Question 1

What does lip filler do?

Accepted Answer

Lip filler is a dermal filler treatment in the lips. It can add volume to thin lips, correct uneven lip shape, smooth out smoker’s lines.

Question 2

What are lip fillers made of?

Accepted Answer

Lip fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which is a substance that naturally occurs in the dermis of the skin. It can be found in many beauty products, as it is a hydrophilic molecule, meaning that it attracts water. It can hold up to 1000 x its own weight in water making it an excellent hydrator.

Question 3

Are lip fillers safe?

Accepted Answer

Lip fillers are a cosmetic treatment, and like all medical procedures, there is always a chance that something could go wrong. However, if performed by experienced and qualified practitioners, it is a safe procedure.   At Permanent Cosmetic Studio we are not only first aid trained. We can also administer Hyaluronidase and Epipen in case on an emergency.   All injectable aesthetic procedures should be performed in a clinical setting with aseptic techniques.

Question 4

Does lip filler hurt?

Accepted Answer

Of course, the discomfort level will mostly depend on own pain tolerance.   At Permanaent Cosmetic Studio, we apply a numbing cream prior to treatment.   The lip filler even has a dose of the painkiller lidocaine mixed in the gel, which will further help to numb the area.

Question 5

What does lip filler feel like in the lips?

Accepted Answer

Initially, there is some swelling and the lips may feel bigger than you would like.   However, please bear in mind that the swelling will soon go down to reveal the final result.   This usually takes a week to 2 weeks but can take longer.   We may advise you to apply arnica cream to reduce bruising but it also helps to hydrate the lips as the swelling settles. Occasionally, you may be able to feel the lip filler, in which case gentle massage may be helpful.

Question 6

How long does it last?

Accepted Answer

The HA lip filler gel will last at least 6 months according to the manufacturer’s literature.   However in reality, we have found that lip filler treatments have lasted much longer. Please remember when the initial swelling goes down, you may mistake that for the filler not lasting. In these cases, if you prefer the fuller look, another treatment session will help to achieve that.
