Everything about the lips

Beautiful and full lips are a calling card for your face; people with full lips are generally seen as attractive. It is not without reason that filling your lips is one of the most popular treatments, also because it gives you quick results! As you get older, your lips become thinner. We also produce less collagen and hyaluronic acid, which means that the elasticity in our skin is lost.

Lip fillers can be applied to your lower lip and/or upper lip. At Aēstec, this is done with the world's very best and safest fillers. Before you make such a decision about fillers, you naturally want to know what lip fillers are.

Lip fillers, everything you need to know

Dermal fillers were originally used to fill facial and neck wrinkles. The fillers turned out to be so successful that they were soon also used for the lips!

These fillers are made with, among other things, Hyaluronic Acid, the substance that we already have naturally in our skin, so that the treated skin maintains its elasticity. It also contains collagen and water, so that your skin becomes even and volume. There is little risk associated with a dermal filler treatment, because there is a product that is as natural as possible. The great thing about dermal fillers is that it's not permanent. It lasts a long time and then the results fade away.

Why are lip fillers so popular?

There are various reasons why someone wants a treatment for their lips. First of all: as we age, we lose firmness in our face (collagen) and our lips become thinner and less refined. Another reason is that someone wants a filler in their laugh lines, so that they can laugh again. When the upper lips get a little bit of volume, a face can look youthful again.

Some people feel insecure about their naturally thin lips. With fillers, you can raise the lip line so you feel confident again. We all remember Kylie Jenner's “thin to plum” lips? This has also caused lip fillers to suddenly become very popular among younger adults.

What types of treatments are available?

Years ago, fillers were made from a cookie cutter with many more substances and materials, which made the results exaggerated. It looked like lips were filled to the brim. Fortunately, that is no longer the case!

The market for lip fillers has developed excellently, so that lips still look very natural after a treatment. But more youthful and fresh. The amounts of the ingredients are also different per filler, so it can be determined for each treatment which filler best suits that treatment.

What are the side effects and what does aftercare look like?

Common side effects include redness, bruising, and bumps where the injection was. Swelling is also common. Some clients are shocked when they see how their lips look right after the treatment. That is why it is important not to touch your lips, exercise or use makeup on the lips for at least 48 hours after the injection.

The side effects disappear on their own. Holding an ice bag to your lips and drinking well and staying hydrated will help you accelerate this process. For the first seven days, we recommend that you do not consume alcohol or smoke. Smoking ensures that you can dry out part of your lips.

Lip fillers applied, now what?

In addition to a lip filler, many clients also use the jawline treatment. Together, these treatments refresh the contours of your face, beautifully reflecting your inner youth with your appearance.
