What You Need to Know About Lip Fillers

Lip filler at LH Spa and Rejuvenation

Lip fillers are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments today, and for a good reason. Whether you want to enhance your natural pout, restore volume, or achieve a more balanced look, lip fillers can deliver stunning, personalized results. At LH Spa and Rejuvenation in Livingston and Madison, NJ, we specialize in providing high-quality treatments tailored to your unique aesthetic goals.

What Are Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers are injectable treatments designed to enhance the volume and shape of your lips. Most fillers use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, to provide plumpness and hydration. Brands like Juvéderm and Restylane are commonly used for their proven safety and effectiveness.

How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?

A common question we receive is, “How long does a lip filler last?” On average, lip fillers last 6 to 12 months, depending on the product used, your metabolism, and how well you care for your lips post-treatment. At LH Spa and Rejuvenation, we use high-quality fillers designed to provide lasting, beautiful results.

To maximize the longevity of your lip fillers:

  • Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure and use SPF.
  • Follow your provider’s aftercare instructions.

The Treatment Process

Lip filler appointments at LH Spa are quick and convenient. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Consultation: Discuss your goals with one of our experts to create a customized treatment plan.
  2. Preparation: A topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.
  3. Injection: Using a precise technique, we inject the filler to enhance your lips’ volume and shape.
  4. Post-Treatment Care: We provide aftercare guidance to ensure optimal results.

Most clients see immediate results, with minimal swelling that subsides within a few days.

Lip Filler Aftercare: Maximizing Results at Home

Proper aftercare is crucial to achieving the best results from your lip filler treatment. Here’s what you need to know:

Immediately After Your Appointment:

  1. Avoid Touching Your Lips: Refrain from touching, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated area for at least 24 hours unless instructed otherwise.
  2. Stay Upright: Avoid lying down for the first 4 hours after your treatment to prevent migration of the filler.
  3. Apply Cold Compresses: If you experience swelling or tenderness, use a clean cold compress (never directly on the skin) for relief.

In the First 24–48 Hours:

  1. Avoid Alcohol and Blood Thinners: Steer clear of alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood-thinning medications, as they can increase bruising.
  2. Skip Vigorous Exercise: Avoid intense workouts that increase blood flow to the face, as this can worsen swelling.
  3. Limit Sun and Heat Exposure: Stay out of the sun, tanning beds, or saunas to prevent inflammation.

Long-Term Maintenance:

  1. Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps hyaluronic acid fillers maintain their plumping effect.
  2. Use Lip-Friendly Skincare: Apply a gentle, hydrating lip balm with SPF to protect your lips from dryness and sun damage.
  3. Avoid Smoking: Smoking can break down filler more quickly and negatively impact results.
