Lip fillers is one of the aesthetic treatments that are instantaneous, you get lips that have a better contour, a more defined appearance, and some extra volume and plumpness. The best part is that these results are not permanent so they can be reversed immediately if required, so you can have peace of mind that if you are not happy with your new look you can go back to your normal appearance.

Lip fillers are Hyaluronic Acid. This is an incredibly safe substance that is naturally found in the human body that increases moisturization levels in the skin, giving a rejuvenated and refreshed look. Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant, a substance that retains moisture and it is capable of binding over one thousand times its weight in water. This substance is naturally found in many areas of the human body, including the skin, eyes, and synovial fluid of the joints. HA used in beauty and skincare products is primarily made by bacteria in a lab via a process called biofermentation. As we age, the production of key substances in the skin, including hyaluronic acid (along with collagen and elastin) decreases. As a result, our skin loses volume, hydration, and plumpness.

Fillers are not permanent. How long they last depends on things like the type of filler and where it’s injected. They usually last between 6 and 18 months. If you’re thinking about having dermal fillers, be clear about why you want them.

Having dermal fillers is usually safe if it’s done by an experienced and suitably qualified practitioner.

Check the person doing your dermal fillers is on a medical register to show they meet set standards in training, skill and insurance.

Avoid practitioners who have only completed a short training course.

Book a consultation before you have the procedure.

Ask about:

• the practitioner’s experience and qualifications
• the name of the product and how and where it’s made
• any risks or possible side effects
• what will happen if things go wrong
• what insurance cover they have

Consultations are FREE at Ciao Bella Aesthetics and are ONLY undertaken by suitably medically trained nurses, so you know that you are in safe hands.
