What can I expect after the treatment?
After the treatment you may experience, redness, swelling and tenderness & occasionally mild bruising, which can last for the first 1-2 days, or occasionally up to a week or so.
How long will the treatment last?
Depending on the area being treated and the type of dermal filler used, a one off treatment can last on average about 6-15 months.
Dermal Fillers are injected with a very tiny needle. A numbing cream and or ice is used in most areas, so most patients tolerate it very well – reporting a tiny pinching sensation with each injection. When treating lips, your lips will be made numb with anaesthetic injections, similar to when you have injections at the dentist.
At Enhanceskin we only use hyaluronan (or hyaluronic acid) based fillers. These products are totally biodegradable and well tolerated as they are slowly broken down to water by your body. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule found naturally in our bodies.
How long does the procedure take?
Generally, after your consultation and assessment, the procedure can take around 30 minutes. You may require longer if you would like your lips enhanced, as we like to invest time in creating the most beautiful lips possible!
The fantastic thing about all the dermal fillers is that there is INSTANT gratification – which means you will see the results immediately.
I don’t want to have “trout pout” lips, will that happen?
No. We like to make your lips look as natural as you want. Less is best for lip enhancement. Our aim is to enhance the lip border which is usually lost as you age. If you would like bigger lips, we like to make sure the lips balance each other, as well as the rest of your face, as balance creates beauty in the face.
