Eight reasons to love dermal fillers for natural-looking lip enhancement
Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables best known for treating fine lines and wrinkles on the face, but did you also know they can be used to contour, volumize, and shape the lips? Our providers at Revive RX Med Spa of Kansas City, Missouri, use dermal fillers in many different ways to enhance one’s appearance. Let’s look at how these fillers are beneficial as a natural-looking lip enhancement solution.
- Cost. Lip implants can be extremely expensive, but using dermal fillers for lip enhancement is much more affordable. This makes it more accessible to individuals who may not have the budget for surgery.
- Non-invasive. Dermal fillers are considered non-invasive, meaning there is no need for incisions or stitches. This reduces the potential risk of scarring and infection, making it a safer option for those seeking lip enhancement.
- Quick and convenient procedure. Injecting dermal fillers directly into the lips usually takes less than an hour, making it a convenient option for busy schedules. It also requires little to no downtime, allowing our patients to resume their daily activities immediately.
- Customizable results. Dermal fillers offer a more customizable approach to lip enhancement. The amount and placement of the filler are adjusted to achieve the desired results, allowing for a more natural-looking outcome tailored to each individual’s unique features.
- Temporary results. Unlike traditional lip implants, which are permanent, dermal fillers offer temporary results that can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used. This allows individuals to try out different looks and make changes as their preferences evolve.
- Low risk of complications. As with any cosmetic procedure, some level of risk is always involved. However, compared to surgery, dermal fillers have a lower potential for risk like bleeding, infection, or nerve damage.
- Minimal discomfort. Injecting dermal fillers into the upper and/or lower lips is relatively painless, with most individuals experiencing only mild discomfort. Some fillers even contain a local anesthetic to further reduce any potential discomfort that can occur during the procedure.
- Natural-looking results. One of the biggest advantages of using our quality dermal fillers for lip enhancement is that they can provide natural-looking results. With skilled and experienced injection techniques, dermal fillers will enhance both the shape and volume of lips without looking obvious or overdone.
