What are lip fillers?
Whether you have naturally thin lips or ageing has led to them becoming less full, lip fillers, also known as dermal fillers, can be a quick and simple solution to getting plump lips.
Lip fillers are one of the most popular injectable treatments in the UK. They help to add volume and definition to the lips and rejuvenate your pout.
All dermal filler treatments use a gel-like substance that includes hyaluronic acid as their main ingredient. This helps to boost hydration in your lips and can also treat lipstick lines to give you a more youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers, including lip fillers, are not permanent. The body will break down the hyaluronic acid over time and your lips will return to their original shape. The results of facial fillers for the lips usually last for 6-12 months.
At our Reading clinic, we also provide dermal filler treatment to help treat other areas on the face. This includes to smooth nasolabial folds, add volume to sunken cheeks, treat under eye dark circles and add definition to the chin and jawline.
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for the lips
At The Chiltern Medical Clinic, we use hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers from the most trusted brands in the world. This includes Juvéderm, Teosyal and Restylane.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that everyone has in their skin. As we age, our levels of hyaluronic acid start to reduce. This is why we start to see thin, dull and sagging skin.
Because lip fillers include hyaluronic acid, they help restore levels in your lips. This is what helps them look plump, hydrated and soft.
Dermal filler treatment can also stretch the cells that are responsible for collagen production. This can help kick-start collagen production in the lips, which also starts to decrease as we age.
What happens when you have lip filler treatment in Reading?
Your free consultation
All of our facial treatments start with a consultation with one of our doctors or nurses. This is so we can look at your medical history and do a full assessment of your skin and facial anatomy. This will help us to see where you will benefit most from fillers, and how much filler you will need to achieve your desired result.
If you feel comfortable with progressing with lip fillers, your doctor will provide you with a tailored treatment plan.
Your initial treatment with lip fillers
Your lip filler treatment should take no longer than 30 minutes to complete. This means you can fit lip fillers into your busy schedule.
Your doctor will start by running through the treatment details with you again. This will include where they will inject the fillers and how much they will use. This will be based on your face shape and what will give you the most natural-looking result.
Before we start your treatment, the doctor will apply a local anaesthetic or topical numbing cream. This is to help reduce any discomfort you might feel during lip fillers treatment.
Your doctor will use a very fine needle to inject the fillers into different points in and around your lips. Once they are happy with the placement, they will also massage the lip area to ensure that the filler is distributed evenly.
You will see the results of your lip fillers instantly, but it can take 1-2 weeks for the lip filler to settle and for your final results to show.
After 6-12 months you may need a repeat treatment depending on how your body responds to the treatment and how quickly it breaks down the fillers.
Are there any side effects from lip fillers?
Our doctors are trained in how to provide lip fillers safely so that you see minimal side effects. It is completely normal, however, to see some slight bruising or swelling around the injection sites. This should go down within the first 24-48 hours. Your doctor will provide you with aftercare instructions to help you manage this and get the most out of your results.
How much are lip fillers in Reading?
At The Chiltern Medical Clinic, we tailor our lip filler packages to meet the needs of each patient. The price of dermal fillers depends on the treatment area, the amount of filler you will need to get a natural look and if you are having fillers in multiple areas.
