Can lip fillers in Coeur d’Alene really provide you with the results you’re looking for? Read on to learn all about the lip injection process and see if this treatment is right for you.
What Leads To Thin Lips?
Some assume that thin lips are entirely genetic. And while it’s true that many people are born with thin lips, there are other factors to consider. Some people lose their voluminous lips over time, as the body produces less collagen.
Collagen is a natural protein that gives tissue its structure. During the natural aging process, the body produces less collagen, resulting in thinner lips.
Smoking may also cause your lips to thin, as the habit can negatively impact collagen production and reduce blood flow to the area. But no matter what the cause is, our filler options provide the volume you need.
See Results With Juvederm
For lip fillers in Coeur d’Alene, we recommend Juvederm. Juvederm is a line of dermal fillers that uses hyaluronic acid to combat dry skin and stimulate collagen for added structure.
When we inject Juvederm into the lips, it increases volume for a noticeable, natural look. There are many different Juvederm formulas on the market, but at NorthLife Aesthetics & Wellness, we prefer Juvederm Ultra XC.
The FDA has approved Juvederm Ultra XC for lip injections and wrinkle treatment. It’s thicker than many of the other available formulas, so it can more effectively change the lips’ shape and increase overall volume.
The formula contains hyaluronic acid, which the body produces naturally to hydrate the skin and lubricate joints. When we inject this formula into dry, aged skin, it can reduce the presence of wrinkles and leave your skin looking healthier than ever.
Different From the Rest
With so many types of filler on the market, you may be wondering why we recommend Juvederm? The answer lies in its smooth, gel-like consistency.
When you receive an aesthetic treatment, you want results people notice, but you also want those results to appear natural. Thanks to the specific texture of Juvederm’s filler, the results of your injections conform more organically to your existing features.
Additionally, the hyaluronic acid compound used in Juvederm is very similar to the acid the body produces naturally, which minimizes the chance of any adverse reactions.
Treating Areas Across the Face
Juvederm is an effective choice for anyone interested in lip fillers in Coeur d’Alene. But Juvederm can do more than add volume to your lips. We also recommend this filler if you want to treat areas like:
Cheeks
If your cheeks become sunken or hollow, then Juvederm injections can help you restore lost volume.
Undereyes
Dark circles beneath the eyes can leave you looking tired at all times of the day, but Juvederm can fill out these areas to give you a more awake appearance.
Jawline
We can also administer injections in the chin or jawline for a more defined profile.
Sitting Down With Our Experts
If you’re interested in lip fillers in Coeur d’Alene, you first need to sit down with our team for a consultation. This meeting is vital to the treatment process.
We want to make sure we are on the same page about your needs, so we go over your aesthetic concerns, treatment expectations, and medical history.
Put simply, the consultation is a fact-finding mission, so we can determine which of our treatments will help you accomplish your aesthetic goals. Once we gather all the information we need, we can get started on your treatment.
Filling Your Lips
Following your consultation, we can administer lip fillers in Coeur d’Alene. The injection process is quite smooth. First, a member of our team has you comfortably take a seat in a treatment chair and cleans the treatment area.
Next, your provider makes careful, targeted injections, ensuring your filler complements your features. Depending on which aesthetic concerns you’d like to address, the treatment session may take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes.
After we finish administering the injections, you’re free to go. Put yourself first for an hour and treat yourself to a self-care treatment that enhances your confidence.
Some patients need follow-up treatments to see complete results, while others only need a single session for their desired outcome. Your treatment plan depends on your body and your goals.
Are Fillers Painful?
You shouldn’t experience any serious pain while receiving lip fillers in Coeur d’Alene. You may feel a short pinch as we make the injection, but it shouldn’t be so pronounced that you feel compelled to pause or end the treatment, but if you do need to pause, let us know.
You may experience some irritation in the days following your treatment. Some patients’s lips feel sore for anywhere from 12 to 24 hours after their treatment session, but this should abate on its own.
The Side Effects of Lip Fillers
You shouldn’t need to take any dedicated downtime following your lip filler injections. That said, you may experience some minor side effects in the days after your session. Some patients notice swelling and bruising in the treatment area. This typically lasts 24 to 48 hours but can last up to a week.
To lessen the intensity of these side effects, keep your head elevated and apply a cold compress to the treatment area. Avoid pressure on treated areas (e.g., no face-down sleeping) for 1-2 weeks. Limit exercise, alcohol, and heat for 24-48 hours. If you experience any swelling, apply a cold compress to the treatment area. Stay hydrated to support hyaluronic acid fillers.
If you have any questions during the recovery process, reach out to our team. We’re always happy to provide you with the guidance you need to heal as effectively as possible.
Luscious Lips That Last
When you receive lip fillers in Coeur d’Alene, you can experience results that last. Patients can generally enjoy the effects of their lip fillers for anywhere from 6 months to 1 year before needing a follow-up. However, the results may vary from person to person.
If you notice your lips thinning out again, contact our team for a maintenance appointment. We can schedule regular maintenance sessions to ensure you enjoy the results of your lip fillers indefinitely.
Additional Injectable Options
Juvederm lip fillers in Coeur d’Alene can provide satisfying results for patients looking to enhance their features, but they’re not the only injectables we offer. Before you sit down with our team for a consultation, consider some of the other injectable treatments we can perform at NorthLife Aesthetics & Wellness.
EZGel
EZGel is another filler we offer to combat signs of aging, like loss of volume and crow’s feet. Unlike Juvederm, EZGel uses the patient’s own blood to provide results. When someone comes in for a treatment with EZGel, we take a sample of their blood and spin it in a centrifuge.
This separates beneficial materials, like platelet-rich fibrin, from the rest of the blood. We then mix those materials to create a gel-like substance and inject into the treatment area. The growth factors in the gel help repair damaged skin, leaving the patient with a fresh, youthful look.
Botox
Botox is a top choice for patients interested in combating wrinkles and reducing fine lines. Millions of people all over the world have chosen this injectable neuromodulator to rejuvenate their appearance.
Botox works with the help of botulinum toxin (which is where the treatment gets its name). Scientists dilute and modify this naturally occurring toxin so that it relaxes the muscles in the face.
Many wrinkles form as a result of exaggerated, repeated facial expressions, so when we relax the muscles, the wrinkles relax as well. Our providers modify the amount of Botox we administer based on your specific goals and the severity of your wrinkles, so you can see results without a frozen expression.
Get Lips You Can’t Wait to Pucker
Don’t spend anymore time trying to accentuate your thin lips with makeup. Thanks to lip filler injections from our team at NorthLife Aesthetics & Wellness, we can transform your features for a look you love.
To get started with lip fillers, or one of our other injectable treatments, like Botox, sit down with our team for a consultation. By going over your skin concerns for ourselves, we can make the best treatment recommendation possible. You can also take advantage of our free online treatment builder.
Just fill out the digital questionnaire, and our team will reach out with a custom treatment recommendation tailored to your needs. The planner only takes a few minutes to complete, so set aside some time and get the plump, full lips you’ve always wanted.
