Different types of lip fillers
Because of the social media, the celebrity fan following has increased by many folds. People not only follow the lives of the celebrities nowadays, they also follow the trend they set. For example, after Kim Kardashian started the trend of nude makeup, every makeup brand, whether high-end or drug store, rolled out their nude palettes and lip colours. Similarly, KylieJenner is the one who blew the trend of full and pouty lips out of proportions. Before her, the lip job was only reserved for the people who had ageing lips and wanted to revoluminize their lips. Now,everybody wants a pretty pout with full lips. The trend has given a boost to the cosmetic industry and demand for the non-surgical lip job has increased a lot. Non-surgical lip job involves injecting dermal fillers along the lip line to give volume and definition to the lips.
Dermal filler injection isoften called the magic treatment since one product works on multiple areas of the face. It can work on thinning lips, sagging eyebrows, enhance the cheekbones, remove dark circles, smooth the laugh lines and make you look younger and refreshed. A simple injection can take years off tiredness off your face and make you look more active and focused. Dermal filler procedure takes less than an hour to perform and require little to no downtime; the side effects are minor if any.
However, temporary is the key word when talking about the dermal fillers. The fillers don’t last forever and most often, the effect wears off after a few months, depending on the type of filler used and the recipient metabolism.
Which one to choose:
There are multiple dermal fillers in the market. Choosing the ideal filler for you will depend on your pocket, the experience of your chosen cosmetic doctor and the filler they prefer and your skin nuances- the amount of sun damage on your skin, the level of elasticity of your skin. Always keep in mind that what works for you might not work for your friend and vice versa. One more thing is that you should not confuse Botox with fillers. Although Botox and fillers are used in combination to enhance each other’s functions, but the mode of action of the products are entirely different. If you are thinking of going under the needle, you should know a few key points about the different types of the fillers commonly used:
Juvederm:
It is also known as Juvederm XC, Juvederm Ultra XC and Juvederm Voluma XC. It gives volume to the skin by smoothing out the fine lines and wrinkles. It can be injected close to the surface of the skin, therefore it is used in areas where the skin is thin. For example, to smooth out the laugh lines. Juvederm XC contains lidocaine along with the basic ingredient, Hyaluronic acid. Lidocaine helps in numbing the lip area (where it is commonly used) to reduce the pain. Voluma XC, on the other hand, is used to add volume to the cheek area.
Restylane:
It is also known as Restylane Silk and Restylane-L. It is used to reverse back the moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles. Because it is composed of smaller particles than all the other fillers, it is ideal for lip enhancement.
Perlane:
Also known as Perlane-L, it adds volume to the more prominent folds of the facial areas. The hyaluronic acid in the Perlane is formulated to form a thicker product that’s why it is ideal for the very prominent folds.
Sculptra:
The active ingredient of Sculptra is Poly - L – Lactic Acid (PLLA), a synthetic compound that stimulates the formation of collagen inside the skin. Initially, it was used in the patients with AIDS who had lost the facial fat due to the anti-viral drugs. It effectively fills the hollows in the cheeks and lifts the sunken areas of the skin. It also thickens the skin of the face. It cannot be used on the lips but is effective for all other facial areas.
Radiesse:
It is composed of Calcium Hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel/ it provides immediate wrinkle correction and at the same time, it stimulates the body to produce natural collagen. Its most common use is to plump up the volume of the cheeks. Radiesse is not effective for lips.
Currently, the non-surgical cosmetic industry is operating on its own, it’s unaccounted and unregulated, yet it makes up to £3 billion per annum. Dermal fillers generate a reasonable chunk of this income, but the sad fact is that every year thousands of patients suffer at the hands of inexperienced professional. If you are seeking for experienced and trained professional, who will perform the lip job with utmost professionalism, then CosmeDocs clinic is the right choice for you.
