Lip fillers have become increasingly popular in patients of all ages to plump, reshape, augment and hydrate the lips.
Whether you are looking to increase the size of your lips, correct any asymmetry, fill smoker’s lines or simply bring back the natural volume of your lips lost during the natural ageing process, we can offer a safe and effective treatment with natural-looking results.
Space Healthcare offers lip fillers in Leamington Spa from a discreet clinical environment, ensuring patients receive the best care.
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances of varying viscosities. They can be used in all manner of ways to sculpt and shape facial contours, fill lines and wrinkles, and even help the skin rejuvenate through increased hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin fibres.
Dermal fillers are made up of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring sugar within the body. Hyaluronic acid is responsible for cushioning and hydration in your skin. As we age, levels of HA within the body deplete rapidly, leaving the skin dehydrated, dry and sagging. Lines and wrinkles can appear, and the skin can take on a hollow and dull appearance. Using injectable dermal fillers to plump out the skin, hydrate and fill areas in need of volumising can produce astounding results, in one treatment session.
Dermal fillers treat many concerns, including thinning or ageing lips or lips which are asymmetrical or misshapen (read more here), sunken cheeks, deep temples, under eye bags and dark circles, a misshapen nose, a weak chin or jowls, an undefined jawline, deep-set lines and wrinkles. Skilled injectors can even perform facelifts without surgery.
Looking for lip fillers in Leamington Spa? Before any non-surgical treatment here at Space Healthcare, we request that you attend an initial no-obligation consultation with one of our medically qualified and experienced injectors.
This meeting allows you to describe your lip concerns and ask as many questions as you have about your dermal filler procedure. It will also enable your practitioner to examine your lips and to check your medical history so that they can advise you on the best course of action for the outcome you seek. We want to ensure lip fillers will be the most suitable and safe option for you.
Before the treatment takes place, your lips may be numbed with a topical anaesthetic for comfort. Once the numbing cream has taken effect, your practitioner will inject a measured dosage of a specifically selected dermal filler into the areas of the lips that need attention.
A regular needle may be used for the procedure, though cannulas are now being used more regularly for dermal filler treatments for the lips.
Cannulas, which are rounded tipped needles, help minimise bruising as they glide easier into the vermillion border of the lips, past delicate blood vessels and veins.
Once the treatment is complete, you will be able to return to your daily activities, though adhering to any aftercare instructions that your practitioner will offer you.
As with any injectable procedure, which involves using needles or cannulas, there can be some discomfort or strange sensations such as pulling or tugging of the skin.
As the lips are very sensitive and vascular, this would be very uncomfortable without some type of numbing treatment. This is why a numbing cream will be used before your lip filler treatment.
The dermal fillers we use at Space Healthcare contain Lidocaine, injectable anaesthesia, which numbs the area as the needle injects the substance.
The use of cannulas in recent years has also meant minimised discomfort with a lip filler treatment. These special devices glide much easier through the tissues of the lips and do not pierce the nerves, which causes the pain that traditional needles do.
If you are particularly worried or sensitive to pain, your practitioner can offer you an injectable nerve ‘block’ to numb the lips and surrounding area completely, but this is not usually necessary as a topical anaesthetic is generally enough.
