LIP AUGMENTATION TO ACHIEVE FULLER, YOUNGER LOOKING LIPS
London Dermatology | 24 December 2024
Lip fillers function by injecting a needle or microcannula into the lips to increase their volume and shape. You won’t need to spend the night with your healthcare professional because the treatment is straightforward. Before the procedure, you will typically speak with your doctor to make sure they understand your needs and to let you know what to expect.
To ensure you won’t experience any pain, your practitioner will first numb your lips using an anaesthetic. Typically, this local anaesthetic takes the form of a lidocaine-containing numbing lotion. Nonetheless, some medical professionals may also recommend an injection similar to the one dentists use to numb the mouth. Depending on the desired result, they will use a tiny needle or a microcannula to inject filler into particular lip areas once your lips have become numb. Depending on the intended effect, this can involve the corners of your mouth, your cupid’s bow, the edges of your lips, or the body of your lips.
Lip fillers provide a quick and easy way to add extra volume and shape to lips. They deliver almost immediate results using a medically developed solution, which is carefully injected into the lips by a qualified practitioner.
At Devonshire Dermatology, dermatologists only ever use Juvéderm® Ultra for lip fillers, which contains hyaluronic acid; a naturally occurring substance that retains moisture to boost hydration and elasticity.
