At aroraesthetics, we are specialists in lip filler or lip augmentation treatment with hyaluronic acid in Hamilton, Ontario.
With age, lips lose their shape and thickness. We also find patients who do not feel comfortable with their lips because they see them as very thin, asymmetrical, or with an imbalance between the upper and lower lips. In these situations, lip filler treatments manage to increase the volume of the lips according to the patient’s needs, always maintaining harmonious proportions.
At aroraesthetics, our treatment is always based on achieving harmony in the face and respecting the features of our patients. Sometimes a lip filler does not imply extra volume but rather recovers the original volume of the lip and the structure that we lose with age. The different types of hyaluronic acid allow us to individualise treatments with varied volume ranges depending on what each patient needs.
What does lip filling consist of?
Lip filler with hyaluronic acid is a currently in-demand treatment that is performed through injections of hyaluronic acid in the lip area. The technique with which we perform is simple and practically painless, although we can also previously apply topical anaesthesia in the area to be treated.
How does it apply?
The hyaluronic acid filler treatment is applied by infiltrating the hyaluronic acid into the lip area. It is a treatment that produces mild discomfort or pain that is generally tolerated very well. Topical anesthesia can be applied. The hyaluronic acid we use has an anesthetic incorporated to minimize the pain of the procedure.
How many sessions are necessary?
Lip filler with hyaluronic acid is typically done in a single session. To achieve the best results, one session a year must be performed and, in some cases, up to two depending on each person and their needs. When the lip is very thin, what we perform is a progressive lip augmentation that usually requires at least two sessions.
How long does hyaluronic acid last on lips?
The duration of the lip filler treatment with hyaluronic acid is usually between 9 to 12 months depending on each case, which is why we recommend undergoing the treatment 1 or 2 times a year if necessary.
Difference between lip filler and lip contouring
These two techniques, although they seem similar, are quite different and respond to different needs. As for the application, it is done with different techniques and the hyaluronic acid used is also different.
Lip contouring with hyaluronic acid is used to achieve a rejuvenating effect. We do not want to modify the structure of the lips; we only want to restore them to their best appearance, that has been lost over time from lack of hydration and environmental factors. With this treatment, the features are not altered, and we can improve and prevent the much-feared barcode.
One of the advantages of lip contouring with hyaluronic acid is that our body reabsorbs the hyaluronic acid over time. It must also be said that the result is immediate after carrying out the treatment and that it is very natural. With it, you can correct imperfections, highlight the edges of the lips, and increase their luminosity.
Lip filler with hyaluronic acid aims to recover the lost shape of the lip or change the shape of the lip and give it a fuller and more pronounced appearance, depending on the patient’s preferences. Although hyaluronic acid is also reabsorbed, as we have explained previously, the result of the treatment may take up to 18–24 months to completely disappear.
Lip Filler Before and After
Regarding lip filler before and after the treatment, it must be said that before undergoing a lip filler treatment, a prior assessment is made with the patient to assess facial anatomy and the area to be treated.
It is recommended to avoid alcohol consumption. It is also advisable to avoid the use of antiplatelet medications such as ibuprofen or aspirin, fish oils, vitamin E and gingko since their use could cause more bleeding and bruising.
In people prone to herpetic infections, it is usually recommended to perform anti herpetic prophylaxis the days before and after treatment. After the treatment, we always recommend that the patient not massage the treated area unless expressly instructed otherwise, and to avoid physical exercise, saunas, or swimming pools. In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help prevent or reduce inflammation resulting from treatment or to avoid infections.
