What are lip fillers made of?

Lip fillers are typically made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and add volume to the skin.

How long does a lip filler treatment take?

A lip filler treatment session at Oracle Clinics usually takes between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the extent of the enhancement desired.

How soon will I see results after the treatment?

Results from lip filler treatments are visible almost immediately. However, it may take a few days for swelling to subside and the final results to fully appear.

How long do the effects of lip fillers last?

The effects of lip fillers generally last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual metabolic factors.

Are there any side effects of lip filler treatments?

Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within a few days.

Is the lip filler procedure painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, as a numbing agent is applied to the treatment area to ensure comfort.

Can I go back to work after a lip filler treatment?

Yes, most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat for 24 hours.

How should I prepare for my lip filler appointment?

To prepare for your lip filler appointment, avoid taking blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin and fish oil for at least a week before the treatment. Inform your practitioner of any medical conditions or allergies.

Lip fillers

What are lip fillers?

Lip fillers are injectable gels composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body.

At Oracle Clinics, we use FDA-approved fillers like Juvederm, which is renowned for their safety and effectiveness. These fillers help plump and shape the lips, offering natural-looking results that enhance your facial features.

Before Your Treatment

Before your lip filler treatment at Oracle Clinics, it is essential to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced practitioners. During this consultation:

We will discuss your goals and expectations.
Our practitioner will assess your lips and overall facial structure to determine the most suitable treatment plan.
We will explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have.

Additionally, it’s important to:

Avoid taking blood-thinning medications and supplements like aspirin and fish oil before your appointment.
Inform your practitioner about any allergies or medical conditions you have.
Plan for some downtime after the procedure, as swelling and bruising are common but temporary side effects.

DURING THE TREATMENT

On the day of your lip filler treatment at Oracle Clinics:

Your practitioner will cleanse the treatment area and may apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort.
Using fine needles, the filler will be injected strategically into your lips to achieve the desired shape and volume.
The procedure typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the extent of enhancement desired.

Throughout the treatment, our practitioners prioritise your comfort and safety, adhering to strict hygiene and procedural protocols.

After your lip filler treatment, it’s crucial to follow these aftercare tips to optimise results:

Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort.
Avoid touching or pressing on your lips excessively.
Stay hydrated to support the healing process of hyaluronic acid.
Attend any follow-up appointments scheduled with us to monitor your progress and ensure satisfaction with your results.

Potential side effects

While lip fillers are generally safe, they may involve temporary side effects such as:

Swelling and bruising at the injection site.
Mild discomfort or tenderness.
Rarely, allergic reactions or asymmetry.

Our practitioners are trained to minimise risks and manage any complications effectively. We prioritise your safety and satisfaction throughout your treatment journey.

Choosing lip fillers at Oracle Clinics means choosing expertise, safety, and natural results. Whether you’re seeking subtle enhancement or a more defined look, our practitioners are dedicated to achieving your desired outcome.
