Lip fillers Glasgow are having a bit of a moment just now and are one of the most googled beauty search terms in the UK just now. It is really important to know everything that you can about them and what you can expect from the results so lets look at how we get you the plump back in your pout:
What exactly is a lip filler:
Today’s sophisticated fillers are made of Hyaluronic (or HA), a substance that’s found naturally in the body. It’s a pretty useful beauty ingredient because it’s able to hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water. It gives our skin the elasticity and plumpness that gives us our youthful appearance. Fillers are produced as a gel and neither of them contain animal or human DNA which means it is one of the safest fillers on the market today. The most popular brands on the market are Teosyal and Juvederm.
What areas of the lips can the enhancement be performed:
Vermilion border or lip outline – for creating definition, width and improve lipstick bleeding lines
Lip augmentation targeting the fleshy part of the upper and lower lip – for volume, pout and fullness
Cupids bow definition – adds definition and contouring
Oral commissures or lines going down from the sides of the mouth – for a younger and happy lookMarionette lines (sad lines from corner of lips downward) – also known as puppet lines
How is the treatment administered:
Firstly our medical practitioner will give you an anaesthetic which is a strong numbing cream, the products themselves also contain Lidocaine to optimise comfort during the procedure. The fillers are then injected into the appropriate areas and massaged to provide the natural look you require.
When will you see the results:
You won’t see the real results of your lip enhancement for a couple of days, as the procedure does leave the lips a little swollen, but once the swelling has reduced you will see the difference. The area should be left to heal for at least 8 hours after the injections in order to prevent infections. After this time you can use your usual creams and lipsticks, if you wish.
