Decoding the Concept of Lip Fillers

Understanding Lip Fillers

Lip fillers are a popular cosmetic treatment that aims to give your lips a fuller and plumper appearance. They are essentially injections of a gel-like substance (most commonly Hyaluronic Acid), which helps to add volume, change the shape or structure, or add volume to thin or wrinkled areas of the lips.

Composition and Types of Lip Fillers

The primary composition of lip fillers is Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in our body, known for its ability to hold water and provide volume. There are different brands on the market offering HA lip fillers. Each has a slightly different consistency and longevity, providing options for customisation to cater to individual needs and desired results.

The Procedure

Most professionals start the lip filler procedure with a numbing agent (like a topical cream). Next, the preferred filler is strategically injected into specific areas of your lips and around the lip. The whole procedure typically takes under an hour, and the results are immediate. Immediate results are accompanied with swelling, bruising and bleeding. 

Peeling Off the Layers: What does 1ml of Lip Filler Signify?

Measuring Lip Fillers

Lip fillers are typically measured in milliliters (ml), indicating the volume of the filler. You may hear professionals refer to it as a “syringe” of filler. One ml of lip filler is relatively small, roughly one-fifth of a teaspoon!

Does the amount matter?

While the needle’s size may seem small, it’s essential to understand that when it comes to lip fillers, less is often more. The impact largely depends on the natural size and shape of your lips. Generally, 1ml is what everyone requires to see a change. 

Realistic Expectations

As tempting as it may be to dream of the ‘perfect lips‘, one must be armed with realistic expectations. You need to keep in mind that all of these treatments carry risks and you should have a realistic expectation rather than chasing the perfect google image lips.
