Q: Are there different types of fillers?
A: There are many different types of fillers—all formulated for a specific purpose or treatment area. Traditional fillers, for example, are made with HA (hyaluronic acid) and are designed to stay placed below the surface of your skin, enhancing the fullness and contour of your lips.
But dermal fillerslike RHA collection, also based on HA, but designed to be flexible and move with your natural movements. These can be particularly effective for lifting the lips and appearing with subtle enhancements.
Another category to add to the list types of fillers are the biostimulant fillers. Like the previous types mentioned, biostimulant fillers are formulated with hyaluronic acid, but extend the benefits of lip fillers even further. They stimulate collagen production deep within the treatment area. Over time, this results in naturally firmer, fuller and more youthful looking lips.
Q: How much filler will I need to get the results I want?
A: The specific amount of filler required for your lip filler treatment will always depend on your individual needs, goals, foundation, budget and the types of fillers you use. These are all things we will need to assess and discuss with you personally before we can give you a better idea of ​​what to expect.
That said, we never use more than one filling syringe at a time. Lips are super reactive and we want to make sure everything looks and feels good with 1cc before adding more product. Slow and steady always wins the lip race.
Some clients may need to schedule multiple appointments to achieve the results they want, but many are able to get amazing and satisfying results after just one session.
Q: What happens if my filler moves?
A: Even under the best of conditions, it is possible for lip filler to migrate over time to unwanted areas (usually just outside the lips, creating a duck-like appearance or even the dreaded “filler moustache” “).
The lips are essentially a bundle of tubes and because the lips are constantly in motion, sometimes the product can shift. Fortunately, almost all lip fillers are reversible and it’s a quick process to dissolve the unwanted product to create a fresh start. Using filler solvent to completely erase the entire product, or just to thin and modify certain areas, is completely normal and happens all the time.
If you feel like the fullness of your lips has moved or you have a lump or bump that you don’t like, know that you don’t have to live like this. Any injector worth their salt can quickly and safely fix this for you in a way that is (usually) aesthetically pleasing.
Q: Do you offer other lip enhancement treatments?
A: We do. In addition to different types of fillers, we also provide Botox lip injections. If you are looking for non-injectable lip enhancement treatments, Thermage can tighten the skin on your lips, DiamondGlow they can temporarily plump and plump your lips, and topical lip glosses can even be used to mimic the look of certain types of lip fillers.
