Not all people are blessed with Angelina Jolie’s puffed lips or Kylie Jenner’s “natural” lips. Some people have naturally full lips, but with age, our lips can thin out and wrinkles can begin to form around our mouths. With lip enhancement, you can get more definition in your lips and regain your youthful fullness that will really increase your self-confidence.

The lip area is injected with a soft filler to give fullness. The whole procedure takes about 30 minutes and can be used to deal with a whole variety of inadequacies such as “smoking lines”, wrinkled lips or to mark the “cupid’s arch” (V-shaped top of the upper lip). This relatively simple and non-surgical procedure provides an interesting alternative for those who need a rapid improvement to the lower part of the face. This is a treatment that is ideal for those women who have lost fullness in their lips due to aging (we lose 50% of our lip volume at age 50) or for those women who feel the need to improve the natural size and shape of their lips.

There are two options for treatment with lip filler:

Forming – which means that you spray thin linear lines of soft skin filler superficially over the “vermillion limit” that surrounds the lips. This is perfect for you with small shapes and lines or if you just want to raise the tones of the lines that already exist.
Volume – which means that you inject deeper into the “wet-dry” boundaries of the lip to add substance to the entire lip, which can even create a “soft-put” when fillers are injected centrally. Volumization can also be combined with design to create form and volume at the same time.

Why do we treat lips with fillers?

Some people have been blessed with genetically plump lips. Then there are individuals who are born with naturally thin lips, and others who lose volume and get wrinkles around the lips with age (we lose 50% of our lip volume by the age of 50). Fortunately, treatment with lip fillers is an option for those who want to add volume, moisture and definition to the lips and restore their youthful fullness. Lip fillers are one of the most popular and sought-after treatments in the industry, largely due to celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Kylie Jenner.

How do we treat lips with fillers?

The lips are prepared before treatment with anesthetic for maximum comfort. The lip area is then injected with a soft gel-like filler to add fullness, tackle ‘smoke lines’, puckered lips and to highlight the cupid’s bow (V-shaped top of the upper lip).

There are two options for treatment with lip fillers:

Shaping – Thin linear strokes of soft filler are placed superficially over the “vermillion border” surrounding the lips. The technique is perfect for those who want to create or improve the shape of the lips with natural results.

Volumization – Involves placing filler deeper and more centrally in the lip to create volume and plumpness. In our Lip Masterclass, additional injection techniques are used in combination to create, for example, heart-shaped lips with both shape and volume.

The result is seen immediately, albeit slightly swollen and lasts 6-12 months depending on the individual. Models at Derma Medical can expect the same high quality of products and results as in salons/clinics, but at the same time save over 50% on the treatment price.

It was a very informative training day with plenty of live models to get experience injecting all afternoon. It was very well organised and very interactive. Zack was on-hand to answer any questions I had, and the employment part of the day was very useful.
