Benefits of Lip Fillers

benefits of lip fillers

Here are some of the benefits of lip fillers:

  • Fuller, more defined lips: Lip fillers can add volume and definition to the lips. This can be especially beneficial for people with thin lips or lips that have lost volume due to aging.
  • Reduced appearance of lip lines: Lip fillers can also help to reduce the appearance of lip lines and wrinkles. This can give the lips a more youthful appearance.
  • Improved lip symmetry: Lip fillers can be used to correct asymmetries in the lips, such as when one lip is thinner or smaller than the other.
  • Enhanced facial harmony: Lip fillers can be used to improve the overall harmony of the face. For example, they can be used to balance out a strong jawline or to make the lips more prominent.
  • Increased self-confidence: Many people find that lip fillers can boost their self-confidence. This is because lip fillers can help to improve the overall appearance of the face and make the lips look more youthful and attractive.

It is important to note that lip fillers are a temporary solution. Most lip fillers last for about 1 year. After this time, the filler will gradually break down and the lips will return to their natural appearance.

If you are considering lip fillers, it is important to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner. At Elevate Spa we have qualified practitioners that will be able to assess your individual needs and recommend the best type of filler and amount of filler for you. We will also be able to explain the risks and side effects of lip fillers and answer any questions you may have.

Who should not get lip fillers?

Lip fillers are not suitable for everyone. They should not be used by people who are:

  • Taking certain medications, such as blood thinners
  • Have a history of allergic reactions to lip fillers or other injectable substances
  • Have certain skin conditions, such as herpes simplex or acne vulgaris

 

How to dissolve unwanted fillers/lumps & bumps?

Hylenex is a brand name for hyaluronidase, an enzyme that can be used to dissolve hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. HA fillers are the most common type of dermal filler used today. They are made from a natural substance that is found in the body and is responsible for keeping the skin hydrated.

Hylenex is typically injected into the area where the HA filler is located. The enzyme then breaks down the HA filler, which is then absorbed by the body. The amount of Hylenex that is needed will depend on the amount and type of HA filler that was used.

Hylenex can be used to dissolve HA fillers in any part of the face, but it is most commonly used to dissolve lip fillers. It can also be used to dissolve HA fillers that have caused complications, such as lumps or asymmetry.

Benefits of Hylenex?

Hylenex offers a number of benefits over other methods of filler removal, such as surgery or laser treatment. Hylenex is a non-invasive procedure that is relatively quick and easy. It is also safe and effective, with a low risk of side effects.

Side effects of Hylenex:

The most common side effects of Hylenex are mild and temporary, and may include:

  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Redness
  • Tenderness
  • Itching

More serious side effects, such as allergic reaction and infection, are rare but can occur.

Who should not use Hylenex?

Hylenex is not suitable for everyone. It should not be used by people who are:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Under the age of 18
  • Taking certain medications, such as blood thinners
  • Have a history of allergic reactions to hyaluronidase or other injectable substances
  • Have certain skin conditions, such as herpes simplex or acne vulgaris

How to use Hylenex

Hylenex is typically injected by a qualified and experienced practitioner. The procedure is relatively quick and easy, and most people experience only mild discomfort. The number of injections needed will depend on the amount and type of HA filler that was used.

After the procedure

After the procedure, the area where the Hylenex was injected may be swollen and bruised for a few days. This is normal and should subside within a week. Most people can see the results of their Hylenex treatment immediately.

Conclusion

Hylenex is a safe and effective way to dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers. It is a non-invasive procedure that is relatively quick and easy. If you are considering having your HA fillers dissolved, be sure to talk to a qualified and experienced practitioner about Hylenex.
