Lip Fillers

What are lip fillers?

Lip fillers are injections that add volume to your lips.
They are a type of dermal filler.

Lip fillers consist of synthetic hyaluronic acid (HA).
Actual HA is a natural substance produced by in your body. There are many
different brands of lip fillers, including Revolax®, Stylage®, Juvederm®,
Restylane® and Aliaxin®.

How long do lip fillers last?

We at Beauty HQ advise that lip fillers may last from 3 months
to 12 months. It depends on factores like your lifestyle, age and how fast your
body breaks down calories into energy (metabolism). Younger people tend to burn
calories faster, so lip fillers don’t last as long. First timers also may
notice shorter longevity than people who already had it before.

Why a lip filler?

Getting lip fillers is a personal decision.

Many people who get lip fillers want to increase the size of
their lips. You might want to enlarge the size of your lips for many reasons,
including:

·       
Restoring a previous lip size. As you age, your
lips may get smaller or thinner.

·       
Correcting the shape of your lips. It’s common
for your lips to be different sizes or shapes (asymmetrical).

·       
Boosting confidence. Lip fillers can help
improve your self-esteem and body image.

To be considered for lip fillers, you should:

·       
Be in good physical health.

·       
Have realistic expectations.

·       
Not have an active oral infection, including mouth
ulcers or cold sores.

·       
Not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

What to expect at your appointment?

On your arrival you will be asked to fill out the
consultation form.

Next, one of Beauty HQ team members will apply a topical anaesthetic
cream to your lips. The topical anaesthetic will numb your lips so you won’t
feel any pain and the process is as comfortable as possible. You won’t feel any
pain, but you may feel a pinching sensation.

While you are numbing, your therapist / aesthetic
practitioner will go through the consultation with you discussing your:

·       
expectations

·       
skin type

·       
size of lips

·       
shape of lips

·       
Talk to us about any allergies you have, too.
And tell us about any prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medications that
you’re taking, including herbal supplements.

How long does it take?

Your appointment time will be approx. 60 minutes long.
Injection takes only a quarter of the appointment time.
