Over the past year, many of us have been looking at our faces more at work or through the lens of a smartphone camera, and as a result have considered nonsurgical aesthetic treatments such as lip fillers.
Lip fillers or dermal fillers are an injection of a substance, most commonly hyaluronic acid, that naturally traps more moisture into our lips and makes them look more plump, hydrated and full.
If you are considering lip fillers, experienced practitioners are ready to discuss your needs and answer any questions you have, so here are our top tips to making the most of lip fillers.
Ask Everything
The entire point of a skincare practitioner is to ensure you make an informed decision for how you want your face to look and want to guide you through the process to make it as easy and rewarding as possible.
Voice any questions and concerns you have, ask about the expectations you should have for treatment and look at before and after images.
This will not only help you decide if fillers are right for you but also whether your practitioner is the right fit.
Know There Will Be Swelling
One important fact that people who have lip fillers should know before they have the treatment is that once the half-hour session has been completed, the filler takes a little time to settle. Swelling and bumps are normal, but within a few days, they should disappear.
How To Minimise Bruising
There are ways to reduce swelling and deal with the discomfort of lips that are worth knowing. Ice can help in small doses, as can pineapple as it contains the enzyme bromelain which helps to reduce inflammation.
Try to avoid aspirin and ibuprofen as it can increase the bruising after treatment and make sure to stay hydrated.
