MEDICAL TREATMENTS
Lip filling
Tissue fillers can be injected into the lips to create fuller lips, a more defined border, or for correction of lip-shape.
Hyaluronic acid is a gel which is injected into the lips and has the ability to hold water, hydrating and giving volume to the lip, altering shape, or adding definition to the borders.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the body.
Results are seen instantly, but there will be some swelling for a day or two. The full effect can take up to one month to show.
The gel fillers last for approximately 8-12 months.
NO – not at Aesthetics!
At Aesthetics we offer a dental block anaesthetic for Lip Fillers, for a PAIN FREE procedure. No extra charge.
This sets Dr Le Grange apart from many other doctors who only give numbing cream, that reduces the pain slightly. Without this anaesthetic injection, lip fillers can be a very painful treatment.
A quick injection into the gum area in the mouth, like at the dentist, numbs the entire area and makes the treatment pain free.
Most patients can return to work immediately after the treatment. Note that slight swelling or bruising may occur, but this should disappear after a few days. Anti-septic ointment will be applied after the treatment, which allows for the use of make-up.
