Are Lip Injections right for you?

Plump, beautiful lips are a universal symbol of youthful beauty and a captivating smile has the power to enhance your entire face. At Lucere Dermatology, we love dermal fillers for how they subtly and naturally amplify anyone's unique beauty. One of the most popular uses for dermal fillers is to achieve full, beautifully proportioned lips.

Dermal fillers are soft, gel-like substances that are injected under the skin to fill in lines, wrinkles and areas that commonly lose volume with age, such as cheeks and lips. They can be used to smooth and soften lines and wrinkles, enhance and reshape facial features, restore volume and fullness to aged skin, and to plump up lips. Dermal fillers come in different formulas and consistencies suitable for different treatment areas.

Types of Lip Fillers

There are different types of lip fillers made with a variety of body-safe substances, and the most common ingredient in premium lip fillers is hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the skin. Dermal fillers are the perfect treatment to enhance lips. They are known to add volume and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth to restore youthfulness. And, they can even be used to enhance the shape of lips to create a more symmetrical appearance.

At Lucere Dermatology, we carry a full range of premium fillers by brands such as; Juvéderm, Restylane, Belotero, and Revanesse. These fillers are specially formulated for specific treatment areas and concerns. Our expert injectors know that lip enhancement is an art, as well as a science. They use the most advanced injection techniques and premium fillers to create a naturally full and beautiful look. Lucere’s philosophy is to “Look good, not done” where you look fresh, rested & great, but people can’t tell you had injections done. At Lucere Dermatology the staff work closely with their clients to help them achieve the look they desire.

If you’re contemplating getting lip injections in Edmonton or are nervous about the process, this article will hopefully answer any questions or concerns you may have. The first step is coming in for a complimentary consultation with one of Lucere’s expert Injectors, where you can describe the look you desire, and they will assess your lips and face and suggest a treatment that will suit your facial structure. They will also explain the procedure and filler products available to help you achieve that look. If you decide to go through with the treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied, aftercare is discussed and, in most cases, the treatment only takes 15-20 minutes. The most common side effects include swelling, tenderness, bruising, firmness and bumps. These effects usually fade by the end of the following day, but you may see some swelling and bruising for up to a week.

Lip injections are one of the most satisfying cosmetic procedures because they are quick, and you can see results right away! The full results of your treatment will be visible within two weeks after your appointment. Some people want fuller, and more defined lips but hesitate that lip fillers will look fake and "overdone." With premium fillers specially formulated for lip enhancement and advanced injection techniques, lip enhancement is a subtle, natural-looking treatment that will leave you looking refreshed and never overdone. At Lucere, we know that it’s your injectors' experience and techniques that will matter most in the type of result you receive.

Injectable Fillers are Not Permanent

Injectable fillers are not permanent, so if you love your results be sure to book a top-up appointment to maintain your look. Fillers are made from natural substances and the body gradually absorbs the product over time. Premium fillers last from 6 months to 9 months depending on the product, treatment area, and how your body responds.

Cost of Lip Injections

The cost of lip injections depends on individual treatment. We are proud to offer premium treatment administered by a board-certified dermatologist at competitive prices. Our expert injectors use advanced techniques to optimize every treatment, and we charge for results, not by the amount of filler used. This means you will never feel pressured to use more filler than needed to achieve the look that you desire.

Your lips are one of your most visible features, so it is important to be able to trust in the experience and skill of the individual providing your treatments, as well as in the quality of the product used. At Lucere Dermatology, we use only the most advanced injection techniques and premium products to ensure the best results. Our expert team has over 40 combined years of experience injecting lip fillers in Edmonton. Our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Zaki Taher, teaches filler injection techniques to doctors and nurses across Canada, so you know you will always be in good hands at Lucere Dermatology.
