LIPS
By Dr Sally Ann Dolan of SDS Rejuvenate
There are many reasons why people are unhappy with the shape and size of their lips . For some their lips have started to appear thinner and less defined as a result of the natural ageing process . For others their lips have always been narrow with a less pronounced cupid ’ s bow .
Despite us being encouraged to wear face masks , the number of patients we have wanting consultations about lip treatments has not fallen – quite the opposite !
At SDS Rejuvenate MediSpa we offer a range of treatments specifically for the lips .
It is still dermal fillers that most patients want to discuss at consultation . We are aware there is still reluctance and apprehension as people worry about having duck lips as a result of filler treatment . We offer reassurance explaining that we absolutely do not want such an outcome and the aim of dermal fillers is simply to subtly augment or correct asymmetry , or to replace any volume that has been lost . We aim to produce a natural , youthful and plumped lip appearance .
Dermal fillers - have been specifically developed to enhance the natural pattern of your lips helping you achieve more defined beautifully shaped enhanced lips . There are many types of dermal fillers but the filler we use contains only Hyaluronic Acid ( HA ). HA is a natural substance that is found in your body .
If you are contemplating having dermal fillers for the first time , we may actually suggest dipping your toe in the water and trying 0.6ml as this can give a very natural ‘ non filled look ’ and a sensible approach if you are still a little apprehensive . Obviously there is still the option of the full 1ml syringe if this is considered appropriate .
Alternative treatments for the lip include :
LipLase – this is a laser treatment . It uses laser energy to stimulate the body ’ s natural production of collagen that depletes as we age . If you feel your lips are thinner and less defined than they used to be , LipLase can help to reverse the signs of
ageing . LipLase is an ideal alternative to lip fillers . It involves up to 4 treatments at monthly intervals and the results after the completed course will last approximately 6 months . However just one treatment will exfoliate and plump the lips , the effects lasting approximately 24 hours !
HydraFacial Lip Perk™ – Lip Perk combines a therapist delivered treatment with an advanced , daily use , take-home product – specially designed to enhance and prolong the effects of the therapist delivered treatment . Lip Perk gives you the best of both worlds , combining efficiency with effective results . The treatment uses patented roller-flex technology , to gently remove the surface layer of dead skin cells and impurities while simultaneously delivering vital antioxidants to the lips . The lip service exfoliates and perfectly primes lips with essential key ingredients such as hyaluronic acid , peony extract and peppermint oil that lightly plumps the pout . The serum vial used during the treatment turns into your take-home product for a month ’ s home-use applications . You should continue to use the serum twice a day , for 28 days to achieve the best results possible .
We can combine this with the full HydraFacial treatment , a wonderful facial that is well known as the ‘ Skin Health For Life ’ treatment . You can view further details on our website , it is one of our most popular treatments !
Finally if you simply want to enhance your lips and improve the pout but do not want an in clinic treatment , you can try our SDS Lip Plumper . This was introduced to our SDS Skin Care range during lockdown and whilst clinics were closed it went viral – we have distributed our SDS Lip Plumper as far afield as Ireland , Uruguay and Australia ! It has proven popular across the ages , from teenagers to the more mature . The before and after photos we have received are fabulous !
So , in summary , we have a range of treatments available in our clinics and if you have concerns about your lips and you are considering treatment , or if you wish to discuss cost please do not hesitate to call our clinics and we can discuss your options further during a free consultation .
