Is there recovery following Lip Filler Treatment? Will the treatment leave any marks?
There is no recovery period required after the treatment, which means you can resume your daily activities right away without taking time off work. The results of the treatment will be visible immediately, but it may take around 2 weeks for the final outcome to become apparent, as this allows for any swelling and bruising to subside and for the lips to fully recover. It's typical to experience redness at the injection site, which is a standard reaction to all injectable treatments. Further details on what you can anticipate during and after the treatment will be explained in-depth during the consultation before the procedure commences.
Is Lip Filler Treatment safe?
Absolutely. The dermal fillers used in this treatment are based on hyaluronic acid, which is derived naturally and not from animal sources. This substance is considered to be one of the most versatile in nature and has undergone extensive research in laboratories. As time passes, the filler breaks down naturally in the skin, and the body can metabolize it, resulting in a gradual fading of the treatment's effects. This process occurs similarly to the breakdown and re-absorption of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid in the skin. Hyaluronic acid has gained a reputation as a secure, efficient, and excellent alternative to surgery.
What happens after 6 months?
After undergoing this treatment, patients often feel more self-assured, as they'll notice immediate and natural-looking results. This transformation in appearance can be quite noticeable. One of the significant advantages of this treatment is that it is not a permanent solution. As a result, it's an excellent option for individuals who wish to try out a new appearance without committing to surgery or drastically altering their facial features. The lips can be adjusted over time as the face changes to maintain the desired outcome. The treatment's durability is influenced by several factors, such as the patient's metabolic rate, lifestyle choices, and overall health.
What should I avoid after?
