WHAT TYPES OF LIP TREATMENTS ARE THERE AND WHICH ARE THE MOST POPULAR?
There are multiple treatments that we can divide into two, those that focus on improving the volume and shape of the lips , and those that treat the texture and general appearance of the skin in this area.
The most popular is hyaluronic acid filler , a natural substance that provides volume, hydration and can correct lip asymmetry. In addition, quite natural results can be achieved, as it can be shaped according to the patient's preferences.
"The most popular treatment is hyaluronic acid filling, a natural substance that provides volume, hydration and can correct lip asymmetry."
Another would be lip contouring also using hyaluronic acid which serves to define the contour of the lips without necessarily increasing their volume.
Another option for lip skin texture is mesotherapy with different products or peels.
WHAT ROLE DOES HYALURONIC ACID PLAY IN LIP TREATMENTS AND WHAT ARE ITS SPECIFIC BENEFITS?
Hyaluronic acid is the product used in most cosmetic lip treatments. This substance, which is found naturally in our body, is essential for maintaining hydration and volume in the skin, including the lips.
The specific benefits of hyaluronic acid are:
- Adjustable volume according to each patient's taste.
- Deep hydration due to its great capacity to retain water.
- Natural results as it is a substance that the body recognizes.
- It is a reversible treatment , which is an advantage if you are not satisfied with the results.
- Low risk of allergic reactions as it is a substance that the body produces naturally.
- Corrects asymmetries which improves patients' self-esteem.
WHAT FACTORS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BEFORE UNDERGOING LIP TREATMENT?
Assess previous pathologies that are a contraindication for these treatments, avoid any previous non-absorbable fillers , and have realistic expectations .
WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON RISKS OR SIDE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH LIP TREATMENTS?
These include swelling , redness , bruising , pain or tenderness in the treated area, temporary asymmetry, and lumps or nodules. In rare cases, allergic reactions or infections may occur. Although migration of the filler is very rare, it can occur. Most of these effects disappear within a few days .
HOW IS LIP ENLARGEMENT TREATMENT PERFORMED AND HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?
A clinical history, photos, prior anesthesia and asepsis of the area are performed, injections with hyaluronic acid which will depend on the technique of the treating physician, massage and lip molding after the procedure.
WHAT TYPE OF ANESTHESIA IS USED DURING LIP TREATMENTS?
Topical anesthesia, anesthesia in the filler itself, or local nerve block may be used.
HOW LONG DOES THE EFFECT OF A LIP TREATMENT LAST AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD IT BE REPEATED?
The duration is between 6 and 12 months , depending on the patient's habits and metabolism. It can be repeated whenever the patient wishes.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO REVERSE A LIP TREATMENT IF THE RESULT IS NOT AS EXPECTED?
Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved by an enzyme called hyaluronidase , allowing the treatment to be safely reversed.
ARE THERE SPECIFIC LIP TREATMENTS FOR DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES OR LIP CONDITIONS?
Yes, there are specific lip treatments that can be tailored to different skin types and lip conditions. Lips, like the rest of the skin, can have particular needs depending on their texture, hydration and individual characteristics.
WHAT POST-TREATMENT CARE IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE GOOD RECOVERY AND OPTIMAL RESULTS?
- Avoid physical activity, sauna, swimming pool or any environment that may infect the entry points
- Maintain lip hydration
- Post-treatment massages according to the recommendations of the treating physician
- Maintain adequate water intake according to your weight
"After a lip treatment, it is necessary to take care of the lips with a good lip balm, preferably based on natural ingredients."
WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR DAILY LIP CARE AFTER LIP TREATMENT?
Moisturizing balm.
"I love OhMyKoko's Very Kissible Lips serum. Its natural and comprehensive formula is an excellent option for optimal lip care and for the treatment to last longer."
WHAT LIP CARE ROUTINE DO YOU CONSIDER IDEAL FOR KEEPING LIPS HYDRATED AND HEALTHY?
- Gentle exfoliation 1-2 times a week
- Constant hydration with lip balm several times a day
- Daily sun protection
- Drink enough water
- Avoid habits that dry out your lips, such as biting or licking, as saliva can further dehydrate them, creating a cycle of dryness.
WHAT ARE THE KEY INGREDIENTS TO LOOK FOR IN LIP CARE PRODUCTS?
Preferably natural moisturizing products.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT USING OHMYKOKO’S “VERY KISSIBLE LIPS” LIP SERUM FOR POST-TREATMENT LIP CARE?
I love this product. First of all, all of its ingredients are natural, so it is compatible with all skin types, including atopic skin. Its texture is very soft and adaptable to the lips. It tastes like coconut, which makes you want to use it many times a day. It is an excellent option to make your hyaluronic acid treatment last for a long time, so I recommend it.
