Botox Toronto-Lip Flip vs Lip Fillers

by

Botox Toronto Botox Lip Flip vs. Lip Filler

Trying to decide between a Botox Lip Flip or Lip Fillers? There are distinct differences between these two treatments that may help you decide.
The Botox Lip Flip is quickly becoming the most requested procedure for women. A Botox lip flip is a nonsurgical procedure that can help people achieve a fuller upper lip without dermal filler.
The Lip flip involves only a small amount of Botox. Injections are made into the muscled area just above your top lip. Botox relaxes the muscle and the lip rolls out revealing more of the natural pink.
This creates the illusion of more volume and will stop the top lip from moving up too far when smiling. The added benefit is that a Botox Lip Flip can be done quickly with little to no bruising. A Botox lip flip will last up to 2 months and can be repeated when needed.
Lip fillers like Juvederm or Teosyal are injected directly into the meat of the lips to add volume and definition. Lip fillers are Hylauronic acid based and plump up the lips to help enhance or change the shape of your lips, and improve symmetry. Lip fillers can last up to 2 years and can be repeated as needed.
Deciding between a Botox lip flip and Lip Filler can be tricky, but choosing the proper practitioner can help you make the right choice. At Lasting Looks Clinic we will advise you on which treatment would be most beneficial for your needs.

Dermal Fillers Toronto- Collagen Production

by

Dermal Fillers Toronto Collagen Production

There are many benefits to having dermal fillers. The most common is of course to counteract volume loss.

Areas such as cheeks, nasal folds, and lips can all get a boost of volume bringing back a youthful appearance.

Another benefit is that dermal fillers can help to boost collagen production and growth.

As we age our skin loses elasticity and collagen. When dermal fillers are injected into a desired area, a patient naturally observes the initial age defying results, such as more fullness, contour etc. They also notice that when they return to be re-injected they have stronger collagen than before.

Dermal filler injections help to stimulate your body’s own collagen production. When an injection is made in the skin, the body will naturally produce collagen to heal the area. When fibroblasts (cells that synthesize collagen) are stretched they will secrete more collagen to aid in the healing process.

In addition temporary dermal fillers contain Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance within the body that is metabolized over time. Hyaluronic Acid is a key component to youthful looking skin.

Lip Fillers Toronto – Cold Sores

by

Lip Fillers Toronto Cold Sores
Beautiful lips are always a confidence booster, but a cold sore is anything but.

Have you ever experienced a cold sore after having lip filler injections; there is a connection between the two.

Cold sores are tiny blisters caused by the herpes simplex virus. Cold sores can appear on or around the lips brought on by stress and overindulgence of certain foods or caffeine.
Cold sores may take days to even weeks to heal.

A patient that is prone to cold sores will often have flare-ups after receiving lip fillers.
This is mainly due to the stress caused from multiple injections around the mouth triggering and awakening the virus.

Patients that experience cold sores may have a flare up after having lip fillers. There are precautions that a patient can take in order to minimize the risk of having a cold sore brought on.

Taking an antiviral medication like Zovorax or Valtrex a week before any lip filler treatment can help.

Even if a patient is not experiencing a cold sore before their scheduled lip filler appointment, it is always best to take L-Lysine in higher doses a few days prior. This can be purchased over the counter and taken orally.

Taking the needed precautions will mean a patient can enjoy their new lips without having to worry.

Lip Fillers Toronto-How Big Will My Lips Get?

by

Lip Fillers Toronto-How Big Will My Lips Get?

Lip Fillers are specially designed to add definition and volume to the lips, however many first time patients worry that lip fillers will add too much volume and that their lips will be overly done..

Although lip fillers do add fullness, one appointment will not leave a patient with huge lips.

A practitioner will work with a patient to achieve their desired result. Any professional’s goal for lip fillers or any cosmetic procedure is to enhance a patient’s appearance while still maintaining a natural look..

This means even if you want bigger lips a practitioner will recommend that this be done gradually for a good result.

No need to worry about accidentally coming out of an appointment with massive lips.

Generally a professional injector will either recommend a minimum of one syringe with a top up in a few weeks or just one syringe properly distributed in the lip area to new patients. Patients with thinner lips may only need one syringe.

Lips are delicate and will swell when they are injected, this is normal and swelling will go down quickly after your appointment.

Doing multiple syringes on swollen lips will hinder an injector in evaluating how the lip filler is distributing in the lip area. They will ask the patient to arrange another appointment after two weeks to see if more filler is needed.

Very important for an ethical injector is to tell the patient in their professional opinion that patient has had enough lip filler for a natural full look.

Different lip fillers can also factor into the size and shape of the lips.

Patients wanting a little more “oomph” and  fullness to their lips may prefer Teosyal Kiss whereas patients looking for some volume but a more subtle look may prefer Juvederm Volbella.

If you are considering lip filler there is no need to worry that your lips will be too big. Take your time and consult with a professional practitioner with lots of experience. Tell them your concerns and what you would like to see in your lips.

Lasting Looks Clinic located in Toronto staffs practitioners with over 19 years of experience. We invite you to visit our website for more information about lip fillers and augmentation. It’s still your lips just enhanced!

Lip Fillers Toronto with Cannulas

by

Lip Fillers Toronto Cannulas
Considering getting lip fillers but worried about the bruising; have no fear!

Lip fillers can be done using the Cannula Technique.

What is the Cannula Technique?

Cannulas are blunt tips that are used to administer lip fillers into the desired area while reducing the amount of trauma to the lip, thus lessening the potential of bruising.

Lips fillers are typically injected using needles in multiple targeted areas. As needles pass through and pierce the mucosal tissue of the lip, there is a higher chance of bruising. Multiple needle injection points can result in a higher likelihood of bruising and swelling, forcing some to take time off work.

Using a cannula instead for lip filler decreases the risk of bleeding and bruising, often with less pain, and minimal downtime.

A needle is required to make an entry point for the cannula so that it can pass through the skin without injuring any veins. Then the cannula can pass through the entry point to the desired area. The cannula can re-enter the same entry point for any modifications without the need for another injection site.

Botox Toronto- Lip Flip Realistic Expectations

by

Botox Toronto Lip-Flip Realistic Expectations
A question often asked is: Will the Botox Lip Flip give more volume to my lips?
The answer is no.

The Botox lip flip takes your existing lips and simply turns your lips upwards and outwards, revealing more of your lip.

The Botox lip flip should not be confused with adding volume to your lips. Your existing lips are injected with Botox only to the superficial layers of the muscle on the upper and lower lip.
Once the Botox starts to work, you will notice that the top lip will gently roll out, creating a subtle, sexy pout and the illusion of added volume.

If your desire is to have fuller lips, then dermal fillers are right for you. Dermal fillers are made of hylauronic acid which is naturally produced in your body and can add volume, accentuate the lip line, or create a more defined cupid’s bow. Lip fillers such as Juvederm or Teosyal can last anywhere between 6 months to 2 years.

Botox will wear off after 3-4 months and can be repeated when needed.

Lip Filler Toronto-How Long Between Lip injections?

by

Lip Filler Toronto-How Long Between Lip injections

You’ve had your first lip injection treatment 3 months ago and now you would like more.
Most patients after seeing the initial results of a lip injection are eager to know when they can have more lip filler.
How long should a patient wait before they have more lip injections?
If the patient requires more volume, touch ups can be done after 2 weeks.
If no touch-up is needed, patients who have had lip injections should wait 4 to 6 months before having their lips re-injected.
How long Lip Fillers will last varies from patient to patient, as it depends on a patient’s metabolism and how fast the body breaks down the Lip Filler.
Different Lip Fillers will dissolve quicker than others. Lip injections generally breakdown more than other areas such as to the nasolabial folds or cheeks.
Lip fillers such as Juvederm or Teosyal are comprised of Hyaluronic acid which is naturally produced in the body. Lip Fillers that contain Hyaluronic acid prompt the skin to produce more collagen, which creates a more natural plumpness to the lips.
Some patients may experience mild bruising or swelling but this will subside over a few days following treatment.
Patients are able to see partial results immediately after lip injections but final results take up to two weeks. Allow enough time between lip injections treatments so you can see the full results and decide if you need more.

Lip Fillers Toronto- After They Break Down

by

Lip Fillers Toronto After They Break DownLip fillers such a Juvederm, Teosyal and Restylane are only temporary dermal fillers, lasting anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.

Once lip fillers break down, the body will naturally and easily metabolize the lip filler  and lips  will gradually return to their original shape.

The breakdown of lip injections will not happen overnight since lip fillers can stimulate the production of the body’s own collagen which can lengthen the longevity of lip fillers.

If you’ve been getting lip fillers for years and have decided to take a break, be aware that although your lips will return to their original shape, the aging process will still continue to take place.
