Lip Fillers in Meredith, NH

A topical anesthetic will be put on your lips by one of our experienced professionals before a lip filler procedure. The topical anesthetic will numb your lips so you don’t feel any pain and the process is as easy as possible. A lot of times, benzocaine, lidocaine, and tetracaine are in numbing creams, and y our lips should be numb in about 15 to 30 minutes.

Here at Life Medi Spa, our specialists will then use a thin needle to inject lip filler into any or all of your lips, including the edges, the curve in the middle of your upper lip, and the corners of your mouth. You won’t feel any pain, but you might feel like someone is pinching you, and your eyes might start to water.  The needle won’t go any further into your skin than 2.5 millimeters, and during the procedure, your specialist may put an ice pack on your lips to reduce swelling and bruises. The whole process could take as little as 30 minutes or as long as two hours, depending on each patient’s individual goals.

How long the treatment takes will depend on where the filler is being put and how much is needed. But most treatments with dermal fillers are quick and take less than 30 minutes. 

You can get your treatment on your lunch break! However, if numbing cream is used, it will take about 20 minutes for it to work before the treatment can start.

To get results that look natural, the person who injects the filler must have expertise in doing so. It is vital to work with a professional like Life Medi Spa, for your lip filler needs to make sure your results are safe, effective, and most importantly, natural!

If you stay on the safe side and stick to conservative treatments, your results will look more natural, less is more! For example, people with very thin lips shouldn’t get their lips treated to have a fuller look. Adding volume to these types of lips could make them look like a duck’s bill, which would result in a not-so-natural look for these patients.

Your doctor will probably put a numbing cream on the area to help relieve as much pain as possible. Lots of modern fillers also have lidocaine in them, which keeps the area numb after each injection.

Some parts of the face, like the lips, will be more sensitive than others. If you’re worried, talk to your doctor or nurse about ways to manage the pain. Here at Life Medi Spa, it is our goal to make this treatment as comfortable as possible for each of our patients.

If you don’t get lip filler treatments from a professional with a lot of experience, you could hurt damage your lips. Your lips could get permanently stretched, the tissue around your lips could die, the lip filler could harden, or the injection sites could get infected. 

With Life Medi Spa, there’s no need to worry, our professionals have the expertise to help you achieve your lip filler goals.

Your pain should go away in 12 to 24 hours. After 24 to 48 hours, the swelling should go away, but it could take up to a week. Make sure you are fully recovered before a big event by giving yourself two weeks to recover from a lip filler treatment.
