When you look in the mirror and smile at yourself, do you sometimes find yourself wishing that your lips were just that little bit plumper? Your lipstick would look that bit more polished on a pair of cushioned lips that look perfectly pouty. For a natural enhancement to your smile, lip fillers Kent are offered here at Stangrove Court Dental Practice.
What are lip fillers Kent?
Lip fillers come under the umbrella of dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid gels that are made from non-animal sources. Our bodies naturally produce hyaluronic acid and it is what keeps the skin soft and supple, looking youthful. But over time, the production of this important element decreases and skin can develop unwanted fine lines and wrinkles. By using fillers, it replaces the hyaluronic acid that has been lost and rejuvenates the skin. In the case of lip fillers, it plumps them up and enhances them.
Why should I consider lip fillers Kent at Stangrove Court Dental Practice?
At Stangrove Court Dental Practice, we have been established for over 40 years and our facial aesthetics expert, Dipen Patel, has been studying and working in facial aesthetics for over 13 years. He is currently studying for an MA in the field and is updated on the latest procedures and techniques. He is passionate about helping patients to achieve a youthful glow and giving them increased confidence as they leave the practice.
Lip fillers are non-surgical and simply involve injecting hyaluronic acid gel into the lips. The treatment is quick and painless – you will be given local anaesthetic before the treatment takes place. On average, treatment should only last 5-10 minutes, so you can pop in for a treatment in your lunch break and be back in the office with your latte and sandwich very quickly.
Are there any risks to consider?
While we offer free consultations to discuss any treatments you are considering on having and where we can advise you on an individual basis, generally speaking the side effects should only be some swelling, redness, bruising and tenderness, but this shouldn’t last.
How long do they last for?
Lip fillers should last for between 6-12 months before you need to have any further treatment. Unlike other areas treated with fillers, the mouth is moving a lot more and this is why this treatment doesn’t last as long as on other parts of the body. However, the treatment is quick and easy to have again to ensure you don’t lose your youthful look! This can be seen as a life change and as such, it becomes routine for many of our patients to see us once or twice a year to keep on top of the results they love for their look.
