Lip Fillers in Melbourne

Lip fillers are small injections of gel that fill in wrinkles and add volume to soft tissue. Lip fillers are made from a natural substance which is responsible for attracting and maintaining water in the skin. For this reason, the fillers can be used to create beautiful volume and contouring for your lips.

Whether smiling, pouting, laughing or kissing, your lips are often in the limelight and forever a focal feature. Beautiful lips can enhance your look like no other feature can, thereby giving you a special kind of confidence.

The structure and volume of your lips can change with age. This ageing process is exacerbated by the action of your muscles, smoking and sun damage, which can be treated with lip fillers.

We can create a range of results, the most popular being:

• An enhanced ‘Cupid’s Bow’
• A stronger border around the edge of your lips
• Fuller lips
• Softened vertical upper lip lines

The structure of the lips can be achieved based on the clients preference. The areas being injected can be very targeted to get the desired result. 

Most clients are after volume and full lips. Depending on your current lip volume most clients only require 1ml of dermal filler to increase the volume to the desired look. In some cases an additional 1ml can use used either on the same treatment or as a top up after the initial swelling subsides. 

As dermal fillers are made of Hauloranic Acid, your body naturally breaks it down over time. The results generally last anywhere between 6-12 month depending on your metabolism and how fast you break down the product. 

For other areas such as vertical lip lines and shape correction usually 1ml is more than enough. It is possible to use less than 1ml and distribute the remainder into other parts of the face.

• Lip injections using dermal fillers:
• Improve volume
• Define lip line
• Correct asymmetry
• Generally enhance the shape and contours of your lips.
• Hydration
• Improve Smile

Before going ahead with your lip fillers treatment, we will want to get an idea of what you want your lips to look like. We will also provide you with a personalised recommendation based on your face shape and structure – your lips need to complement the rest of your facial features.

A local anaesthetic cream will be applied to the lips before injecting them to prevent unnecessary discomfort. During lip fillers treatment, we will gradually inject the filler until you are happy with the appearance.

Lip rejuvenation treatments don’t take longer than 20 to 30 minutes to complete, so patients can easily schedule it over their lunch hour. Since no downtime is necessary, you are free to return to work directly after your appointment, however there can be some swelling and a small chance of bruising can also occur

It’s important to protect your lips from direct sun exposure and to avoid vigorous exercises until the injections have settled. It’s also important not to rub or touch your lips too much after your treatment. You will also need to wait for any swelling to subside before you are able to see the final results.

Aftercare 

Application of Ice

You can place an ice pack your lips to reduce itching, swelling, bruising, and other pain that you may experience after the procedure.

Avoid Stress

Do not subject yourself to strenuous activities between one to two days after this procedure. This is because increased heart rate and blood pressure can cause severe bruising or swelling.

Stay Hydrated

Make sure to drink enough water to help your body with the healing process. Also, eat a lot of vegetables and fruits as they are good for your body.

It is also recommended to avoid the following for two weeks:

Extended exposure to sun or UV light

Extended exposure to heat or freezing temperatures

Exposure to any of the above may cause temporary redness, swelling, and/or itching at the injection sites. If you have swelling at the injection site you can apply an ice pack for a brief period to help with discomfort.
