Are lip fillers painful?
While lip filler injections may cause some discomfort, most products include lidocaine, a painkiller, to ease discomfort during and after the procedure. Topical numbing creams or ice can also be applied before treatment to minimize pain, especially since the lips are sensitive.
How long does a lip filler treatment take?
A typical lip filler session takes around 15 to 30 minutes. If you opt for topical numbing, allow an extra 30 to 60 minutes for the numbing agent to start working.
Do I need to get lip fillers regularly?
Lip fillers are temporary, lasting anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the product and area injected. You don’t have to get fillers indefinitely, but if you want to maintain your youthful, plump look, you will need regular lip fillers.
Will my lip filler results be obvious?
Professionally administered lip fillers in Boulder will produce natural-looking results. Overfilled or unnatural results are usually due to excessive filler placement or poorly trained injectors. Our skilled practitioners offer the utmost precision with fillers to ensure subtle enhancement.
What are lip fillers made of?
Most lip fillers comprise hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps hydrate and add volume. Hyaluronic acid fillers are safe and reversible, and after a few months, your body successfully metabolizes the product.
How soon will I see results, and what's the downtime like?
Results are immediate but expect some redness and swelling, especially in the first 24-48 hours. Avoid major social events and strenuous workouts for about 72 hours, but daily activities can be resumed immediately.
Are there any potential side effects?
Common side effects include mild and temporary bruising, redness, swelling, lumps/bumps, and tenderness. Serious complications like infection or damage to blood vessels or nerves are exceptionally rare.
What should I do before a filler treatment?
Avoid aspirin or ibuprofen before your appointment, as these can increase bleeding and bruising. Your practitioner will provide specific pre-treatment instructions.
What should I do immediately after lip filler treatment?
After your lip filler in Boulder, avoid vigorous exercise for a day. Furthermore, avoid spicy foods and alcohol for 24 hours due to lip tenderness.
Is it safe to get lip fillers if I have allergies or skin conditions?
Lip fillers are generally safe for individuals with allergies or skin conditions, but please discuss your medical history and any concerns with your injector. They can determine if you're a suitable candidate and recommend the best approach for your specific needs.
