ABOUT LIP FILLER ↘
Lip filler uses a hyaluronic acid gel to add shape, definition and hydration to the lips. At Haus of Aesthetics Med Spa in San Antonio, our licensed injectors plan every lip treatment around your facial proportions, whether you want subtle hydration, a crisper border or more volume. The goal is lips that look like yours, only better.
HOW IT WORKS ↘
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule your skin already makes that attracts and holds water. Fillers made from it, including options from the Restylane® and RHA® collections, are placed in small amounts to build shape and volume and to smooth fine lines around the mouth. Because hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved if needed, it is a flexible choice for first-time clients.
THE TREATMENT EXPERIENCE ↘
Your visit begins with a consultation about the shape and size you want. Your injector reviews your facial balance and maps a plan that fits you.
Numbing cream is applied, and most fillers also contain lidocaine for comfort. Your injector then places the filler in small, precise amounts.
Treatment takes about 45 minutes. Some swelling or bruising is normal and usually settles within a few days.
WHAT TO EXPECT ↘
You'll see results right away. Swelling is usually most noticeable in the first 24 to 48 hours, and your lips settle into their final shape in about two weeks. Lip filler typically lasts 6 to 12 months, depending on the product used and your metabolism. Individual results vary.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ↘
-
Lip filler typically lasts 6 to 12 months. How long yours lasts depends on the product, the amount used and your metabolism. Many clients plan a touch-up about once a year to maintain their shape.
-
Yes. We recommend a quick follow-up about two weeks after treatment so your injector can check how your lips have settled. After that, most clients plan a touch-up every 6 to 12 months to keep results looking fresh.
-
For the first 24 hours, avoid anything that may cause the product to migrate or increase blood flow to the treated area. This includes:
Kissing or pressing on your lips
Rubbing or massaging your lips unless your injector tells you to
Strenuous exercise
Saunas, steam rooms, or hot yoga
Alcohol consumption
Facial treatments or massages
Wait 24 hours before applying lip products. Gentle ice can ease swelling, and you can return to most normal activities the same day. Call us with any questions or concerns.
