Lip filler brand names pile up fast. If you are new to this, start with two names, then learn how to ask about the rest.
The two names to know
Healthline at www.healthline.com states: Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acid-containing dermal fillers used to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. That gives you a starting vocabulary. It does not tell you which one suits your lips, and a clinician has to decide that.
How long it lasts
my.clevelandclinic.org states that Botox may last up to six months, while lip fillers can last up to 12 months. That gap is worth knowing if you are budgeting.
Read the safety side
The site www.fda.gov has a page on dermal fillers, also called soft tissue fillers, and a paper on complications in lip augmentation covers what can go wrong. Both are worth ten minutes before a consultation.
The cheap step and the step for a professional
The cheap step is to ask which product a clinic uses and why. Injecting it is not a do-it-yourself matter at all. Take your questions to a licensed clinician in the Hackettstown area and let the answers guide you.
