So, you’re ready to take the plunge and get lip injections to achieve that plump look you’ve always wanted. Now you’re probably wondering about longer lasting lip filler, so you can enjoy silky smooth and full lips for as long as possible. Let’s get right to it!
Which Lip Fillers Last the Longest?
Luckily, you have options when it comes to lip fillers! Brands like Juvéderm and Restylane offer multiple products for lip injections, allowing customization based on your cosmetic goals.
Your top options include:
- Juvéderm Ultra XC: Juvéderm Ultra XC is formulated with synthetic hyaluronic acid, or HA, a substance that naturally occurs in the body. On average, results from Juvéderm Ultra XC can last between six to 12 months or longer.
- Juvéderm Volbella XC: Volbella XC is specifically designed for subtle lip augmentation and the treatment of perioral lines. It contains Vycross technology, which results in a smooth, natural looking outcome. Typically, the effects of Juvéderm Volbella XC last up to 12 months.
- Restylane Kysse: A hyaluronic acid filler, Kysse is specifically formulated for lip augmentation using XpresHAn technology. It is known for its flexibility and natural feel. Results from Restylane Kysse can last up to 9 to 12 months, with some individuals experiencing prolonged effects.
- Restylane Silk: For subtle lip enhancement and the smoothing of fine lines around the mouth, Silk is the choice product. It’s formulated with smaller, smoother particles of hyaluronic acid. This allows for precise results that look au naturale. Typically, the effects of Restylane Silk last six to 12 months.
The longevity of lip fillers depends on a number of variables. For example, the specific product used, lifestyle factors, the amount injected, and your individual metabolism. So, it’s important to note that individual responses vary. Additionally, maintenance treatments are needed to sustain results over time. Your injector can provide personalized recommendations. These are based on your aesthetic goals and specific needs.
For Longer Lasting Lip Filler, Follow These Tips
Your provider will offer comprehensive post-lip filler aftercare instructions to maintain your luscious look for as long as possible. However, you should also consider these key points:
- Select an experienced injector. Opt for a licensed healthcare professional with certification in filler injections. Your provider’s expertise significantly impacts the quality and safety of your results.
- Follow provider advice diligently. Pay attention to all the guidance they give you. In fact, even seemingly minor tips contribute to the outcome.
- Minimize sun exposure. Protect your lips (and other exposed parts of the body) from the sun’s harmful UV rays. You can do so by applying sunscreen regularly when spending time outdoors. Don’t forget to apple sunscreen even on cloudy days.
- Manage stress levels. Elevated cortisol levels caused by stress accelerate the breakdown of filler. Practicing stress-reduction techniques can help you maintain your lip enhancement results.
- Exercise wisely. While staying active is beneficial for overall health, intense workouts can potentially lead to faster breakdown of lip filler. Consider balancing exercise intensity with your aesthetic goals.
- Maintain a healthy diet. Avoid inflammatory foods that may compromise the longevity of your lip filler. Consume a balanced diet to support optimal skin health.
- Stay hydrated. Adequate hydration is crucial for maintaining lip filler results. Drink plenty of water and other hydrating beverages.
- Quit smoking. Smoking is bad for your overall health and can make your swelling and bruising last longer. However, it also increases the risk of filler migration, where the filler moves to unintended areas. Plus, the added mouth movement from smoking or vaping can shorten the longevity of the effects of filler.
By incorporating these strategies into your post-lip filler routine, you can improve longevity and overall effectiveness for an amazing outcome you’ll love to show off!
