Injections and Lip Augmentation

by | Aug 2, 2013 | Healthcare

Having full and lush lips is attractive and desirable.  If your lips are thin you might be considering a lip augmentation to help make them appear fuller.  There are actually several ways to change the look of your lips, but no matter which specific process you go with the procedure is called lip augmentation.

Most often these lip augmentation procedures are done with injectables that go under the dermal layers of the skin.  These are made from a synthetic material that mimics hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance that already exists in the body and creates greater volume in the lips.

No doubt that you’ve heard of collagen, which used to be one of the most popular dermal fillers on the market, but there are better options available now; and they are safer with longer lasting effects.  The effects of these procedures can last up to six months. They are not permanent and will need to be repeated in order for the effect to continue.

Most fillers also come with a lidocaine substance in them, which helps to numb the area as the filler is being injected into the lips.  Here are some of the more popular types of lip augmentation fillers that are currently being used on the market:
* Restylane

* Perlane

* Juvederm

The benefits of these lip augmentation fillers are numerous and advancements in this type of cosmetic procedure have made these procedures easy to recover from and relatively risk free.  The lip augmentation fillers allow medical professionals to have control over the volume of your lips.  They can determine how much volume is created and shape your lips as they use the injection. Results are better and customers are more satisfied.

These injections can also be done continually over several treatments in order to get the fullness that you desire in your lips.  By using the injections in steps, you are able to slowly change your appearance and have a more natural plumpness to your mouth over time.

The new lip augmentation fillers also dissolve easily. They typically create less bruising in the injection area, and they have longer lasting results than any of the treatments that were used in the past.  These injections are not permanent, but they can last for up to a year.  They are well tested and therefore, are unlikely to cause any type of allergic reaction.

If you are considering a lip augmentation treatment it is important that you find a medical professional to do this treatment for you.  Only someone who has been trained in this process should be allowed to give you lip augmentation injections.  Using the services at Signature Institute Aesthetic will allow for you to find the best medical professional to help you get the fuller looking lips that you want.
