LET’S TALK LIP FILLERS

Let’s talk lip fillers. Lip fillers involve a procedure that you may have thought about once, twice, or all the time while you scroll down your Instagram feed. This gorgeous enhancement is a non-surgical semi-permanent treatment. Lip fillers have become one of the most popular and requested facial enhancements within the past three years. If Kylie Jenner can make thousands – or even millions – off of her lips, imagine the impact you could make with yours! To be fair, Kylie was already famous, but her lips definitely helped her become an Instagram sensation. It is what it is. Lip fillers can be an intimidating thing, so it is our job at J Marie Skin Studios in Longmont, Colorado to make you feel confident about the decision.


FILLER DETAIL

Our main mission here is to make the decision to pursue lip fillers an easy and attractive decision. We’ll start by getting into the nitty-gritty of fillers. Fillers are also known as injectable cosmetic fillers and injectable facial fillers; they are a soft tissue serum consisting of sugar molecules, hyaluronic acids, and collagen. Your body breaks down fillers just like it breaks down its own soft tissue. Fillers are semi-permanent – meaning the lifespan is determined upon the health of your skin, how quick your body metabolizes, and the type of filler used. The purpose of fillers is to fill in wrinkles, thus creating a smooth surface and accentuating features while lasting anywhere from six months to two years. Fillers are a non-invasive procedure with little to no pain during treatment – not to mention little downtime as far as returning to your routine. The results can be immediate; although, it is important to know that some swelling can occur post-treatment.


FILLER TRICK


Think of fillers like valleys within your face and body. The valley is the indent of the wrinkle; the filler then goes into the valley – filling it up to the same height as the field of your skin. This little trick is a good way to remember the difference between a filler and Botox. Note that fillers can also be used to raise up other features within the face other than wrinkles, such as raising the lips. Another good thing to know is that all fillers have been certified by the FDA.
