What Are Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers are cosmetic injectables that plump up and shape the lips. St. Pete Aesthetics offers hyaluronic acid-based lip fillers like Restylane Defyne, Restylane Kysse, Restylane Silk, and Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC to add volume, improve lip contours, and offer a fuller, more youthful appearance. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, making these fillers safe and reversible. Lip fillers in St. Petersburg are a popular non-surgical option for individuals seeking to enhance their lips and achieve a more attractive smile.

Lip Fillers Correct:

  • Thin or asymmetrical lips
  • Loss of lip volume due to aging
  • Undefined lip borders
  • Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth

How They Work

Lip fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body. When injected into the lips, hyaluronic acid attracts and binds with water molecules, resulting in increased volume and hydration. This process, called dermal hydration, fills in wrinkles and fine lines while the added volume enhances lip shape and contour. The body gradually breaks down the hyaluronic acid over time, making the effects temporary and allowing for adjustments as needed.

Your Lip Filler Journey

Procedure

You will have a consultation with a trained professional to discuss your goals and preferences. Once a suitable lip filler in St. Petersburg is chosen, a numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. The filler is carefully injected into the predetermined areas of your lips. The entire procedure takes around 15-30 minutes. You may experience some swelling and bruising afterward, but these effects usually subside within a few days.

Recovery

You can expect side effects like mild swelling, bruising, and redness. These usually resolve within a few days. Downtime is minimal, and you can resume most daily activities right away. To help reduce swelling, apply ice and avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. It’s also essential to follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner. Results will become more apparent as any initial swelling subsides.

Results

You can see the initial results immediately after your treatment. However, it’s essential to note that there may be some initial swelling, so the final results will become more apparent within a few days as the swelling subsides. The longevity of the results varies depending on the specific filler used, but most lip fillers in St. Petersburg last six months to a year. To maintain your desired lip appearance, you may need occasional touch-up treatments as the effects wear off.
