A Guide to Lip Filler

Here at Clinica Medica, Lip filler is one of our most requested treatments.

Lip filler treatment is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a filler substance into the lips to increase their volume, improve their shape, and enhance their appearance. Here are some frequently asked questions that we get about the lip filler treatment:

What are lip fillers made of? A: Lip fillers are typically made of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found in the body that helps to keep the skin hydrated and plump.

Is the treatment painful? A: The treatment involves using a fine needle to inject the filler substance into the lips, so some patients may experience some discomfort. However, a topical numbing cream can be applied to minimize any discomfort.

How long does the treatment take? A: The treatment typically takes around 15-30 minutes, depending on the extent of the treatment.

How long do lip fillers last? A: The results of lip filler treatment can last for 6-12 months, depending on individual factors such as age, skin condition, and lifestyle factors.

Is lip filler treatment safe? A: Lip filler treatment is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced healthcare professional. However, as with any medical procedure, there is a risk of side effects, such as swelling, redness, and bruising.

Is there any downtime after the treatment? A: There may be some swelling and bruising after the treatment, but most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.

Can lip filler treatment be reversed? A: Yes, lip filler treatment can be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which can dissolve the filler substance.

Who is a good candidate for lip filler treatment? A: Good candidates for lip filler treatment are typically individuals who are looking to enhance the appearance of their lips, improve their shape or increase their volume. It is important to have a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if the treatment is right for you.

It is important to note that lip filler treatment may not be suitable for everyone and should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional. Additionally, results may vary depending on individual factors such as age, lip shape, and lifestyle factors.
