Frequently Asked Questions
The dermal fillers we use at ICCM are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally occurring substance found in the body and essential for healthy skin. The product is slowly metabolised and broken down naturally by the body over time.
There are permanent fillers available, but these need to be synthetic, which can lead to more risks like an infection.
Side effects related to lip injections are mostly temporary and expected, like bruising and swelling. The practice of injecting dermal fillers into the lips is relatively safe, with more significant risks more relevant to fillers elsewhere in the face.
The techniques we use during your lip treatment include:
- Ice: Pain and temperature sensation travel along the same nerve pathway. When we use ice on your lips and skin before the dermal injections you will feel less pain.
- Local anaesthetic cream: Before your lip injections, we can apply local anaesthetic cream to your skin to help numb the area and reduce discomfort.
- Combining local anaesthetic and lip fillers: Our fillers come with local anaesthetic agents already built in which will also help you feel less sting while the product is injected.
It will be best if you stay out of the gym for at least 24 hours after lip enhancements. It is recommended that you avoid activities that increase blood flow to your face, like a massage as it will add to the swelling.
No, the length of time your lip fillers will last is dependent on a number of different factors which change for each patient. Your body is in control of the natural breakdown process; this is out of your and our hands. However, drinking plenty of H2O will enhance the results of your filler treatment. Remember, hyaluronic acid holds 1000x its weight in water; so stay hydrated!
