Achieve the most luscious, hydrated, natural-looking #luxelips with Lip Filler.

For lip filler treatments in Denver, Boulder or Fort Collins, we will generally numb the area to be treated prior to making any lip injections.  This leaves for a surprisingly easy treatment to tolerate. Another plus, most lip fillers actually contain lidocaine which is a great numbing agent! Once numb, the treatment itself takes about 15-20 minutes. You will be swollen afterwards but the main swelling generally subsides in 48 hours, and ALL swelling generally subsides by one week. 

This is different for everyone but for most it is either a half syringe or a full syringe of lip filler, usually the full syringe. Your Denver injector or Boulder / Fort Collins injector will be able to advise the best amount of filler for you based on your natural lip goals and overall aesthetic balance of your features.

It can also depend on what ‘canvas’ we’re starting out with.  Most of the time, we do the treatment in 1 session. But, for example, if we’re starting out with very thin lips, we may divide the dermal filler treatment into at least 2 sessions giving the lips time to slowly build which leads to a MUCH more natural look. Also, if you already have larger lips or if your lips are very dehydrated/wrinkled, you may even need two or more syringes which is done over two or more sessions (usually 1+ months apart) to get the result you’re wanting. Patience, grasshopper.

Common side effects are slight redness at the injection site, bruising, and swelling. With the swelling, you can expect the main swelling to generally subside in 48 hours, then ALL swelling is generally gone by one week.

After your treatment, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• DON’T TOUCH the treated area for 6 hours! We don’t want any infections.
• No applying any product (like makeup or lip product) the rest of the day of treatment. Again – infection risk!
• You can use a clean ice pack wrapped in gauze after your treatment – keep the ice pack wrapped (you’ll be numb so won’t feel how cold it is) and apply for up to 15 minutes every hour the day of the treatment. This will help minimize bruising and swelling.
• No exercise or intense heat for the rest of the day of your treatment.
• Don’t plan on doing invasive dental work for 2 weeks post filler unless absolutely necessary.
• Don’t have any laser or invasive treatments to the area where the filler was placed for 4 weeks post treatment.
• Do not use any lip suction/plumper device if there is any dermal filler in the lips! (hopefully that trend is out the door by now!)
• It’s normal to start feeling tender in the areas treated shortly after. This can last for a few days but should keep improving. Tylenol is the best thing to take for this (Advil or other NSAIDS can increase your risk of bruising even after treatment, but are completely safe to take if you prefer!)
• It’s normal to have quite a bit of swelling. This is usually most noticeable the night of and the day after your treatment. Ice packs and sleeping at a 20-30 degree angle will help improve swelling.

Anyone pregnant/breastfeeding, anyone who’s had dental work done in the past two weeks (like tooth removal or implants), anyone who has had any vaccines in the past two weeks, or anyone who currently has any type of active infection or illness.
