Lip Fillers BC Laser

Shape, Volume & Balance

Lip fillers are hyaluronic acid-based injectable treatments designed to restore volume, refine lip contours and enhance overall lip symmetry. Hyaluronic acid (a molecule naturally found in the skin that attracts and retains moisture) is injected as a soft, cross-linked gel tailored to the delicate lip area, providing both structural support and hydration. Results are gradual and may vary depending on individual anatomy and the treatment plan established with your medical team.

Call Clinic

Because every patient's facial anatomy, aesthetic goals and medical history are different, lip fillers at our Dermapure City Centre clinic always begin with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will discuss the areas you would like to enhance, what a realistic treatment plan could look like and the possible side effects, which will be reviewed in detail during your consultation.

Benefits of Lip Fillers:

Non-Surgical Procedure: Lip fillers are administered through injections, without the need for surgery.
Customizable Treatment: The amount and placement of filler can be adjusted based on your lip anatomy, preferences, and treatment goals.
Temporary and Adjustable: Lip fillers are not permanent, allowing the treatment plan to evolve over time as your needs or preferences change.
Targeted Lip Enhancement: Treatment can focus on specific areas to address volume, shape, definition, or asymmetry based on your individual goals.
Personalized Approach: Each treatment plan considers your facial features, lip proportions, and desired level of enhancement.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized Assessment

Establishing clear treatment goals is vital for achieving your desired lip filler results. Various factors, such as age, skin quality, and genetic predispositions, will influence the quantity of product needed to ensure optimal and natural outcomes. During your consultation, we will explore your objectives and expectations, allowing us to leverage our expertise to provide tailored recommendations aligned with your priorities and budget.

Additionally, it's important to inform us if you have a history of cold sores or have received any previous dermal filler injections, lip augmentation treatments, or cosmetic procedures. This information helps us create a safe and effective treatment plan, considering any past experiences with plastic surgery or non-surgical enhancements.

Step 2

Take Pictures

Capturing pre-treatment photographs allows for a detailed assessment of areas affected by volume loss. These images serve as valuable references when discussing your goals with our specialists and offer a clear comparison to your “after” pictures, helping to visualize your treatment results over time.

Step 3

Proceed with Injections

Our goal is to enhance your natural beauty and restore facial harmony. Our injection specialists use the highest quality hyaluronic acid products tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure. Depending on the chosen technique, the product is injected beneath the skin with either a needle or a small cannula. This approach aims to achieve symmetry, restore contours, and compensate for volume loss. The number of syringes required varies based on the specific areas being treated and the target results.

Step 4

Return to Normal Activities

Post-treatment, you can resume your daily activities immediately. While some localized redness, swelling, or bruising may occur, these effects are temporary and subside quickly. There is no significant downtime expected. The results are immediately visible, with optimal outcomes becoming apparent within the days to weeks following the injection, and effects typically lasting between ten to twelve months.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

Lip fillers provide immediate results, with full effects visible within 4-6 weeks. Depending on the type of filler used, results typically last between 6-12 months. To maintain your enhanced lip volume and contour, regular follow-up appointments are recommended.

Contraindications

When considering lip injections, it’s crucial to identify any contraindications that could affect treatment outcomes or recovery. Here are key factors to consider:

Cold Sores: Patients with a history of cold sores may experience outbreaks post-treatment. It’s advisable to consult a healthcare provider about antiviral medication to prevent flare-ups.
Active Skin Irritation: Any inflammation, rashes, or irritations on the lip area can complicate healing and may require treatment before injections.
Active Oral Infections: Infections, such as abscesses or lesions in the mouth, should be addressed prior to any cosmetic procedures to minimize the risk of complications.
Canker Sores: Similar to cold sores, canker sores can lead to discomfort and hinder the healing process.

It’s essential to have a thorough consultation with your injector to discuss these factors and ensure a safe and effective treatment plan.
