Erase Smokers Lip Lines With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

If we feel like we're beginning to look older it's only natural that we might like to reverse the effects of ageing. We will all get some facial wrinkles as we age, especially fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Anyone can get lip lines, and things like repetitive movement, sun exposure, smoking and genetics will speed up the process. As their skin is thinner, women tend to get lip and mouth wrinkles more often than men.

The lips are an important part of facial beauty, the shape and appearance of the lips draw the eye, and full, plump lips have become increasingly identified with both youth and beauty. As we get older the natural breakdown of collagen and elastin fibres causes the lip volume to deplete, making them look thinner and flatter.  Many beauty products claim to halt the effects of ageing but there's no such thing and unfortunately our skin will continuously age regardless, but there are some ways to lessen lip lines and wrinkles.

Exfoliate

A natural way to lessen lip wrinkles is to exfoliate once a day. This will take away dead skin cells and the wrinkles will appear shallower.
Lip balm
When the lips are kept moist and hydrated it helps to prevent them from drying and wrinkling. Also consider using balm with sunscreen, when out in the sun.
Diet
Include food rich in antioxidants, such as leafy vegetables and citrus fruits and fatty omega 3 foods like fish or fish oil supplements into your diet.
Facial exercises
Massaging the face will increase blood circulation and tightens muscles and tissues around the mouth.
Water
Drink plenty of water to replace lost moisture to keep the skin hydrated and plump.

Injectable dermal fillers plump up thin lips, smoothing out vertical lines around the edges of the lips. The filler stimulates collagen production and encourages new tissue growth in and around the injected area. Over time, the body absorbs the gel carrier, while collagen continues to grow at the injection site, replacing the gel with the natural tissue.

Benefits of Lip Injections:

• Safe and non invasive
• Quick and effective results
• Adding volume to thin lips will improve the skin around the mouth
• Minimal recovery time and side effects
• Can resume routine activities almost immediately after treatment

Lip fillers offer a quick and effective way to withstand the ageing process. The results are immediate and side effects are almost none existent, although some people may very occasionally experience slight redness, mild swelling and some tenderness after treatment.

Add Volume to Your Lips With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Unfortunately over time we lose volume in our lips and gain fine lines around the borders meaning they no longer look as youthful as they once did. We begin to notice that the vermilion borders and the cupid's bow are becoming less defined and the philtrum ridge between the nose and mouth starts to flatten out.

A lip enhancement treatment can improve your overall facial appearance, not just the lips. Filler treatment is a cosmetic procedure that will enhance your lips giving them a fuller, plumper look and smooth out any fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth area, giving it a more youthful look.

It's wise to always do your research when choosing somebody to enhance your lips, as turning ordinary lips into beautiful lips is a skill that requires a lot of practice and ability. It's essential that you choose a qualified specialist cosmetic practitioner who has lots of experience in performing injectable treatments, one who combines artistry and expert ability with every treatment they perform. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we will aim to give you a subtle lip enhancement which will show off the natural shape of the lip, reducing the asymmetry and giving the lip a well-defined border.

The practitioner will perform the lip filler treatment by injection using an ultra fine needle, restoring volume to areas where it's been lost due to ageing, or to lips which are naturally thin. Dermal filler contains hyaluronic acid which is ideal for lip treatments, as it's a naturally occurring protein that's found in the human body and this means that side effects are very rare.

As the lips are a very sensitive part of the face, it's normal to feel slightly uncomfortable during the lip enhancement treatment. However, dermal fillers do contain a numbing agent to lessen any discomfort during the procedure, and we also apply a local anaesthetic cream to the lips, twenty to thirty minutes before the treatment takes place.

Unfortunately, dermal filler lip enhancements are not a permanent solution, because over time the body will gradually break down the fillers and they will naturally disperse back into the body, so eventually you'll need to top up the filler if you want to keep the look. The results of most dermal fillers will typically last about six to eight months and the practitioner will let you know how soon you'll need to return for a top up treatment.

Add Volume & Enhance Your Lips Using Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The lips are an indicator of ageing, as time spent biting or pursing them can lead to thin, deflated lips over time. Lips can say a lot about a person's age, health and character, and after years spent; talking, chewing, pouting, smoking or smiling can all lead to lines and wrinkles gathering around the lips.

Full, plump lips are typically a sign of youthfulness, and it's one of the main reasons that women have their lips cosmetically enhanced, and these days it's very easy to rejuvenate your lips, however old you might be. The lips start losing collagen as a direct result of ageing, and then they start to become thinner. Lip enhancement is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure using dermal fillers, which will increase flat, thin lips, add volume and enhance the overall shape.

Important rules for lip filler enhancement:

* Natural looking results - Our lips are always on the go, so when we talk or smile we want it to look natural. For natural looking lips it's best to start with a small amount of filler and gradually add more, if needed. Less is often more, and it's best to have lips that look natural, rather than over-stuffing them.
* Safety - The preferred filler for lips are those which are hyaluronic acid based, because with this filler any side effects are extremely rare. This filler gives lips a natural feel, they are soft, absorbable and reversible if needed.

* Natural feel - If you choose an experienced cosmetic doctor with the right injection technique and then any lumpiness shouldn't occur. 

Dermal fillers for the lips are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available, and they are a very quick and easy way to improve your facial appearance. The fillers typically last between six to nine months and because hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin, the risk of any bad reactions to the treatment is very small.

You can enhance these areas of the lips:

• Vermilion border - fillers will give a better outline and they will improve definition and minimise lipstick bleed.
• The upper and lower lip - can have filler injected into it, giving more volume and substance to the lip.
• Cupid bow - defining the cupid bow gives female lips a balance.
• Philtrum ridges - when injected, the filler defines the philtrum ridges, further enhancing the lips.

Lip fillers can give your lips the outline and definition that time has destroyed. Check out our website / Facebook and Instagram and find out about the latest methods of lip enhancements, including what to expect during the procedure.

Replace Lost Volume in Your Lips - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Over time, the volume of our lips will deplete, leaving them with a thinner, flatter appearance. We aren't all blessed with naturally full lips, many of us need a little help to achieve the fullness that we want.

The amount of dermal filler needed varies from person to person, as someone with very thin lips would need more than someone with lips that are already quite naturally plump. Of course, everyone has different ideas about how much volume they would like to add to their lips.

Filler doesn't usually change the shape of the lips to a great degree, it actually enhances the volume and voluptuousness of the lips, but it can help to elevate the corners of the mouth to create a slightly happier and relaxed look and not having the 'down in the mouth' look that sometimes comes with ageing.

A lip enhancement treatment using dermal fillers is a quick and safe way to give you fuller lips with a natural freshness, and it can also minimise fine lines and wrinkles along the edges of the lips. Most people who are thinking about a lip enhancement procedure want fuller lips that are smooth, plump, wrinkle-free and youthful looking.

Having dermal fillers injected into the lips can sometimes make people nervous, they worry that they'll get massively inflated lips, but this isn't the reality. If you have always dreamed of full, sensuous lips, then Doctor Bassi at Selston Cosmetic Clinic can help you to get beautiful natural looking lips which will suit you and your face. We can adjust the amount of lip filler to suit the need of each client.

Once the dermal filler gets injected, you will see an instant result, with fuller, well-defined, contoured lips. The fillers used are hyaluronic acid based, which is a natural part of the body, meaning the risk of an adverse reaction to the procedure is very small. Changes in the lip shape can create fullness and can also correct asymmetry. Dermal fillers for the lips are one of the most popular aesthetic treatments available and are a very quick and easy way to dramatically improve your look.

A reputable clinic will always discuss what you do, and what you don't want at your consultation. Dr Bassi, is our fully trained, very experienced, specialist cosmetic doctor with over 10 years experience in injectable treatments. The effects typically last around 6-9 months. After that you'll need more injections to top-up the volume of your lips.

Facial Fillers Erase Wrinkles & Add Volume - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Hyaluronic acid, hydration and water retention in our body decreases as we get older causing our skin to lose its plumpness and begin to get drier. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that occurs in the body, it holds water, which hydrates and gives volume to the skin, but unfortunately as we age this production of hyaluronic acid starts to diminish.

Cheek enhancement using dermal fillers

For many reasons; maybe age, stress or weight loss, we might find that our face is beginning to look tired, drawn and gaunt. Skin on younger people looks firmer and plumper in comparison, thanks in part to collagen and hyaluronic acid. One of the ways we can combat the signs of getting older, is to replace the hyaluronic acid that is lost during the ageing process with dermal fillers. They create a naturally smoothed out appearance, fill in the fine lines and wrinkles and plump out the grooves and creases.

Dermal fillers are an ideal treatment to improve facial contours, fill out sunken cheeks, reduce wrinkles and fine lines and help people regain their former youthful looks. Before our late 30's, the skin should still keep it's natural contoured nature and volume, without too many wrinkles or sagging, which makes the process a better prospect for middle-aged skin. Although late nights, heavy drinking and smoking can speed up the signs of ageing, so it's possible to need dermal fillers at a younger age.

Dermal fillers on tear troughs

Placing the fillers in strategic places will:

• Add volume to hollowed, gaunt, or sunken areas of the face.
• Give a natural filled out appearance under the lower eyelids, correcting the hollowed eyed look.
• Soften the deep grooves between the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth.
• Add volume to the cheeks, improving the marionette lines from the mouth to the chin.
• Jowl correction will give you a smooth jaw line.
• Will gently thicken skin that has thinned, due to ageing.
• Improve furrows, deep folds and creases.
• Will plump up the apples of the cheeks and sculpt the cheek bones.
• Lip enhancement will give better definition, reduce lipstick bleed, add volume and give a fuller appearance.

Dermal filler on lip lines

The effects of dermal fillers are instant. There's a small chance however, of slight bleeding where the needle enters the skin, and slight swelling or redness at the injection area, although this will go down very quickly and the use of an ice pack will speed up resolution.

Erase Unsightly Wrinkles & Smokers Lines on Your Lips - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Wrinkles always seem to show up in the wrong places. We tend to focus on someones eyes or mouth during a conversation, and unfortunately those are the areas where wrinkles show up first. Even before we start getting old, signs of ageing will show on our face a lot sooner than we'd like, especially around the mouth and lower face.

As we age, lip creases and lip lines will begin to appear as the skin's elasticity starts breaking down, making your lipstick bleed into your lip wrinkles and ruining your smile. When we repeatedly make the same facial expressions, it can cause lip wrinkles to form. Things like pursing the lips, smoking, eating and excessive sun exposure can break down collagen and elastin in the skin, and over time these things can all cause fine lines around the mouth and upper lip.

Lips come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes;

• Full Lips - Full and sensuous, both on the upper and lower lips which are usually symmetrical
• Wide Lips - Wide lips cover a good part of the lower half of the face
• Bow Lips - The highest point of the lips features a double-curve commonly known as a cupid’s bow, which resembles the bow of Cupid, the Roman God of Love
• Round Lips - are small but full, with a heart shape centre top lip

Lip creases, also called lipstick lines or smoker’s lines, are those fine lines that start to appear around our lips as we age. These vertical lines on the lips are especially problematic for women, especially when the lip lines cause lipstick to bleed into the lips. Over time, we lose collagen and the skin becomes lax, we also lose fat which contributes to thinning lips, which makes the lip lines and wrinkles more visible. 

Although natural ageing plays a part in forming lip lines, the good news is that we can do something about it. At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic we've had fantastic results using lip fillers to banish those lip creases and add volume. Dr Bassi is a fully trained cosmetic practitioner in advanced filler techniques, and he tailors every treatment to suit each client. He has performed thousands of injectable dermal lip filler treatments and he has over 10 years experience as a specialist cosmetic practitioner.

Unfortunately, not everyone is born with beautiful luscious lips, but if you are looking to improve your pout and erase your lip lines, then lip filler can give you what the gene pool didn't.

Look Your Best with Face & Body Treatments at Selston - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all like an evening out, getting dressed up in a beautiful dress and our make-up applied to perfection, but it's underneath the glamour where the hard work has happened to get us looking great. High-definition photo's that we put on our social media, means that every detail of our face and body is there for everyone to scrutinise.

There are lots of treatments and procedures available that can get us looking fabulous.

Laser hair removal
High definition cameras will pick up embarrassing facial hair, making laser hair removal an ideal treatment to have before a special occasion or a big night out. Hair removal on body area's such as the legs, bikini line, facial hairs, arms and armpits are easily treated, making the skin smoother. Laser treatment is a safe and effective way to reduce unwanted body and facial hair.

Lips
Sometimes lips are thin; maybe thinning because of ageing or they might have always been a bit flat, but they don't have to stay that way. To get plumper lips just a small amount of hyaluronic acid can make a big difference, and as well as adding volume, lip fillers can also improve the lip borders and give the lips definition.

                       

Vaser lipo
When you're on an evening out wearing a tight fitted dress, any small pockets of fat on the tummy and hips will show, but they can easily be removed with vaser lipo, so there aren't any noticeable lumps and bumps. Vaser can also remove fat from a double chin, and take fat away from the upper arms, helping to stop those bingo wings from flapping.

Microdermabrasion / Chemical peels
Procedures such as facials, microdermabrasion, or chemical peels will take the dead cells from the face, revealing rejuvenated new skin. Regular facial treatments will give the face a youthful and radiant complexion.

Botox and Fillers
Injectable fillers can help to plump up lips and cheeks and a skilled cosmetic doctor can strategically inject botox to erase forehead creases, the frown lines, the lines between the eyebrows and the crows feet around the eyes, giving a natural, softer and relaxed look to the face. Botox injections between the eyebrows can raise them, giving the eyes a more open and less stressed look. Botox isn't only for the face, it's also used to inject into the armpits to prevent sweating, putting an end to perspiration stains around the armpits of your clothing.

So if you have a big night out coming up, or a special occasion where you need to look your best, then Selston Cosmetic Clinic provides lots of cosmetic procedures which will make you feel like a million dollars.

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.

Dermal Fillers To Create Natural Looking Lips - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our face loses volume as we get older, and this is especially noticeable in the lips. The older we get, the more our lips gradually become thinner and flatter and they might develop fine vertical lines on, and around the lip area. The lips are a central focal point on our face, and having them look attractive is important for most of us, and if they lack volume or they aren't symmetrical, it can really affect our confidence.

The lips are an important part of facial beauty for women young and old, and for many, lipstick draws attention on a daily basis to the natural shape and symmetry of their lips. It’s now very easy to improve the size, shape and symmetry of your lips with injectable dermal fillers, and these are easily available in cosmetic clinics, where you can get fuller lips, and reduce the fine lines around the mouth, making our faces look more youthful.

Lip fillers enhance the lips contours and add volume to give them a symmetrical appearance, as well as improving the definition and outline. Fillers can offer an effective solution to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth area, keep the lips feeling soft and natural and giving them a more youthful look.

They can:

• Create a fuller upper and lower lip
• Reduce fine lines around the mouth
• Lift the corners of the mouth
• Erase smokers’ lines
• Will enhance the shape and definition of the lips
• Even out unbalanced lips

Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure to give your lips a fuller, plumper appearance, and the dermal fillers enhance the shape, volume and definition of the lips. Augmentation helps when lips aren’t symmetrical, when the top lip is thinner than their bottom lip or vice versa, or if half of the top lip doesn't match the other half, making the lips to look at though they are sloping sideways.

We make the procedure as painless as possible and the fillers also contain a local anaesthetic. A topical anaesthetic gets applied 20 minutes before the procedure, and as this numbs the lips, it makes the treatment is more comfortable. Dermal fillers consist of hyaluronic acid which is a substance that's found naturally in the body, and the results typically last 4-6 months.

You can go from thin and barely noticeable lips to a sensual plump look with one visit to the cosmetic clinic. Lip fillers are a great way to smooth out fine lines around the mouth and achieve a more youthful appearance.

Dermal Fillers for Younger Looking Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Dermal fillers are a non-surgical treatment, used to plump up depressions in the skin. The main reason for depressions in the skin are wrinkles, lines and loss of volume caused by the ageing process. As we age, it's well-known that the skin loses its smoothness, and this happens because the body's natural levels of collagen reduce with age. This causes the skin loses its shape and firmness, which is a problem that dermal fillers can rectify.

Here are a few examples of the use of dermal fillers:

• Achieve greater volume or fuller appearance with lip augmentation.
• Fill in hollow cheek bones to give you a younger appearance.
• Tear trough treatment gives a natural filled out appearance, correcting the hollowed eye look.
• Lip Enhancement gives your lips better definition and reduces lipstick bleed.

Although there are many different types of fillers available, the dermal fillers we use at Selston Cosmetic Clinic are hyaluronic acid based fillers or a calcium hydroxylapatite filler (Radiesse). Dermal fillers should not be confused with Botox, as although both procedures involve injections, Botox gets injected around the forehead and wrinkles around the eyes to stop muscle movement that results in wrinkles, fillers are used for facial volumisation, which involves placing the fillers in strategic places to lift the cheeks and jowls, give volume to the lips and fill deep lines, improving your looks, enhancing your profile and leaving your face with a natural expression.

The brand names of the hyaluronic acid based fillers are:

• Restylane range
• Juvederm Ultra
• Teosyal Kiss and
• Radiesse, which is a calcium hydroxylapatite based filler.

At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic, this woman had dermal filler treatment on the nasolabial folds (or "smile grooves") which are the deep folds running down from the nose to the mouth, that become more prominent as we age.

The results are amazing, leaving her overjoyed at the difference!

Benefits

• A non-invasive treatment with little downtime, so you can return to normal activities straight away
• Reduction of lines and wrinkles to give a more youthful looking appearance
• Will replenish lost volume for a softer more younger look
• Long lasting results

Dermal fillers work by plumping up the treated area and making it level with the rest of the skin, filling out any depressed areas such as wrinkles or sunken cheeks. A very fine needle injects the filler into the treatment area, which adds more structure and firmness to the face. Most people report only a slight discomfort when the dermal fillers get injected, so the treatment usually doesn’t require an anaesthetic and you can go straight back to your normal activities. The results are usually seen instantly and will last for around six to eight months.

Lip Augmentation at Reputable Clinics - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When your lips are full and shapely, they can seem more kissable and attractive. Fuller lips can also make you look younger, as thin lips are often a sign of ageing. Lots of people today are having lip augmentation at various places, but, when deciding to have lip fillers you must do your research and find a reputable practitioner.

In the past few years, many newspaper and magazine articles have written about lip filler treatments that have gone wrong. Some stories are down to a number of celebrities who have plumped up their lip size to way beyond natural. A prime example is the TV actress Lesley Ash, who in 2002 had her lips injected with liquid silicone, which plumped her lips up to such extremes that it changed her appearance considerably, and over a decade later her lips are still affected. These days lip filler treatment that uses silicone isn't recommended and is not approved by the FDA.

Other stories recently have been about lip filler treatments gone wrong, with people, mostly young women, left with severe infections and lumpy lips that are sometimes irreparable. Cosmetic procedures like lip fillers get trivialized on reality TV programmes and magazines by people like the Kardashian family. This can result in impressionable people being enticed by cheap deals seen on discounted online promotion websites. A lot of these cosmetic procedures are performed by unqualified practitioners, beauty salons, spa's and those without the correct medical training.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we have had outstanding results with our lip filler treatments. Dr. Bassi has performed thousands of injectable treatments and he has over ten years experience as a specialist cosmetic practitioner. To keep up to date with trends in the industry, Dr. Bassi has attended training courses and seminars in various parts of the world such as the USA, South America, Europe as well as in the UK.

The dermal fillers we use are hyaluronic acid based, which is a substance naturally occurring in the body. The hyaluronic filler injected into your lips acts like a cushion and adds more volume to them, attracting water to the area, providing an even softer volume.

Lip filler procedures can enhance:

• Vermilion border - which gives the outline and improves definition and minimises lip bleed.
• The upper and lower lip - can have the filler injected into it, giving more volume and substance to the lip.
• Cupid bow - defining the cupid bow gives female lips a balance.
• Philtrum ridges -  when defined by insertion of filler, this further enhances the features of the lips.

Get back your beautiful lips at Selston Cosmetic Clinic. With our help, your lips will once again enhance your facial features, making you look more youthful.

Lip Enhancment for Fuller, Youthful Lips - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

If you feel your lips are losing definition and you would like to get them back to the fullness of your youth, we at Selston Cosmetic Clinic can help. Dr. Bassi is an expert at using just enough filler to plump your lips, without overdoing it. By making subtle changes in the lip, we can create fullness, and also correcting the symmetry of the lips. We make it our priority to make your lips look as natural as possible, so when you turn heads, it will be for the right reasons!

As we get older, the collagen breaks down and the lips can lose their definition. The ageing process brings a lot of changes to the face and body; forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, laughter lines, circles under the eyes and thinning lips! These changes occur when we age and start to lose collagen and elastin in our skin, as it diminishes over time.

Lip filler injections can solve these issues and give you youthful looking, plump lips, leading to:

• A nicer smile with defined edges.
• Thinning lips will appear fuller.
• A natural looking result, balancing out the rest of your facial features.
• Rediscovering your youthful lips.
• The corners of the mouth will turn upwards.
• Make-up will be easier to apply.

Our lips start slowly losing volume after the age of 16, which causes the V-shape of our upper lips to flatten, while the corners of our mouths slightly turn down. Lip augmentation can add shape and volume to thinning or ageing lips using dermal fillers, whilst still maintaining a natural look.

It's important, after a lip enhancement to follow the after care instructions to make sure that your results stay looking as good as they can.

• Use an ice pack to numb the lips to reduce any swelling and tenderness.
• After the procedure, try not to touch your lips for at least six hours. Any rubbing, peeling or scratching can irritation or scar.
• Following the procedure, only use cold or tepid water to wash the lips. Do not use scented products or scrub or exfoliate the area.
• Perspiration can cause further irritation to the lips, so avoid strenuous activities.
• To lessen the amount of water that makes contact with the lips, apply a thin layer of lip balm to the lips.

Most people who have lip enhancement treatment want to achieve smooth, plump, wrinkle-free and youthful looking lips. Everybody's face structure is different and so is their ideal lip shape and size. One thing we all want to avoid though, is an overdone lip with excessive plumping and a pursed appearance, and the last thing you want, is to end up with a trout pout.

Beautiful lips can enhance your look, transform your face and boost your confidence.

Lip Shapes & Lip Augmentation using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we talk about celebrities who have beautiful lips, a few names will automatically come to mind. What makes the perfect pout? This is a question that has evolved through the years. Silent movie star Clara Bow in the 1920's with her bow lips, Marilyn Monroe and her classic red pout, right through to today and Angelina Jolie and her full luscious lips, all of them have a signature look.

1920's movie star Clara Bow and Marilyn Monroe

                                                

Over the years lots of lip shapes have become well-known by being associated with Hollywood actresses, singers or models. Lips can look thin, wide, round or full and plump, and while some have to apply lip liner and gloss to make their lips dazzle, others are born with naturally gorgeous pouts.

In Hollywood when lips are spoken of, we automatically think of Angelina Jolie. Her lips are one of her best features, and one that many women have tried emulate, and Julia Roberts is another actress that has a pair of lips that many women envy.

Angelina Jolie has full lips

But their lips are just a couple of lip shapes, here are a few more:

• Full Lips: Like Angelina, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was also born with full natural lips, but has allegedly had fillers in recent times. Both of the lips are full but with more volume on the bottom lip. Fuller lips may not always be symmetrical but they are curvy and voluptuous.
• Round Lips: These lips look round, like a button and it's a very cute look. They may not look as sexy as full lips, but they do look very flirty, as Drew Barrymore shows us with her small mouth and pouty lips.
• Wide Lips: Julia Roberts is known for her wide lips and beaming smile. But there’s a big difference between full lips and wide lips. Actress Anne Hathaway's lips aren't full of volume, but are full in the sense that the lips are defined, and when she smiles it's very easy to notice that the lips are wider than those of most people.
• Thin Lips: Think of Kate Hudson for this type of lip and you will understand that Hollywood stars look gorgeous with their own natural pouts, whether the pout is plump or thin. Thin lips have a delicate look about them that big voluptuous lips do not.
• Bow or Heart-shaped Lips: This lip shape resembles a heart and expands like a bow. The lip is usually normal size and not too wide, but the lower lip tends to be slightly larger. Actresses Hayden Panettiere and Reese Witherspoon have this lip shape. Bow or heart-shaped lips are one of the most feminine of all lip shapes.

In recent times though, we have seen a new trend of overdrawn and over inflated lips. Kylie Jenner, Amy Childs and Courtney Love are just a few celebrities championing this look.

Kylie Jenner before and after lip fillers

Lip augmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure for enhancing the look of the lips, making them fuller with a prominent lip line. We do this by injecting a dermal filler and is a safe and effective way to plump up thin lips.

At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic a patient may come in for a lip augmentation with a picture of a celebrity whose lips that they want to copy, but the shape is not suitable for their lips. A good cosmetic doctor will be able to tell you what  style of lips will best suit your face and lip shape.

So if you want to catch a man’s attention, don’t bother fluttering your eyelashes or flicking your hair. Just practise your pout.

Dermal Filler for Lip Enhancement & Healthy Pink Lips - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all want luscious, soft, plump lips but unfortunately not all of us are lucky enough to have them! But, at Selston Cosmetic Clinic we can help you with a lip enhancement and once you have beautiful lips, we can help you to keep them in tip-top condition.

Imagine your lips are a sponge. When they are exposed to moisture, they absorb the water and plump up, but when they're dehydrated, they dry out and shrink. As lips are always exposed, they tend to get dehydrated, especially during the cold, windy winter months. It's a fact, that naturally rosy, pink lips are appealing to look at but there are many things that can cause the natural shade of your lips to go darker. Things like sun exposure, UV rays, allergies, smoking, caffeine and hormonal imbalances can result in dull looking lips. However, there are many ways to lighten dark lips.

A few tips to help keep your lips looking natural with a healthy pink blush:

• Dark lipsticks may take away the pinkish hue from your lips, eventually leading to pigmented lips, so try wearing soft or nude colours.
• Stop smoking, as nicotine causes darkening and discolouration of the lips, so if you want pink and healthy lips it's best to quit smoking. Plus it will help to prevent getting smokers lines around the lips.
• Cut down on your coffee and tea intake, as components of caffeine can darken the lips.
• Avoid sun exposure as the sun is known to increase the synthesis of melanin in the body. It's ideal to protect the lips from the harmful UV rays by using lip balms and lipsticks which contain SPF or other sunscreens, to make sure you keep your pink and healthy lips.
• Use good quality cosmetics. A lot of lipsticks and other artificial cosmetics can cause harm to the lips because of the corrosive chemicals in them. Prolonged use of cosmetics on the lips, especially the cheap quality ones, can cause pigmentation. Remember to check the expiry date of the cosmetic, as using an expired product can cause allergies.
• Maintain a healthy diet as it will help make your skin glow and make your lips look more healthy and natural. Eat plenty of fresh salads and fruits and stay away from oily and junk foods and avoid fizzy drinks. Have a diet rich in vitamins, as vitamins like Vitamin C naturally moisturise the lips.
• Nervous habits, like biting your lips can cause damage to them, making them chapped, or worse, by making them bleed. Try to avoid biting your lips by wearing lipstick as a prevention, or maybe use lip balm that you don't like the flavour of.

Once the health and condition of your lips is in order, you may want to plump them up. At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic dermal filler treatment for lip enhancement is a quick and safe way to give you fuller lips with a natural freshness and can also minimise the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Once the dermal filler gets injected, you will see an instant result, with fuller, well-defined, contoured lips. The fillers used are hyaluronic acid based, which is a natural component of the skin, meaning the risk of adverse reactions to the procedure is very, very small.

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 Enhancement for Fuller Lips Using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Lots of women today are longing to get the plump and sexy lips that they were denied by Mother Nature. Fuller lips have always been considered a sign of beauty but over time, lips change. Remember how full your lips looked when you were younger? Are they looking thinner? And what about those lip lines that look even more noticeable when you try to hide them with make-up?

It seems everywhere you look, you see models, singers and actresses on the pages of magazine covers, with that seemingly impossible-to-achieve look of full, luscious, pouty lips. But the truth is, most of them weren't born with these fabulous lips and this is one of the reasons why lip enhancement procedures are becoming so popular these days.

Good quality make-up isn't cheap these days, and there's not much point in applying expensive lipstick to unworthy lips, so there are few things you should consider before applying that lip colour. We weren't all born with nice full lips, so it's quite natural for us to look enviously at those that do, but luckily, there are ways that can improve the appearance of your lips.

Lip enhancement is a cosmetic procedure that adds fullness to thin lips. It can create a dramatic improvement in both upper and lower lips, making the lips and face look more youthful. With lip enhancement, the lips get more definition, look plumper, and wrinkles and fine lines found on the top lip can be reduced.

Ageing is considered a necessary evil by most people, so it's no wonder that we want cosmetic procedures to help hold on to our youthfulness. Lip enhancements are becoming a popular way to add youth and shape to a face, as over time, lips naturally lose plumpness and volume, which makes lip enhancements a great way to bring back these lost qualities. This simple procedure also minimizes fine lines and wrinkles surrounding the mouth, adding to an even more youthful look.

Benefits of Lip Injections:

• Safe and non invasive procedure
• Provides quick and effective results
• Provides volume to thin lips, thus improving looks and confidence
• Minimal recovery time and side effects
• Patients can resume routine activities almost immediately

A procedure can help you achieve full, sensual lips and on top of this, it could also contribute to the enhancement of your entire face. At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic you can book a consultation, where Dr Bassi will give you one on one advice on what's best for you. No two faces are similar, so he tailors his lip filler treatment to each individual patient. His ultimate objective is that all his clients look and feel their very best.

Whether your goal is to look younger and more desirable, or to become more self-confident, lip enhancement is a quick and simple way to give you fuller, plumper lips, and reduce fine wrinkles around the mouth.

It's never too late for kissable lips.
