Everyone wants the perfect pout and now it’s relatively simple to get gorgeous luscious lips. Narrowing or thinning of the lips is one of the most obvious signs of ageing, yet it is also one of the simplest problems to solve.
We usually recommend injecting filler material such as hyaluronic acid fillers only. These are non-permanent fillers that eventually dissolve in the body as permanent fillers give many complications after. Fillers can be injected into one or both lips and also along the upper edge to define the Cupid’s bow.
The Good Filler Guide
A filler rather sounds like something you’d expect from a DIY shop, doesn’t it? Well, actually, that’s not so far from the truth. Just as you can plug gaps in your walls and woodwork with various fillers, so the creases and crevices of your face be be, shall we say, smoothed with clever new dermal fillers. These are, simply put, materials that we inject or insert into the skin wherever it needs to be plumped up or firmed. They can fill in wrinkles, lines, folds and furrows but can also give a youthful plumpness to saggy cheeks or thinning lips. They can also give you ‘cheekbones’ or subtly alter the shape of your face.
Fillers – Hyaluronic Acid
These days, good Aesthetic Clinic Dubai practitioners only use Hyaluronic Acid: a polysaccharide (a natural forming sugar) that exists in the body where its most important role is carrying water, providing volume and flexibility to the skin. It also has a vital role in cell growth.
Be aware of
Bad quality fillers because that leads to many future complications, also counterfeit products. It’s important to visit a good establishment who will look after you ethically. Price should not be the only deciding factor.
Also, please DO NOT USE permanent fillers as that leads to many future issues arising including continual infections. They also react to new fillers and leave a lifetime of complications.
