Do you want fuller, plumper lips? Lip Filler Treatments can help you achieve the perfect pout.
In this guide, we will explore everything you need to know about lip fillers, from the basics of the treatment to the various options available at Raw Beauty Aesthetics.
Let’s dive in and discover how you can perfect your pout.
What is Lip Filler?
Lip filler treatment is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting dermal fillers into the lips. The filler is primarily made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the body that provides volume to the skin. This treatment has become increasingly popular for those seeking to enhance lip volume or alter their lip shape.
How Does Lip Filler Work?
A skilled Raw Beauty practitioner will inject the filler into specific lip areas according to your desired outcome during the lip filler treatment. Juvederm or Restylane, both FDA-approved fillers, offer different textures to suit various needs. Juvederm provides instant results, while Restylane showcases a more granular texture.
Lip Filler Options
Raw Beauty Aesthetics in Woodland Hills, CA, offers a range of options to perfect your pout. Our experienced practitioners discuss your expectations and guide you in selecting the most suitable lip filler for your desired results.
What is the Lip Filler Process?
- Your Raw Beauty practitioner will apply a topical anesthetic to your lips to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
- After allowing time for the anesthetic to take effect, the filler will be delicately injected into your lips using a small, thin needle.
- The injection process is precise and takes 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of your procedure.
- After the injection, gentle lip massage and the application of an ice pack will help alleviate any swelling or bruising.
Lip Filler Results and Aftercare
You will see the transformation within days as your lips reveal the filler treatment results. The amount and placement of the filler impact the size and shape of your lips, with effects lasting between 12 to 18 months.
Proper aftercare is essential for swift recovery, including avoiding lip products, refraining from strenuous activities, and removing actions that may stress the treated area.
Who Can Get Lip Filler?
To qualify for lip filler treatment, individuals must be at least 21 years old, free from allergies to filler ingredients, and without bleeding disorders.
Pregnant individuals are advised to wait until after pregnancy, as the effects of lip filler during pregnancy are not thoroughly studied.
Side Effects and Considerations
While lip filler treatments are generally safe, temporary side effects such as swelling and bruising may occur. Proper aftercare, including avoiding lip products and physical activities, contributes to a smoother recovery.
It’s essential to be aware of potential risks, and in case of complications, consulting with the practitioner is paramount.
How Can I Ensure My Lip Filler Lasts?
Maintaining your lip filler results involves understanding your metabolism, as a higher metabolism may shorten the longevity of fillers.
Adopting a cautious approach to aftercare, choosing a reputable professional, and selecting a suitable filler based on your goals contribute to prolonged and satisfying results.

Your Lip Filler FAQs
How soon after lip fillers can I wear lip balm or lipstick?
There’s no medical reason why you can’t wear lip balm, lip gloss, or lipstick after a lip filler treatment. However, it’s recommended that you wait for at least a day before applying any makeup to the treated area, as the lips may feel tender after the procedure.
Can I drink alcohol after lip fillers?
While alcohol consumption does not interfere with the results of lip filler treatments, it is recommended to avoid drinking for 24 hours after the procedure to minimize the risk of bruising.
Can lip fillers look natural?
Yes, lip fillers can produce natural-looking results. Our practitioners at Raw Beauty Aesthetics are highly skilled and experienced in creating subtle and natural enhancements tailored to your unique aesthetic goals.
Do lip fillers hurt?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the lip filler treatment. To further minimize any discomfort or anxiety, we can apply a local anesthetic to the treatment area.
Are lip fillers vegan?
The hyaluronic acid used in FDA-approved fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane is suitable for vegans. However, you must check with your practitioner if you have any concerns.
How do you reduce swelling after lip fillers?
Swelling is a common side effect of lip filler treatments and can be eased by applying ice to the treated area using an ice pack or a cloth-covered ice cube. Swelling typically subsides within two weeks post-treatment. If you experience discomfort or have concerns, please consult your practitioner.
