What are lip fillers?
Lip fillers inject naturally occurring substances into your lips to enhance their shape and restore lost volume. Peach Skin & Laser is proud to offer Radiesse, a filler that combines calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) with an aqueous gel carrier to instantly improve the appearance of your lips.
How do lip fillers work?
Once your provider injects the Radiesse filler into your lips, they look noticeably plumper and more voluminous. The filler itself gradually fades, but it continuously stimulates your body’s natural collagen production to enhance the size and shape of your lips.
Over time, your body absorbs the gel and metabolizes the CaHA microspheres, leaving behind your natural collagen.
What are the benefits of lip fillers?
Radiesse lip fillers have many over alternative lip enhancers. Some of the most popular benefits of Radiesse fillers include:
- Noninvasive
- No downtime
- Relatively painless
- Quick and effective
- Visibly plumper lips
- Easily reversible with hyaluronidase
Perhaps the most important benefit of Radiesse is that it stimulates collagen in your body to reduce lip lines and naturally enhance your lips.
What can I expect from my lip filler appointment?
To ensure your comfort and minimize pain, your aesthetic specialist applies a numbing anesthetic to your lips before the injection. Next, they make markings on your lips to map out the injection sites.
Finally, your provider uses a very fine needle to gently inject the filler into your lips. They may apply ice after the injection to reduce any swelling and bruising you experience.
What happens after getting lip fillers?
It’s important to avoid putting pressure on your lips immediately after treatment. You should also refrain from wearing lipstick and other lip cosmetics.
Swelling, bruising, and tenderness are normal side effects of lip fillers that typically subside within a few days.
Radiesse lip fillers typically last anywhere from 12-18 months, longer than other brands of fillers, which wear off after six to nine months.
Lip fillers are a safe, effective treatment to significantly enhance your appearance without invasive surgery. To find out if lip fillers are right for you, call Peach Skin & Laser, or schedule an appointment online today.
