Whether you’ve had lip fillers before or are a first timer, there’s plenty of knowledge to gain. Unfortunately, there are many myths surrounding filler which have become common belief. I want to ensure you know the facts, so here’s everything you need to know before you get a lip filler treatment.
What Are Lip Fillers?
If you’re going to have something injected into your body, it’s important to know what it is. The majority of aesthetic filler treatments are made of hyaluronic acid. This is a substance that’s naturally found in the human body, so it’s safe and incredibly unlikely to cause a negative reaction. The hyaluronic acid comes in gel form, and can be either quite thin or quite thick. The viscosity will be chosen by your injector depending on the outcome you want.
Are Fillers Noticeable?
Only if you want them to be. If you want to achieve a natural, subtle result, this is entirely possible. Not everyone wants to use fillers to get large lips. Some only want a little extra plumpness or smoothness, while others may wish to define the outline of their lips with some additional structure. As well as that, lip fillers can also be used to encourage hydration in the lips. Only a small amount of filler is required to achieve these results, therefore the outcome can be just a very subtle enhancement.
Choosing An Injector
Lip fillers need to be applied by someone who is confident administering the injections. In the UK, you don’t need to be medically trained to work with filler. This means that it’s very important to take extra care when choosing an aesthetician.
My background as a dental hygienist puts me in an ideal position to apply fillers safely. I have extensive knowledge of health and hygiene, and understand the anatomy of the face. This means that I’m best equipped to work with fillers, as I know where the proper placement should be and how to inject safely.
My background and experience should reassure you that you’re in safe hands at my clinic. I offer free consultations, so we can have an in-depth discussion about your goals before booking a filler appointment. Get in touch today to schedule your consultation.
