During this season of love, everyone deserves the confidence of perfect, puckering lips! As we age, our bodies begin to naturally lose collagen, which can lead to volume loss in areas such as cheeks, jawline, neck, and lips. One solution for kiss-ready lips is dermal fillers, which temporarily add volume to specific areas of the face. With minimal downtime, dermal fillers are a quick and easy treatment option for a plumper, fuller smile.
What is JUVÉDERM lip filler?
Dermal fillers, like JUVÉDERM, are designed to not only volumize and enhance facial structure, but also soften wrinkles and improve the appearance of certain features. JUVÉDERM’s lip filler is made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally producing substance in the body that helps skin retain water and keep it hydrated and plump. JUVÉDERM can be administered gradually to achieve the pucker you envision!
Benefits of JUVÉDERM Lip Filler
Besides producing more kissable lips this Valentine’s Day, dermal lip fillers have other benefits. Nearly 34 percent of individuals exhibit facial asymmetry, while 16 percent specifically show lip asymmetry. Dermal lip fillers are one of the best ways to help treat this. Adding volume to the lip area also helps correct and smooth the appearance of perioral lines, vertical lip lines, and lip wrinkles. Due to the hyaluronic acid in JUVÉDERM lip filler, an increase in hydration is another benefit that can help slow down the signs of aging lips.
Treatment Procedure
Like all other treatments at The Aesthetic Center, we like to schedule a consultation to discuss the results that you are hoping to achieve and treatment options to help you reach your goals. During a dermal filler consultation, you can expect to discuss the reason you are seeking fillers, proper filler, results you are looking for, and aftercare. All injections are administered by a trained Medical Associates provider to ensure patient safety and comfort. The treatment process begins with a topical anesthetic to numb the lip area. Lips should quickly begin to feel numb, resulting in little to no pain during the injection process. The JUVÉDERM lip filler is then injected with ultra-fine needles into different parts of the lips, including the edges (vermillion border), the curve in the center of the upper lip (Cupid’s bow), and the oral commissures (corners of the mouth). Our team is dedicated to ensuring your comfort and satisfaction throughout the entire process, which takes only 15 to 30 minutes. You’ll notice immediate fuller lips with results lasting between 9 and 12 months.
Treatment Aftercare
After your appointment, you may notice swelling, bruising, and tenderness around parts of the mouth area. The discomfort should go away 12 to 24 hours after your appointment, and swelling should reduce within seven days. To help reduce the swelling and inflammation, apply an ice pack to the area for up to ten minutes daily. Refrain from applying any lip products, kissing, touching, sipping from a straw, and puckering your lips for 24 hours following your appointment. Drinking plenty of water and refraining from exercise will also help speed up the recovery process. Stick to participating in a movie marathon instead of running a marathon several days following your injections. We also recommended a follow up appointment three week after injections to ensure your results have been achieved and that you are healing properly.
At The Aesthetic Center, we understand the importance of feeling confident, especially during the season of love. Because we believe confidence is the most beautiful accessory you can wear, we’re here to help. Call us today at 563-584-3444 for a complimentary consultation!
