Are you eager to have your face rejuvenated without spending a fortune on creams? Are you looking for a way to refresh your appearance, but don’t want the hassle of surgery?
If so, you may be a suitable candidate for dermal fillers, especially if you are looking for a simple way to plump your lips!
At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we can offer you a myriad of different non-surgical facial aesthetics, with one of our most popular being lip fillers Harley Street. These simple injections can be performed during your lunch break, allowing you to return to work looking radiant and natural. Great!
But if you have never had lip fillers Harley Street before, you will probably have some questions. Here, our team answers the most common ones we receive.
What is in a dermal filler?
Lip fillers Harley Street are, in essence, dermal fillers that are injected into your lips.
And at our practice, the types of dermal fillers that we use are composed of hyaluronic acid. We use a man-made protein that resembles the natural hyaluronic acid that your body produces; when it is injected under the skin, it can minimise the appearance of fine lines and will also plump the skin, creating a firmer, fuller appearance.
This substance dissolves over time, allowing it to give a more natural appearance and, as you may have considered, because it is a synthetic compound similar to the naturally-occurring one, the chances of you developing an allergic reaction to it are minimal to none.
What happens when you get dermal fillers in your lips?
When you come to us to have fillers in your lips, we will invite you to a consultation; at this, we will discuss the risks, your health and whether you are a suitable candidate for treatment.
If this all goes well, we will invite you back to have them injected; we may apply a numbing gel to your lips if you want us to, but in most cases, this is not necessary as the injections are minimal and the needles are very thin.
After they have been injected, you may have some minor bruising or swelling, which should resolve in a few days on its own. Avoid consuming alcohol, sunbathing, tanning beds or massaging your lips for a minimum of 1 day after receiving these injections.
How long do they last?
Fillers in the lips last on average around 4-6 months.
But these results may vary and will depend on factors such as your age when you first received them, your metabolism, and of course, how much filler was injected.
Can anyone have fillers in their lips?
Almost everyone over the age of 18 is suitable to have dermal fillers injected into their lips, but as briefly mentioned earlier at your consultation our team will ask you questions about your health.
If you have a blood clotting disorder, such as haemophilia, take blood thinners such as warfarin or require the frequent use of ibuprofen, there may be issues relating to bruising, so we may advise against this procedure.
If you want to have dermal fillers, but have concerns about underlying health conditions, please talk to our team and your general practitioner before proceeding with treatment.
