EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LIP FILLERS

Lip fillers at Lucia Clinic, the most popular treatments - learn everything you want to know about these effective injectable treatments with minimal downtime.

Although lip augmentation procedure was once thought of as a novelty reserved only for those who are well-off, the advances in the cosmetic industry allowed for it to become readily available to anyone who seeks to improve the appearance of their lips. As a non-surgical, affordable, and highly effective procedure with minimal downtime and natural-looking results, it is no wonder lip fillers are considered one of the most popular beauty trends of this decade.

As with any aesthetic treatment, lip fillers are surrounded by myths and misconceptions that may make you hesitant to try this amazing procedure. Lip fillers are creating a lot of buzz on social media platforms and a lot of celebrities consider lip fillers as one of their favorite procedures. Especially if they get lip fillers at Lucia Clinic. Lucia Clinic’s doctors have an open and honest relationship with their clients and the first thing they do is have a thorough consultation. Every client has different aesthetic goals regarding their lips. Every client also has a different idea about perfect lips. And that’s crucial – Lucia Clinic’s doctors always advise their clients about how to achieve beautiful and natural-looking results with lip fillers. It’s all in the perfect balance of your lips and the rest of your face.

While considering to get lip fillers, you may ask yourself –

Will everybody notice? What if I get duck lips? How much lip filler do I need?

All these questions are totally legit. You can get all the answers and raise the veil of mystery once you meet Lucia Clinic doctors. Remember – their goal and mission is to make you happy with your lip filler treatment results.

WHAT ARE LIP FILLERS?

Lip fillers or lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure performed in order to give you plumper and fuller lips. Lip fillers are perfect for restoring or adding volume to your lips or improving their shape. There are different types of lip fillers on the market, but one of the best is definitely JUVEDERM lip fillers. Lucia Clinic’s doctors use these lip fillers because they are based on hyaluronic acid – a substance that is already present in your body. Juvederm lip fillers are of the highest quality and they are specifically designed to deliver you the best results – natural-looking and beautifully enhanced lips.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HYALURONIC ACID FILLERS?

Hyaluronic acid lip fillers are well-known for their unique ability to improve the appearance of your lips. Namely, once injected, they will add volume, structure, and shape to your lips, making them look plump and smooth. Hyaluronic acid is also very effective in softening the fine lines that can appear around the lips, and it can be used for volumizing the upper, lower, or both lips. The advantages of opting for this type of lip filler are numerous. To begin with, using hyaluronic acid gives you greater control over the volume of your lips since only a certain amount of the substance is injected at a time. What’s more, the treatment is gradual, meaning that you may receive several injections until you are satisfied with the result. Also, bruising and swelling are reduced, and the possibility of having an allergic reaction is highly unlikely. Moreover, the very nature of the substance allows for any bumps and lumps to be dissolved fairly quickly. However, probably the greatest benefit of hyaluronic acid lip fillers is the fact that even though the results are not permanent, they are reasonably long-lasting – typical HA fillers need to be redone every six to nine months.

WHAT DO LIP FILLERS TARGET?

As your skin gets older it loses its volume because of the reduced production of elastin fibers, collagen and hyaluronic acid that support it and make it strong.

Lip fillers reduce these signs of aging and restore the youthfulness of your lips. But lip fillers can also help you enhance thin lips or improve their symmetry. So, as you can see, lip fillers are super versatile.

For example, lip fillers can improve your lip body by adding more volume to it. Your lips get more enhanced and look hydrated and plump. With a subtle enhancement, lip fillers can make your lips significantly more beautiful. They will still look natural and in balance with the rest of your facial features.

Lip fillers are also very effective in enhancing the cupid bow or the V-shaped contour in your upper lip center. This way your upper lip is shaped better or if it’s thin it can get more contoured.

One of the most popular uses of lip fillers is definitely boosting thin lips. If you are bothered with thin lips, lip fillers will make your lips fuller and more voluminous. But they will still keep your lips looking natural. Now this is where you avoid looking overly-done or ending up with duck lips. Lucia Clinic’s doctors will inject just the right amount of fillers into your lips to make them better shaped, luscious and plump. The artistic eye and skilled hands of Lucia Clinic’s doctors will make your lips just perfect.

WHAT DOES THE PROCEDURE LOOK LIKE?

At the very beginning, you should have an extensive consultation with your doctor to determine the exact area you wish to be injected and the amount of substance or the number of treatments you will need to achieve the desired results. Then, the doctor will mark the desired areas and, if needed, apply a topical or local numbing agent which enables the procedure to be painless, apart from a slight pinching sensation. Once your mouth feels numb, the doctor will use needles to inject hyaluronic acid into the soft tissue of your lips. The whole procedure takes around 15 to 20 minutes. After lip fillers are injected, you will receive either a massage or ice applied to the treated area to ease the discomfort, prevent swelling, and avoid forming bumps and lumps.

You will see the results instantly – your lips will look smooth, full and nicely contoured. JUVEDERM lips fillers make your lips youthful and natural-looking because they contain ingredients that keep the natural feel and movement of your lips. Once Lucia Clinic’s doctors inject fillers into your lips, hyaluronic acid instantly bonds with water in your lips and enhances and smooths out your lips.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER THE PROCEDURE?

As we said, you will be able to notice the results immediately after the lip fillers are injected and the procedure is over. A certain degree of swelling will be visible for the first day or two, but the numbness you might feel in your lips will wear off in just 15 short minutes, which means you can go back to your usual everyday activities as soon as you leave your doctor’s office. To get the best results, you need to stay hydrated and avoid getting a face massage or a facial on the same day. You should also avoid strenuous exercises and heated environments, due to the increased blood flow. In addition, do not take vitamin E, fish oil or painkillers which are known to thin the blood and thinner blood increases the possibility of bleeding and bruising. Moreover, avoid putting any kind of firm pressure on the treated area and refrain from using lip balms or lipsticks right after the procedure.

HOW TO MAINTAIN LIP FILLERS?

Since lip fillers are not permanent, their effect may last anywhere from three months to a year, so the exact time to schedule a touch-up treatment is different for every patient. The longevity is affected by the type of lip filler used, your age, and your lifestyle. For example, the filler tends to dissolve faster when a patient has a more physically active lifestyle, as opposed to those patients whose lifestyle would be best described as sedentary.

CAN THEY BE REMOVED?

If you dislike your lip fillers to such an extent that you want the effect to be reversed immediately, the good news is that it is possible to do so. Your doctor will inject into your lips another substance that can break down the filler within five minutes.

CONCLUSION

We hope that this guide has helped you understand lip fillers better. Apart from being one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, lip fillers are also safe, long-lasting, and fully customizable. They have numerous benefits – one of the most important is that they are precisely injected into your targeted area. This is the key of beautiful and natural-looking results of your lip filler treatment. Lip fillers are minimally invasive and don’t require any downtime. This makes them perfect for your busy lifestyle. With Lucia Clinic’s doctors by your side, your lip filler treatment will be an amazing journey.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE GETTING DERMAL FILLERS

Dermal Fillers, injectables for keeping the skin youthful - find out about these effective anti-aging treatments that smooth, plump and rejuvenate your skin.

Dermal fillers are a super popular aesthetic procedure because they treat visible signs of aging in a minimally invasive way. Why is this important to you? Because the time when you could reverse aging signs just with surgery is over. With Dermal fillers, you have the possibility to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and restore the volume of different facial areas in just one treatment session and without significant downtime. Plus, you can enhance facial features, improve asymmetry or make your lips fuller and plumper.

Dermal fillers are a versatile treatment that can fulfill different aesthetic goals. But, first, you need to find a great doctor who will create a bespoke Dermal filler treatment plan just for you. And you will definitely meet excellent and skilled doctors at Lucia Clinic. In their hands, your Dermal filler treatment journey toward a youthful, refreshed and more appealing appearance will be safe, smooth, and exciting.

WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS?

Dermal filler is a gel-like substance that comes in the form of injectables and is typically made of hyaluronic acid. This powerful acid which adds volume to our skin is naturally found in our bodies, but its production slows down as we age. Dermal fillers are used to smooth wrinkles and deep-set lines, as well as to restore volume to certain areas of your face, such as around the eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, and jawline. Once injected, hyaluronic acid binds with water and keeps the skin and surrounding tissues hydrated and moisturized, thus adding volume to the entire area and improving its overall appearance. Due to their ability to restore lost volume and provide a plumper and more youthful appearance, dermal fillers were first used to combat aging signs.

For this reason, hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers are the most common types to be found on the market and even though there are different brands and lines of fillers available, Juvederm is one of the most popular. This Dermal filler brings you superior results in reversing aging signs. Also, the results are natural-looking which is essential when having this treatment. At Lucia Clinic, you can get different Juvederm dermal fillers according to your skin concerns. For example, JUVÉDERM VOLITE™ is great for hydrating your skin and increasing its elasticity. It also smooths out your skin by triggering collagen production.

RESTYLANE dermal filler is another high-quality Dermal filler that effectively reduces fine lines and wrinkles and enhances your facial features. It also nourishes your skin and keeps it hydrated. Another great benefit of this Dermal filler is the reduction of acne scars and deep folds. It really makes your face more youthful and refreshed.

ELLANSE is an advanced biostimulating dermal filler that activates the production of collagen and improves the signs of aging. It can significantly improve the underlying structure of your skin and make it youthful and plump again. The best thing about this Dermal filler is that it provides you with long-lasting results – up to 4 years.

RADIESSE is another advanced biostimulating dermal filler that is perfect for restoring volume in your facial areas. It makes the targeted areas smooth and plump. With this Dermal filler, you can reduce wrinkles and fine lines and mildly lift your skin – that’s all thanks to boosted collagen. The results are also long-lasting because the newly built collagen can keep your skin nicely structured for up to 2 years.

WHICH AREAS CAN BE TREATED?

Apart from using dermal fillers to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, they can also be used to increase volume, change shape, or improve the appearance and symmetry of other parts of your face. Dermal fillers can be injected into the jawline or chin area to enhance them and provide more definition. They can also be used to lift and accentuate the cheeks and reduce the crow’s feet around the eyes.

Dermal fillers are especially effective in restoring volume in tear troughs or under the eye area. These areas are very delicate and can show aging signs very soon. Thin skin and dark circles can make you look tired and older than you are. With Dermal fillers, you can easily improve the overall appearance of these areas by making them plumper and smoother again.

Moreover, Dermal fillers are often used to reshape and plump the lips. In lip filler treatment, your Lucia Clinic doctor injects the filler into the soft tissue of your lips to make them fuller and better contoured. With lip fillers you can rejuvenate your lips, make them more symmetrical or increase their volume. It’s important to trust your doctor here and follow the recommendations because you don’t want to end up having overly-done lips. You should aim for natural-looking results and get just enough of Dermal fillers that will perfectly balance your entire face.

Cheeks are another facial areas that easily lose volume and elasticity. The skin starts to sag because of gravity and loss of underlying structure. Dermal fillers immediately make your cheeks more enhanced and lifted and create a better-sculpted appearance of your face.

If you are bothered by small irregularities on your nose, you can easily solve them with nose fillers. This treatment, known as liquid rhinoplasty, can enhance your nose without the need for surgery. Skilled Lucia Clinic doctors perform this procedure to improve your nose asymmetry, reduce small bumps or correct nasal tips – all without significant side effects or downtime.

One body area that is often neglected is your hands. The skin on top of your hands is delicate and can soon start to show aging signs. Dermal fillers can easily correct this by adding volume to your hands and making the skin in this area smoother and softer.

Dermal fillers can also help you get the chin or jaw of your dreams. They can fill chin dimples and creases or make your jawline nicely sculpted and more harmonious with the rest of your face.

The type of dermal filler that will be used, and the depth at which it will be injected, depends on your individual needs and the result you want to achieve. Firm dermal fillers injected deeper into the tissue are used for reshaping and adding volume, medium-firm fillers injected at medium depth are ideal for getting rid of deep lines and creases, while soft fillers which are injected into the top layer of the skin can smooth unwanted wrinkles and plump the skin.

WHEN CAN YOU EXPECT TO SEE THE RESULTS?

With hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, the results are immediate and the effect can be seen right away. However, they need some time to settle into place and start binding with water fully, so it can sometimes take a few weeks for you to see the full effect. In case you are not satisfied with the result, dermal fillers can be easily broken down with hyaluronidase, a substance that enables the body to dissolve and metabolize them at a great speed.

HOW LONG DO DERMAL FILLERS LAST?

There are various factors that affect the amount of time dermal fillers may last. Besides the type of dermal filler used, the speed at which the body metabolizes the filler is individual. In addition, fillers can last longer if they are injected into an area that is not moved around a lot, such as the cheek area. Even though dermal fillers are usually temporary and last around a year, there are several things you can do to make them last longer. First of all, you should avoid extensive sun exposure, since sun damage increases the speed at which dermal filler breaks down. Furthermore, use topical products that contain hyaluronic acid as well as products and supplements that will help you keep your skin healthy and hydrated. Also, getting enough sleep and making sure you eat healthily and drink plenty of water will significantly improve the appearance of your skin.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

Although dermal fillers are usually well-tolerated, there are some mild to moderate side effects that can appear after the treatment, but rarely last longer than a couple of days. The most common side effects might include temporary redness and tenderness of the skin, mild bruising and swelling of the treated area, or the development of small nodules and bumps under the skin. Also, the treatment is painless and causes minimal discomfort, which makes it possible for you to resume your regular routine immediately.

Dermal fillers are the perfect choice for anyone looking to reduce the signs of aging, minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and creases, tackle the loss of volume and elasticity, as well as reshape certain areas of the face. They bring you instant and gradual results without much discomfort or downtime. Dermal fillers can improve your self-esteem and help you feel good in your skin.

For your Dermal filler treatment, schedule a consultation with doctors at Lucia Clinic.
