Are you unhappy with the way your lips look? If they’re thinner than you’d like, asymmetrical, or they don’t have the definition you wish that you had, then at Laser Aesthetics Body & Wellness in Cordova, TN, our Juvederm Ultra treatments can give you the plump, youthful lips you’ve been wanting.
How Long Does Juvederm Ultra Last?
Full, plump lips can help you appear more youthful and provide you with a more inviting appearance. On the other hand, having super thin lips can age your appearance a lot and make you look serious and severe. Whether you’ve had thin lips your whole life, or aging has made you lost volume in the mouth area, having super thin lips can make you feel self-conscious about the way you look.
If you’re looking for a way to fill in your lips and make them look fuller and healthier, then Juvederm Ultra could be the perfect solution for you. One of the major benefits of receiving this treatment is how long-lasting it is. When you get this filler, you can expect to enjoy your results for up to a year.
What Is Juvederm Ultra?
This is part of a line of dermal fillers that use hyaluronic acid as their base ingredient. They are all designed to be long-lasting and help you maintain a fuller, more youthful appearance.
Ultra is specifically designed to add volume to your lips. It’s natural to lose fullness in your lips with age as your body starts to produce less collagen and is unable to maintain its own levels of hyaluronic acid. By helping you plump your lips, you’ll find that you have a much more youthful appearance.
What Does the Hyaluronic Acid Do?
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar that you can find in various places in your body. It’s present in your connective tissues, your eyes, and, yes, in your skin. This sugar is responsible for a few things, including maintaining your skin’s hydration. This hydration is important for your skin’s overall health, providing it with a protective barrier. It also helps add fullness to your face.
When Ultra is injected into your lip, the hyaluronic acid will add volume beneath the skin, plumping the lips and getting rid of wrinkles that may have started to form on them. This injection can also help with a few common related lip issues:
• Maintaining lip symmetry
• Balancing your upper and lower lips
• Defining your cupid’s bow
• Defining the outer corners of the lips
What Happens During Treatment?
If you’re thinking about receiving this treatment to help you get fuller, healthier-looking lips, then you might be wondering what your treatment process will look like. At our clinic, we’ll make sure that your treatment is safe, effective, and that you get the long-lasting results that you’re looking for.
Before Treatment
Before we can set you up with your appointment for your injections, we’ll sit down for a consultation with you. This is an important part of the process since it helps us understand what your concerns are. In turn, that helps us figure out a treatment plan for you.
We’ll also take some time to go over your medical history and ensure that this is the right option for you. Once we’ve determined that Ultra is the right injectable for you, we can set up your appointment. We’ll also provide you with instructions on how to prepare for your injections.
Preparing for Treatment
There are a few things you’ll need to do to prepare for your Ultra injections. Don’t worry, there isn’t much to it. For your treatment to be as safe and effective as it can be, there are just a few basic things you’ll need to avoid during the week leading up to your treatment.
Make sure that you’re not taking any medications or supplements that could thin out your blood. This includes St. John’s wort, ibuprofen, and aspirin. For the day or two before you receive your injections, you’ll also need to make sure that you’re not drinking alcohol or smoking.
Your Appointment
When you come to our clinic for your injection appointment, we’ll do everything we can to make sure your treatment is safe and comfortable. The first thing we’ll do is prepare your skin for treatment. We’ll start by carefully cleaning the areas where you’ll be receiving the injections. This will prevent unwanted bacteria or grime from entering your lips along with your injections.
Once the skin is ready, we’ll begin applying the product to your lips. We’ll use multiple injections with small amounts of the product at a time. This will help your results stay natural-looking and ensure that you’re getting the appearance you want.
Recovery
This treatment is non-invasive, which is beneficial for many reasons. The major benefit is that there is very little recovery time required after you’re done at the clinic. As soon as your injections are complete, you’ll be able to leave and get back to your daily tasks.
Just be careful of a few things to help your skin heal quicker and ensure you’re getting the results you want. Make sure that you continue avoiding alcohol and smoking. You’ll also need to stay out of direct sunlight for the next day or so, and avoid anything that might make you sweat excessively.
FAQs
Do you have some burning questions about receiving Ultra injections? We’ll answer the most frequently asked questions here.
When Do I See Results?
One of the best things about getting this treatment is that your results are going to last a very long time. As you know, you can expect to enjoy your fuller, plumper, more youthful-looking lips for up to a year.
But while longevity is important, you’re probably also wondering when you’ll start seeing your results. One of the other great things about Ultra is that you’ll see a change in the appearance of your lips almost instantly. The product will take up space beneath your lips, making them look fuller and smoother. Over the next week or so, you’ll notice your result becoming even more obvious.
Is Ultra Safe?
One of the major concerns people have when it comes to any treatment is whether or not it’s safe. That’s a completely natural and valid concern! There are many treatment options available that do carry a certain amount of danger with them.
If you’re looking for an option that’s both effective and safe, Ultra is perfect for you. It’s non-invasive, so it carries far fewer risks than a surgical procedure. It’s also made using an ingredient that you can find naturally in your skin, making it an entirely safe product.
Does Treatment Hurt?
Ultra is applied to your desired areas with the use of a very fine and precise needle. This helps you get the particular results that you’re looking for. But many patients feel anxious about the possibility of painful treatment.
That’s not something you need to worry about with this treatment option. All Ultra injections contain a small amount of lidocaine, which is a painkiller. This will help your treatment stay as pain-free as possible. You may just feel a slight pinching sensation.
Will Results Look Natural?
Another thing many people are concerned about when it comes to cosmetic treatments is whether or not those treatments will look natural. You may have heard horror stories about people who have received dermal fillers or other injectables. You may also be concerned about fielding uncomfortable questions from friends or relatives.
At our clinic, we know exactly how to apply these injections to help you not only get effective results, but also natural-looking ones.
Am I a Candidate?
If this sounds like it could be the right way for you to get the youthful, full lips that you want, then you might be wondering if you could be a candidate. Most people are able to receive this treatment. However, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or you’ve had negative reactions to lidocaine in the past, you might want to avoid this treatment.
Otherwise, as long as you’re in good general health then you can reap the benefits of Ultra injections.
