Lovely luscious lips are something everyone wishes for, and that’s the reason why cosmetic procedures are becoming popular among women. A simple and efficient non-surgical treatment with dermal filler can give a fuller and shapely pout without the sting and swelling.
With ageing, we tend to lose the volume and collagen, thus our lips shrink and appear wrinkled. Fillers such as Juverderm are hyaluronic acid-based gels, that are good agents to plump up your lips The hyaluronic acid in them is a naturally occurring skin component to help maintain skin volume. It keeps the skin hydrated and makes it look youthful. It takes only a quarter of an hour. New-age Juvederm fillers require a very short procedure and the results last for up to a year. Post the filler treatment, here are a few pointers one needs to follow:
- Avoid smoking and intake of alcohol, as they dry-out the lips.
- Use a lip balm containing shea butter or Vitamin E to keep chapping of lips under control.
- Use lipstick or lip gloss with SPF 15 to protect lips from sun damage.
- Gently exfoliate with vaseline and damp cloth once a week to remove dead skin cells.
- Most importantly, drink ample amount of water to keep the skin hydrated and lips supple.
