Lip fillers have become increasingly popular as an aesthetic treatment for enhancing the appearance of lips. Whether you’re looking to add volume, reshape, or simply rejuvenate your lips, lip fillers can be a quick and effective solution. Below, we discuss the essentials of lip fillers, addressing common concerns and highlighting the quality of Vivacy Stylage products.
What are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are injectable treatments that add volume to your lips. They are primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, which helps to increase volume, hydration, balance, and definition of your lips for a plumper, more rejuvenated appearance.
Are Lip Fillers Painful?
The experience of pain is subjective and can vary from person to person. Most lip fillers contain a local anaesthetic called lidocaine, which helps to minimise discomfort during the procedure. Additionally, practitioners may use a numbing cream before injection to further reduce any potential pain. Patient comfort is extremely important to us so we will do everything possible to make the experience as pain-free as possible.
Can Lip Fillers Be Removed?
One of the significant benefits of using hyaluronic acid-based fillers is their reversibility. This feature is particularly appealing because it allows for greater flexibility and peace of mind. If, for any reason, you’re not happy with the outcome of your treatment or if you encounter any adverse effects, the process can be quickly and safely reversed. This is achieved through the injection of an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase works by breaking down the hyaluronic acid in the fillers, effectively dissolving them and returning the treated area to its previous state almost immediately after injection.
Which Lip Filler Lasts the Longest?
The longevity of lip fillers depends on the type of filler used and how your body metabolises it. Generally, most fillers in this area last between 6 to 9 months. Vivacy Stylage products are known for their durability and can last towards the longer end of this spectrum, with some of their fillers designed to last up to 12 months or more.
Is it possible to extend the results of your dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers can’t last forever, but their longevity and effectiveness can be maximised through several key practices. Choosing a skilled injector is crucial, as their expertise in selecting the right product and technique ensures natural and lasting results. Following the post-treatment care instructions provided by your injector is essential to maintaining the results and avoiding complications. Using high-quality fillers, protecting your skin from UV damage, and staying consistent with follow-up appointments are also vital. These steps help maintain the filler’s appearance and prevent premature ageing, ensuring your skin remains healthy and your fillers look their best for as long as possible.

Premium quality fillers, like those from Vivacy Stylage, have a few key advantages:
