Dermal fillers are constantly surging in popularity, and it’s easy to understand why. With February being the month of love, we want to always look our best. Whether you are planning an outing with your gals on Galentine’s Day or a hot date for Valentine’s, the most obvious feature of your face should look beautiful and plump.
Indeed, you can be creative with some lip liner and a pop of color, but why not strive for an easier-to-achieve natural look? Lip fillers offer you months of volume, meaning you shouldn’t need to struggle as much with makeup. In this blog, you’ll learn more about fillers and why they are a must-have for Valentine’s Day!
What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are gel-like injectable products often made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that naturally occurs in the body. HA is a humectant, which means it can retain water and bond with particles over a thousand times its weight. This quality allows the filler to add volume and hydration while maintaining a natural look and feel.
The most popular dermal filler for the lips is JUVEDERM® VOLBELLA XC, but different versions of this product can also be used for the rest of the face. Most people use the product to treat static wrinkles and add more contour to the face, reducing visible signs of aging.
Why Get Lip Fillers for Valentine’s Day?
Lip fillers are popular year-round, but there are a few reasons why people prefer them around Valentine’s Day. These include the following:
1. They Add to Your Natural Beauty
Lip fillers are all about natural beauty, meaning your lips should not look like they’ve been “done.” The subtle improvements can make your features look more defined and polished without changing the shape. Fillers can be used to add more volume and improve lip symmetry, offering a harmonious and vibrant look.
2. They Offer Quick Results
The gel-like formula of lip fillers provides the impression of volume right after the treatment. However, when the gel is absorbed, the HA molecules begin settling and attracting water. You should reach peak results within a few days, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
3. They Give a Confidence Boost
When your lips are more defined, you can’t help but feel more confident and attractive. Whether you are restoring lost volume or correcting natural asymmetries, lip fillers can bring your best self forward.
4. They Increase Hydration
Lip fillers don’t just add volume; they restore moisture as well. This is particularly important in the colder months when the lips become dry. By getting the treatment, you won’t have to reach out for lip balm as often (although it is still recommended to care for your lips).
What to Expect During the Treatment?
Lip fillers are minimally invasive procedures that usually take less than 30 minutes to administer, making them the perfect lunchtime treatment. No prior preparation is necessary, although you may want to come with clean lips in the office. Still, don’t worry if you have lipstick on because our providers will clean and prep the area before treatment.
A numbing agent can be applied to the lips if you have high sensitivity to needles, but the “XC” in the formula stands for lidocaine. This means that once the injectable is administered, you should feel minimal discomfort as the product settles. The injection sites are carefully chosen so that you can obtain the desired volume and shape.
Don’t be concerned if you feel some swelling and bruising after getting the treatment, as this is a normal reaction to the needle puncturing the skin. These side effects should fade quickly and rarely get in the way of your activities. You can apply some ice packs in a pinch, but the numbing agent in the formula should keep you comfortable.
