Reviews
Who is a candidate for lip fillers?
Restylane and JUVÉDERM are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that naturally occurs in the body. We have an abundance of HA in our younger years, but our bodies tend to produce less of this substance as we age. And when there’s a scarcity of HA, certain parts of our face start to thin out and look less defined. Restylane and JUVÉDERM are designed to replace lost HA and bring back fullness to the lips.
Candidates for lip fillers are over 21 years of age and have reasonable expectations about their results. Restylane and JUVÉDERM provide great outcomes with just one treatment for six months to a year. Because they are non-animal-based products, there is no need for allergy testing.
How long is recovery after lip fillers?
Lip filler results are immediate, which means patients can walk out of our office with fuller and more defined lips. Restylane injections generally last six months, while JUVÉDERM treatments are clinically proven to stay in place for a year. Occasional touch-up sessions at our clinic are required to maintain results.
Restylane and JUVÉDERM are generally well-tolerated by most people. Possible side effects are mild to moderate in nature and last less than a week. These may include temporary skin reactions like redness, tenderness, and bruising. Most side effects can be covered by makeup shortly after your treatment session.
What to expect during lip filler treatment
Restylane and JUVÉDERM are administered directly into the lips using a very fine needle to reduce injection discomfort. Our specialists at Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics may use methods like ice packs and numbing creams to minimize discomfort and potential side effects from lip fillers. Typical dermal filler sessions last less than an hour but do vary depending on the particular needs of each patient in Puyallup, WA.
Lip filler FAQs
How do fillers compare with lip implants?
Implants are made of foreign materials and substances, which means there's a chance your body will reject them. Implants also can be painful to insert and remove, and they cannot always be adjusted if the result isn't what you imagined. Lip fillers are a safer and more effective treatment option for people in Puyallup who want to enhance their lips.
Should I get Restylane or JUVÉDERM?
Restylane and JUVÉDERM are both FDA-approved for lip augmentation. However, our recommendation depends on your skin, cosmetic goals, and the area to be treated. Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics is proud to offer trusted brands that are known to produce natural and long-lasting results. We can provide guidance regarding the most appropriate product and treatment plan for you.
How much do lip fillers cost?
The cost for lip augmentation varies depending on a number of factors, including the type and brand of filler used and how much is used. We can provide a quote after a quick evaluation. Our hope is to provide quality services at an affordable cost. Ask about our easy financing options during your initial lip filler consultation.
Enhance your lips
As we age, our bodies produce less hyaluronic acid, which leads to the thinning of areas like our lips. Restylane and JUVÉDERM lip fillers are an increasingly popular way to add fullness and volume to this area once again. If you want to improve or restore the appearance of your lips, call Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics for an assessment. We can discuss whether injections are a smart option for you in Puyallup, WA.
