Restore Lost Volume In Your Lips With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

None of us have perfect lips throughout our lifetime, so if you feel self-conscious that your lips have become thinner or they seem to disappear when you smile, then a lip augmentation might be the answer. It's an ideal treatment for those with thin lips or those who think having fuller lips will help to balance out their face.

If you're disheartened by a gradual loss in volume in the lips, or you'd prefer more definition in the shape or maybe you want a more defined border, then a cosmetic treatment using a small amount of filler can quickly rectify all your concerns. As we get older, we can notice a loss of plumpness in the lips, but this lost volume can easily be restored with dermal filler treatment.

Lip augmentation is one of the most popular treatments at Selston Cosmetic Clinic. This treatment will smooth out the fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth area and can shape and add volume to the lips, all helping to create the perfect overall look to enhance your facial features.

Wrinkles
A lip filler injection will boost the hydration levels to the upper and lower lips, This will hydrate the lips as well as smoothing the fine lines and wrinkles.

Thin lips
Some of us have naturally thin lips or else they lose volume as we age. A non-permanent filler made from hyaluronic acid can boost volume in the lip area. Hyaluronic acid is a natural ingredient which gets broken down by the body over time, and can also be dissolved if you don't like the results.

Mouth and lip lines
The vertical lines around the mouth are a particular problem for women as it can cause lipstick bleed. Dermal fillers can soften these lines, enhancing the mouth area and giving it a more youthful look.

Shape
The edges of the lips will become less defined as we get older, as over time, the collagen and elastin breaks down and the lips lose their pouting shape, and lines begin to develop around the lips.

Undefined lips
Filler added to the vermilion border, improve the definition and minimize lip bleed and give a better outline.

Lip augmentation treatment will:

• Increase the volume
• Improve the outline and definition
• Achieve a more symmetrical look
• Enhance the contours of the lips
• Reduce lines and wrinkles 

Lip augmentation is a quick procedure with almost no downtime. Any side effects such as swelling, bruising or redness are temporary and will resolve within a few days. Any lumps or bumps can easily be gently massaged out and will settle within a couple of days. After filler treatment, you should keep your lips moisturised and use a moisturising sun block.

Enhance Your Lips With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The mouth and lips are one of the focal points of the face and we want to keep them looking good. When the face starts to show signs of ageing, one of the first things women tend to rectify is the lips. Over the years, our lips lose their definition, the volume decreases and they become thinner.

We might begin to notice lines and wrinkles around the mouth, or find that the lips getting dry and chapped, or you might just be unhappy with their size or shape. There are some lipsticks available that can temporarily plump up the lips, but if you want a longer lasting result there is help available, and dermal fillers could be the solution to help you get your lips back into a beautiful condition.

Why have lip enhancements?

• To add more volume, to get fuller, plumper lips.
• To balance out lopsided or asymmetrical lips.
• Add volume to naturally small, thin or flat lips.
• To give volume and symmetry to either a thin lower or upper lip.
• Enhancing the shape and definition of the lips.

Lots of women are looking for fuller and more sensuous lips, and we can get these by using dermal fillers. Having a simple, safe dermal filler treatment will add volume and definition to thin lips, both of which we lose, as we grow older. As well as this, the treatment can also balance out uneven lips and lessen the look of fine, vertical lines surrounding the mouth.

Areas that will benefit:
* The vermilion border or lip outline. The filler will create definition and width.
* The smoker's lines around the mouth, which causes lipstick bleeding lines.
* Upper and lower lip - for volume and fullness.
* Definition of the cupids bow - filler adds definition and contouring.

Along with botox, lip augmentation has become one of the most often requested cosmetic treatments, and it's a popular procedure with a wide age range. At reputable clinics, before any treatment the practitioner will discuss your requirements, and recommend which filler he will use. A fully trained cosmetic practitioner will always pay attention to the shape of the lips, and not just to their size, and as clients usually want a natural looking lip enhancement, it's important to use soft natural fillers. The day after the procedure the lips may swell slightly, so it's always a good idea to have the procedure at the weekend when you have a couple of days off to recover.

Enhance Your Lips With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It's important to keep our lips looking good because they are one of the main focal points of the face. We can keep our lips in great condition all year round, we don't have to wait for a special occasion to pamper them, so if we're not happy with the look of our lips, or the cold weather has left them dry and chapped, we don't have to despair, there are solutions.

Dermal fillers can enhance the lips and the area around the mouth, giving it a more youthful look. If you're worried about dry, chapped lips or maybe you're unhappy with their size or shape, there's expert help available to help you get them back into a beautiful condition. 

The delicate skin on the lips is very susceptible to harsh weather and they need extra care to keep them in peak condition:

• Exfoliate the lips - Removing dead skin from the lips will keep them smooth, making it easier to apply lipstick. To exfoliate, use a soft toothbrush and Vaseline to brush over the lips once a week.
• Dry lips - If you have dead skin on your lips, try not to lick or pick at them. Use lip balm to keep them hydrated, as licking your lips will dry them out more, and picking at any dead skin can lead to bleeding.
• Longer lasting lipstick - Putting a little powder foundation on your lips and then blotting, will help keep the lipstick on your lips for longer. Dust a little translucent powder over your lips, then apply another coat of lipstick.
• Lipstick - If you're going to wear lipstick, make sure you exfoliate your lips as any crust or dead skin on your lips becomes instantly noticeable.

Your lips might be too thin; either through age or genetics, you may have smokers lines around them or maybe they aren't symmetrical; all these things can lower your self-confidence. Lip size and shape can easily be enhanced using dermal fillers; they will add volume, giving a fuller appearance to your lips. Sometimes, just a small amount of filler can make all the difference, and you can get beautiful results, without necessarily adding lots of volume.

Dermal fillers will soften the lines and prevent lipstick bleeds. This treatment enhances the area around the mouth, giving it a more youthful look. The treatment can sometimes make people nervous, as women imagine themselves coming out of the clinic with over inflated lips, putting many women off lip treatments, but if you have your fillers done at a reputable clinic, then this isn't the reality, because a reputable clinic will always discuss your desired outcome at your consultation.

Erase Lip Lines & Creases with Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Sometimes it seems that wrinkles show up in all the wrong places. On first meetings, most people focus their attention on the other person's eyes or mouth and unfortunately, those are the exact areas where fine lines and wrinkles first begin to show.

Even while we're young, the signs of ageing will still show in our face a lot sooner than we want, especially around the mouth and lower face area. It's very demoralising to notice the beginnings of lip creases and lip lines, especially when we apply lipstick and we see the colour bleeding into our lip wrinkles, ruining our smile.

Causes of upper lip wrinkles:

• Repeatedly making the same facial expressions
• Pursing the lips
• Smoking
• Excessive sun exposure which can break down collagen and elastin in the skin
• The passage of time breaking down the skin's elasticity

Over time these can cause fine lines to appear around the mouth, and the thinner the skin, the more visible the lines and creases become. After many years, these lines can become permanent indentations on the lips and mouth area.

Lip creases, also called lipstick lines or smoker's lines, are those fine lines that start to radiate from the lips as we get older. These vertical lines on the lips are especially problematic for women as the lip lines can also cause lipstick to bleed, which is a major sign of ageing.

Ageing plays a part forming lines on the lips but the good news is, we can do something about it. As we age our lips get thinner and lose their definition and a small amount of dermal filler can make all the difference.

There are many dermal fillers used to correct lip creases and lines, all which plump up the skin and help to create a younger, more youthful looking appearance. Recommended fillers for lip crease correction include:

• Restylane range
• Juvederm Ultra 2
• Teosyal Fine Lines

The dermal fillers are non animal based hyaluronic acid, a substance which is naturally found in the body. The filler acts as padding and when it's injected it fills out the lines and creases beneath the skin.

A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the lip area 20 minutes before treatment begins, which numbs the skin. The cosmetic procedure usually only takes about 20-30 minutes. There maybe some swelling after the treatment and perhaps some slight bruising, but the swelling resolves itself within a day or two and any minor bruising can always be covered up with make-up.

Beautiful Fuller Lips at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The lips, like the eyes and nose, are a defining and prominent facial feature. During social interactions, the lips are a focal point, not only when they're doing the talking but also when they're showing your emotions. When we're happy, a radiant smile can make us look younger and boost our self-confidence. 

Lip enhancements use injectable fillers, which are a quick, safe and effective treatment that don't require any downtime. As well as plumping and firming the lips, lip filler procedures can define the lip line, lessen the fine lines around the mouth, prevent lipstick bleed and even create an upward turn to the corners of the mouth.

Things you can achieve with lip fillers;

• Fuller lips. Either adding volume to both lips, or just the top or bottom lip.
• Reducing wrinkles. Fillers are ideal anti-ageing treatments which can erase lip lines and smooth out wrinkles around the mouth.
• Confidence boost. When certain facial features aren't in harmony with the rest of the face, it can make you feel self-conscious. 

Improving the smile with softer, plumper and smoother-looking lips is a cosmetic treatment that's growing in popularity among people of all ages. Lots of people who consider having a lip enhancement get worried about the “trout pout”, but the reality is that an experienced practitioner will only fill the lips to enhance them to a realistic size, adding volume to thin lips, defining lip borders or just giving a subtle tweak to reshape the lips, while keeping a totally natural look.

After a free consultation with our expert doctor where you can discuss your expectations, you will both decide on a treatment plan for your lip enhancement. The look of people's lips can vary after the injections and some swelling can remain for up to two weeks. It can sometimes take some time adjusting to your new look and you can always top up the filler and increase your lip volume when you want. 

The lip filler procedure usually causes only minimal discomfort, and some clients do opt for a topical anaesthetic cream application on the lips before their treatment and then, once the lips are less sensitive, the doctor will inject the lip filler through tiny injections that are almost pain-free.

Dermal Fillers to Restore Volume & Enhance the Mouth Area - Notttingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Thinning lips and the appearance of fine lines around the mouth are unfortunately an inevitable result of ageing, but volume and structure can easily be recreated, using dermal fillers to restore your lips and give them a natural, youthful look. Injectable filler treatment can reverse the signs of ageing in the mouth area and will define, shape, support, soften and hydrate, they'll correct asymmetry and restore volume or just enhance the lips.

Sometimes when you look at yourself in the mirror you might notice changes happening to your lips:

• Vertical lines - sometimes called smokers’ lines or lipstick lines
• Volume loss - lack of fullness in the lips 
• Flat lips - less pronounced shape, and the cupid’s bow lacks definition
• Lost definition - the border known as the vermillion border has less definition to the outside of the lips
• Flatter philtrum ridge - lack of shape to the ridge between the upper lips and the nose

Some of us were born with naturally thin lips and some lips can become thinner as we grow older. As we age, our collagen production slows down, causing the lips to lose volume, and thin lips can make you look less vibrant and older than you are, but dermal fillers will give you the luscious lips you are after. So whether you’ve always had small thin lips or they have become that way with age, dermal fillers can restore them.

Lots of us are unhappy with the lack of volume in our lips; wanting more volume, a better shape, to  define the border and to have more definition on the cupid’s bow. Dermal fillers are a perfect cosmetic treatment to make them full again. A good cosmetic doctor will give you natural-looking results; plump, shapely and youthful, without them looking like they've had any treatment. The same dermal fillers injected to add volume, are also used to shape the lips, and these treatments are often done in the same procedure.

Lip Lines
These are sometimes called the lipstick lines, and they're the fine vertical wrinkles that develop just above the lips. These lines show up when we purse our mouth, while smoking or drinking through straws, but as we get older, they begin to become a more permanent fixture. Light botox treatment is often used to treat these pucker lines

Smile Lines
These are also known as nasolabial folds, laugh lines or parentheses, and they're the wrinkles that run from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth. Dermal fillers are a great option for smoothing these lines away

Marionette Lines
These lines run from the corners of the mouth to the chin and are similar to smile lines. Dermal filler corrects these lines.

Dermal fillers will give your lips volume and definition, and the injections are completely controlled, letting you choose if you want a subtle, in-between or more dramatic look. There are lots we can do to prevent and to improve the signs of ageing, leaving you happy to enjoy younger looking, plumper lips for longer.

Healthy Lips, Lip Lines & Creases and Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Women everywhere yearn for soft, healthy beautiful lips. Luscious lips are everywhere, on the cover of magazines, in lipstick adverts, and on the faces of our favourite celebrities on TV and films. And we can have them too, if we keep up with the maintenance.

More moisture is lost through the lips than through any other part of the face or body. Being outside on winter days, with the cold, wind, rain and snow and then going indoors with the central heating on, can suck out the moisture from the super sensitive skin on our lips. A natural pinkish tinge on the lips is a sign of good health, and with some good daily care we can protect the lips and keep them in tip-top condition, ensuring the pink tinge will remain on the lips. With a little bit of loving care, our lips could be perfect in no time at all.

Over a lifetime, our lips go through a lot and that affects their condition, but there are many things we can do, to get them looking healthy again.

Chapped Lips
There are many reasons why lips can become chapped and dry, such as dehydration, exposure to extreme weather, either sun, wind or cold air and dry heat from the central-heating. Also, when out of habit we start licking, biting or chewing the lips. When lips lose moisture, the thin skin covering them can become tight and then start to split and flake.

Any lip balm containing beeswax, shea butter, coconut butter, almond oil, or other natural moisturisers will provide a barrier and help seal in moisture.

Blistex Relief cream gives medicated relief to sore, cracked lips.

Avoid flavoured lip balms, they may smell amazing, but they can irritate chapped, flaking lips and are more likely to tempt the wearer to lick their lips.

Keep Your Lips Hydrated
As well as keeping lips moisturised with balms, natural ingredients can also be applied to add moisture to dry, chapped lips.

Cucumber: Slice the skin from the cucumber and store it in cold water. After 15 minutes massage your lips with the slices.

Almond Oil:  Pour a little oil on a spoon, heat it over a candle flame and when it's hot, massage the oil, which is rich in vitamin E, into your lips

Aloe Vera: Cut a fresh piece of aloe and use the juice as lip balm to help heal the sore lips.

Coconut Oil: Simply apply a small amount of oil to the lips several times a day, particularly when the weather is cold and dry.

Water: Since dehydration is the main cause of dry or chapped lips, it's recommended to drink at least 2-3 litres of water daily.

Lips Lines and Creases
Wrinkles on the lips and around the mouth are often the first signs of ageing. You can reduce the look of wrinkles by exfoliating the lip and mouth area, as removing the dead skin cells will make the wrinkles appear shallower. Hydrate the skin by keeping the lips moist with lip balms and drink plenty of water which plumps the skin and lessens the appearance of wrinkles. Facial exercises are also great for reducing wrinkles and lines. Dermal fillers offer the most effective non-surgical method for treating lip lines and require a very small amount of the filler, which is injected into precise locations along the lines and lip border. The results using dermal fillers are stunning and natural looking.

Exfoliate the Lips
There are a few ways of exfoliating the lips:

• You can coat your lips with lip balm overnight and in the morning brush off the dead skin cells with a tooth-brush.
• Make a lip scrub by mixing some granulated sugar with vaseline or lip balm, and apply a layer on your lips. Scrub your lips in a circular motion and wipe off with a damp cloth.
• Exfoliate by making a mixture of honey and sugar. The sugar will help to remove the dead skin while the honey adds moisture to your dry lips.

These methods will give the lips give a smooth surface for lipstick, helping it glide on smoothly. Lip scrubbing will re-new the skin on your lips and remove the peeling dry skin, dead skin cells and makeup residue that can cling to unexfoliated lips. After exfoliating the lips, remember to apply a lip balm.

Protect the Lips
The skin on the lips is thin and they lack melanin, the pigment that helps shield skin from the sun, and this makes them more vulnerable to sunburn than the rest of your body. Sun exposure destroys collagen, and over time this will thin the lips. Always choose a lip balm with a sun protection factor of at least 15 and apply it about 30 minutes before you go outside into the sun.

Coat Lips With a Lip Balm Before Applying Lipstick
Matte lipsticks have the advantage of staying on the lips for longer but they are extremely drying. When the lips are chapped and flaking, matte lipsticks should be avoided. Instead, try using hydrating crème or satin finish lipsticks, and moisturise your lips well before applying lipsticks and glosses.

Now the lips are soft, healthy and looking in great condition but are they as full or pouty as you would like?  At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we can advise you on Lip augmentation treatments. They are a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that will enhance the appearance of your lips, making them fuller and better shaped. Dermal fillers can reduce or eliminate lip lines and replace some of the volume that has been lost from the lips over time. They are ideal for correcting thin lips and will also improve the appearance of a downward smile.

Lip Creases / Dermal Fillers

It does seem to be that wrinkles tend to show up in all the wrong places. When meeting, most people focus their attention on the other person’s eyes or mouth during a conversation. Unfortunately, those are exactly the areas where wrinkles show up first.

Even if we are not old, the signs of ageing will still show in our face sooner than we would want – especially around the mouth and lower face.
Are you beginning to notice lip creases and lip lines? Is your lipstick bleeding into your wrinkles and ruining your smile?

As we age, our bodies to go through many changes that can alter our appearance. Upper lip wrinkles can be caused by repeatedly making the same facial expressions, pursing the lips, by smoking, excessive sun exposure which can break down collagen and elastin in the skin, or maybe just the skin elasticity breaking down, these can all cause fine lines around your mouth to form over time.

Lip creases, also called lipstick lines or smoker’s lines, are those fine lines that start to radiate from your lips as you age. Lip lines can cause lipstick to bleed, as well as being a major sign of ageing. These vertical lines on the lips seem to be especially problematic for women.
The thinner your skin, the more visible the lines become. Over time, after many years these lines become permanent indentations in the lips.

Lip creases, one of the most dreaded signs of ageing, are caused by a loss of collagen and muscle tone. As our skin ages, we lose collagen in the skin and the skin becomes lax. This makes lip wrinkles worse and also allows the lip to sag or become longer. Loss of fat which occurs with facial ageing also contributes to thinning of the lips.

Although natural ageing does play a part in the formation of lip lines, the good news is that we can do something about it. At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic we have had fantastic results using lip fillers to banish those lip creases.

Dr Bassi is a fully trained cosmetic practitioner in advanced filler techniques. No two faces are the same, so he tailors his facial filler and remodelling treatment to each individual.

At the clinic we recommend any of the following fillers for lip crease correction :
Restylane range
Juvederm Ultra 2
Teosyal Fine Lines

The procedure takes about 20 - 30 minutes. There will be a little swelling following the treatment and maybe some bruising. The swelling will have resolved within a day or two but any minor bruising can be covered with make up.

Come on ladies - kiss your lip lines goodbye !
