How much do lip injections cost? How long do lip injections last? We answer these questions and more.
The popularity of lip fillers from Guelph to London, Ontario continues to increase—especially among younger patients. If you’ve been considering lip injections but are hesitant to take the plunge because you just don’t know what to expect, this blog is for you! We’re answering common questions about lip injections so you can make your decision with confidence.
What Are Lip Injections?
First things first. Lip injections involve the skillful injection of dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, or BELOTERO® into the lips to improve volume, definition, and shape.
How Do Lip Fillers Work?
The dermal fillers we use contain hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally occurring sugar found in the body. Once injected into the lips, the substance works together with the body’s own HA to restore lost volume and stimulate collagen production for naturally fuller lips.
Who Gets Lip Fillers?
Our lip injection patients range from people whose lips have become thinner due to age to young women in their 20s who want to augment naturally thin lips. They want fuller, more sensuous-looking lips that look natural and not over-inflated.
The Beauty Nurse® team can help you love your lips by making a variety of improvements, including:
- Boosting volume for fuller and plumper lips
- Reshaping naturally thin or uneven lips
- Defining lips that have become flattened and deflated as a result of aging
- Balancing proportions of the upper and lower lips
- Enhancing the cupid’s bow
- Smoothing away vertical lip lines (smoker’s lines) around the lips
What Can I Expect During a Lip Injection Treatment?
Lip injections at our Waterloo/Kitchener practice are quick and easy treatments. After thoroughly reviewing your goals and studying your facial anatomy, our expert injector creates a customized treatment plan. Lip injections are performed using a fine needle to inject the dermal filler into specific areas of your lips. We apply numbing cream before the injections and our fillers contain lidocaine, so there is very little if any discomfort during the injections. The treatment itself lasts only a few minutes.
How Soon Will I See Results?
Lip fillers produce immediate results. Although some temporary bruising, tenderness, and swelling is possible post-treatment, no downtime is required. You’ll leave our office with the beautiful, natural lips you’ve been dreaming of.
Will My Lips Look Fake?
