Lip Filler

One of the best things about lip filler — besides enhancing the look of your gorgeous new pout — is that the procedure is super quick and minimally invasive. During the treatment, your Natural Body Spa + Med Spa cosmetic injector will apply a topical anesthetic (Lidocaine) to numb any slight discomfort you may otherwise feel. Next, they will use ultra fine needles to administer the lip filler of your choice into the target areas. 

You will see immediate results with lip Injections. However, it typically takes about 4 weeks for the filler to settle in and achieve the final, desired look.

Lip filler results typically last one year. It is not permanent. All of the lip fillers at Natural Body Spa + Med Spa are FDA approved for up to 12 months.

A natural looking lip enhancement typically requires only one syringe Restylane or Juvederm lip filler. One syringe is equal to 1ml of product or 1/5th of a teaspoon. For a fuller look, some patients will add a second syringe a few months after their initial treatment to gradually enhance the size of their lips.

Your aesthetic injector will use ultra fine needles to administer lip filler into the target areas. All fillers contain Lidocaine (an anesthetic) that numbs the area to ensure minimal discomfort. The treatment is performed in just minutes, with minimal downtime or recovery.

How should you take care of your lips after injections? Immediately after your treatment, you can return to all your normal activities, including walking and light exercise. Follow these lip filler aftercare instructions:

• Apply ice to your lips to your lips using a clean ice pack to help with swelling and any discomfort.
• Avoid makeup or lip products for at least 24 hours.
• Sleep with your head elevated on two pillows to help reduce swelling.
• Avoid alcohol and blood thinners for the next 24 hours if you have bruising.
• Do not massage or press on the lips for at least a week.
• Avoid strenuous exercise for two days. Elevated blood pressure may make swelling worse.
• Drink plenty of water to to help your body heal.

Immediately after the procedure, you will most likely experience redness, swelling, and tenderness. Bruising is also possible. All of these minor side effects are completely normal parts of the lip augmentation healing process. Swelling should only last between 24-48 hours.

Swelling after lip filler usually only lasts 24-48 hours. Your lips may be tender for 1-2 weeks after your injections. It takes about 4 weeks to achieve your final, desired results.

Pregnant women should not get lip filler. There is no definitive evidence on the risks of lip fillers during pregnancy. That’s why doctors agree that is safer to wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding for lip injections.
