Lip Fillers in Dubai

Lip Fillers in Dubai  

Lip fillers are dermal fillers injected into thin lips to make them voluminous. This no-surgical lip augmentation helps enhance facial aesthetics. It may also delay the need for more invasive options like a surgical lip lift. 

The main ingredient of lip fillers is hyaluronic acid. Once injected, it stays in the lip tissues for some time, thanks to its thicker consistency. At the same time, it restores the moisture-retaining property of those tissues. This dual function naturally promotes lip plumpness.

Why Lip Augmentation with Fillers

You may want to get lip fillers for various reasons. Some of them are as follows:

• They help improve lip symmetry.
• They help improve the appearance of fine lines around the lips.
• They can create a more prominent “Cupid’s Bow” shape.
• They can add fullness to the lips that looks and feels natural.

Who Is a Good Candidate For Lip Filler?

You are generally a good candidate for lip fillers if:

• You do not smoke or are willing to stop smoking six weeks before the procedure.
• You are experiencing lip volume loss.
• You are overall healthy.
• You have a positive outlook and realistic expectations of the procedure.

How are Lip Fillers Done?

The cosmetician applies a topical anesthetic to the lips soon after you arrive at the clinic. It usually takes 30 to 40 minutes for the treatment site to become desensitized.

After that, the treatment provider uses thin-needled injections to administer lip fillers into different areas of the lip. The most common injection sites include:

• The curve in the upper lip’s center (cupid’s bow)
• The lips’ edges (vermillion border)
• The corners of the mouth (commissures).

The total lip filler administered in one session is typically 1 ml. The amount injected at one injection site may range from 0.05 ml to 0.1 ml, depending on the degree of volumizing required. The depth of these injections may vary, depending on the lip area and the injection technique.

The entire lip filler procedure takes anywhere between 30 minutes and two hours, depending on the number of injection sites and the desired plumpness.

Types of Lip Fillers

The most common dermal fillers used for lip augmentation include:

• Restylane
• Juvederm
• Restylane Lyft

How Long After Lip Filler Can You See Results?

Fillers change the lip appearance immediately. However, the first look is usually influenced by swelling, which subsides substantially in seven days and completely disappears in about two weeks. The desired lip shape becomes visible after that.

How Long Do The Fillers Last?

The treatment results may last 9-12 (or, in some cases, 18) months, with the first sign of lip volume reduction appearing in 3-4 months. You will likely need a repeat treatment in 12-18 months to restore your looks. The longevity of lip fillers mainly depends on the type of filler solution and the individual metabolism rate.

What are the Risks and Side Effects of Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers are overall safe with only a few risks. Those risks include the following:

• Bleeding and pain at the injection sites
• Tenderness
• Asymmetry
• Cold sore reactivation

How Much Do Lip Fillers Cost in Dubai?

A lip filler injection usually costs AED 1500. The final price of the entire treatment will depend on the amount of filler and the number of injections. Other pricing factors include the practitioner’s expertise and the geographic location of the treatment facility.

What are the Lip Fillers made from?

The primary component of lip fillers is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance produced by the body. Although the HA used in dermal fillers is synthetic, it is well-accepted by the tissues when injected. Other ingredients in the fillers may vary depending on the specific product. 

How Painful is Lip Filler?

Lip fillers are usually minimally painful as they are administered when the treatment area is numb due to the topical anesthetic. They may, however, cause a stinging sensation at the injection sites, which is generally well within the patient’s pain threshold. Some patients do not feel any pain during or after these injections.
