Lip treatments with dermal filler can be done for several reasons. To enhance and boost what we already have, to give us more pout or to create symmetry. Our lips change with age, they become thinner and less defined, and we lose the natural fullness. Buy using a dermal filler that is safe and specifically for this area we can, restore that lost volume, and redefine the shape, and add
hydration so that the lips look more youthful.
You really don’t have to have a false, unnatural “trout pout”, a dermal filler lip treatment can be as subtle as you want it to be.
We can also improve the look of the lines around the mouth, sometimes referred to as smokers’ lines, and we can improve the downturned corners of the mouth.
We can use different types of filler for different purposes; a very light filler can just give hydration or a very subtle enhancement, a slightly stronger filler can give a more obvious fuller look that can still look natural.
There are a range of types of filler for all requirements, At alchemy we only use premium brands that have a high safety profile. For example Teoxane or Juvéderm.

What will I look like immediately after treatment?Immediately after treatment there will be some raised bumps, this will disappear over the next few hours. It is possible to get some bruising.

Do I need to do anything special before or after the treatment?Before treatment it is recommended to limit alcohol for 24 hors and limit the use of anti-inflammatory painkillers, both of these can increase the risk of bruising. Some supplements such as vitamin e and fish oils can also have this effect, so stopping these a few days before treatment can also be useful. Do not stop any prescribed prescription medication without discussing this first. After treatment, keep the hands clean and avoid the use of hand creams for 4 hours.
