Lip Fillers in Dubai – Lip Augmentation

As we age, the skin tends to lose its elasticity due to the reduced production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring compound in the body. As a result, fine lines and wrinkles start to appear, and the lips also lose their volume. However, lip fillers in Dubai can effectively address these concerns, enhancing the lips’ overall appearance without a prolonged recovery period.

What are Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers are a non-surgical cosmetic procedure involving the injection of filler material—synthetic hyaluronic acid (HA)—into the lips to increase their volume and give them a fuller appearance. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, making it the most preferred choice for lip fillers. Lip fillers can make your lips look more attractive, defined, and plumped without the need for surgical incisions. There are many brands of lip fillers available on the market, including Juvederm®, Restylane®, and Restylane Lyft®. At Euromed Clinic, we use FDA-approved Juvederm and other bio-fillers whose usage is approved by Dubai Health Authority (DHA).

Lip Augmentation Techniques

Experts use different techniques to perform Lip Augmentation. The following two methods are used more commonly:

Hyaluronic Acid Lip Fillers

Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most popular and appropriate fillers used for Lip Augmentation. They improve the overall appearance of your lips by adding volume, shape, and structure. These lip fillers offer quick and natural-looking results that are not permanent. The results of lip fillers can last for up to six months. Therefore, you will require maintenance injections to retain the volume of your lips.  

Russian Lip Fillers

Russian lip fillers are an advanced technique used for Lip Augmentation. It is suitable for individuals who want to improve the shape of their lips without adding more volume. During the treatment, fillers are injected vertically into the center of the lips, accentuating the cupid’s bow and making it appear like a heart. Russian lip filler technique adds volume only to the center of the lips and not to the sides giving your lips a lifted appearance. 

Fotona 4D Lip Augmentation 

Fotona 4D is an advanced non-invasive technique that uses lasers for lip augmentation. It aims to tighten and volumize your lips while reducing wrinkles. Fotona 4D technology combines four different modes, including SmoothLiftin™, FRAC3, PIANO, and Superficial™. It allows you to get a highly personalized treatment according to your facial anatomy. 

What to Expect During the Lip Fillers Treatment?

During the lip filler procedure, a numbing cream will be applied to the target area by our supporting nurse to ensure your comfort during the injection. After that, our dermatologist will proceed with your desired lip filler technique, strategically injecting the fillers into your lips. The practitioner will ensure that the fillers are evenly distributed without causing lumps. The entire procedure can last up to 30 minutes. Once it is done, your lips will be evaluated to ensure the best results and to address any immediate concerns.

What to Expect After the Treatment?

Right after the treatment, you will be allowed to go home, given that the recovery period after lip fillers tends to be brief. However, you may expect some swelling in the lip area which will subside within a couple of days to a week or two. That’s why, if you are planning to get prepare for a function, such as wedding, shooting, or modelling, you need to done with your lip fillers at least two weeks before the scheduled day. Moreover, your doctor will guide you about the dos and don’ts of the lip fillers, which generally include:

• Avoid applying cosmetic products to lips for a week
• Let the filler integrate with your lip tissue and not indulge in any intimate relation with your partner for at least 1-2 days. 
• Avoid repeating the lip-biting habit so that the fillers can reach and settle in the desired area.

Lip Filler Treatment Results

The results of lip fillers are immediate, and people can achieve their desired look after just one session. However, in some cases, a follow-up session may be required. To maintain the results, dermatologists recommend repeating the treatment as soon as the lips begin to lose volume again.

How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?

The longevity of lip fillers varies among individuals, given that every person has a different metabolism and lifestyle. On average, lip fillers tend to last anywhere between 12–18 months; however, some people may notice the effects of fillers wearing off before the expected duration. In a nutshell, people with a fast metabolism, particularly young individuals, and those with poor lifestyle habits can expect shorter-lasting results compared to those who stay hydrated, avoid excessive sun exposure, and maintain a balanced lifestyle with minimal stress.
