Cosmetic Treatment
Lip Injections
Over time and as we age, it is natural to lose volume in the lips. But with the help of lip injections and lip augmentation, patients can enjoy a more youthful pout again. This procedure can enhance the volume of the lips, for a full but natural look. Clinica Lase uses medically safe and cost-effective lip enhancement and lip augmentation procedures for the best results.
What Will Happen Before Procedure?
Patients are required to fill out a consultation form before lip injections treatment begins. This will involve answering a series of questions, such as any medical conditions you have or any previous treatments completed. In addition, patients will talk with a doctor and cosmetic nurse. This discussion will make sure that lip fillers are the right treatment for the patient and you can ask any questions that you have. A tailored treatment plan will be created for the best results.
What Happens During the Lip Filler Procedure?
At Clinica Lase, the lip filler procedure is quick and simple. Patients can expect a fine needle to be used, which will inject the dermal filler into the lips. This treatment is suitable for the lower and upper lips. There is minimal discomfort associated with lip fillers. This is because a numbing cream is applied beforehand, which means the injections are pain-free. A professional will then proceed to massage the lips gently. This makes sure that the product is evenly distributed to enhance the volume of the lips.
What Can I Expect After?
Some swelling and redness around the injection site is normal after having lip fillers. Patients should not worry if it feels tender and this should not last long. But if you do have prolonged discomfort after the procedure, be sure to contact Clinica Lase right away. A cold compress can help to relief any discomfort in the meantime. Patients can take paracetamol if they are experiencing a headache after lip fillers.
To encourage the best results from lip fillers, patients are advised to exaggerate facial movements. This can help to work the product into the muscles. Of course, this does not mean that if you do not do this, your treatment will be affected.
After having lip fillers, it is recommended not to apply any products that contain retinoids, AHAs or BHAs. In addition, any facial treatments should be avoided for around 48 hours, as well as facial massages.
Patients can wear mineral makeup after having lip fillers. This can be applied in the 48 hours after having this procedure. Just be sure to wash any sponges or brushes thoroughly to ensure there is no risk of infection.
Is There Any Downtime Associated With Lip Injections?
The great thing about lip fillers is that there is no downtime. This means that patients can leave the clinic as soon as they are ready and return to their daily routine without any disruption. There is no time off work required and often lip fillers are called a lunchtime treatment because patients will return right back to the office afterwards.
