discussed.

What are the benefits of lip fillers?

Lip fillers can help you achieve fuller lips and eliminate any fine lines or wrinkles around the mouth. By injecting precise amounts of formulations containing hyaluronic acid into the lip area, the enhancement procedure can create or restore volume, as well as shape, define, and add moisture to dry lips.

Hyaluronic acid is produced naturally in the body, however, the aging process causes the depletion of this substance which gives way to the formation of facial wrinkles and fine lines.

Among the benefits of lip fillers is that they work to sustain and reshape the soft tissue that forms the lips.

What happens during your lip filler treatment?

Lip fillers are usually thirty-minute procedures. All lip injections are performed by injection specialists such as; Medical Doctors, registered practitioners, nurses or certified physician assistants using injectable fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm.

Its side effects are minor but can include slight bruising, swelling, itching, tenderness, discoloration, redness, and pain around the lips during the first 24 to 72 hours. Makeup can conceal the mild bruising, and most people can immediately return to work or resume their normal day after the treatment.

Results are generally quick, and to ensure the recovery process goes smoothly, don’t get a facial or massage your lips.

Although complications related to dermal fillers seldom occur, you also need to talk with your doctor regarding potential risks. The swelling can cause a slight lumpiness of the lips, but once it has subsided, the outcome is noticeable. Notify your doctor if any enlarged bump, increased inflammation, or acute pain occurs.
