The passing of the years can reveal a loss of volume of our lips and the appearance of vertical wrinkles that form around the mouth, better known as bar code.
Each patient requires a previous clinical study and after this individualized and exhaustive analysis of each lip, the aesthetic medicine professional applies the hyaluronic acid treatment to augment the patient’s lips. Before starting the treatment, it is necessary that the aesthetic doctor performs a cleaning of the facial area to be treated.
The lip filler consists in the use of microcannulas of small thickness (the same as the needle), which is performed quickly, without pain or bruising, does not require anesthesia, as it is injected outside the perilabial area. The lip structures to be enhanced or augmented are treated according to the individual needs of each patient, with the patient’s consent. The patient has to take into account that, the first day, the lip is swollen. The results obtained after the operation are extremely natural and, after a month, retouching is assessed.
Hyaluronic acid filler implants are immediate, since the injected substance fills the wrinkles. The effect of hyaluronic acid usually lasts about 9-12 months, depending on several factors such as age, skin quality, etc. Therefore, after one year, new applications are usually required.
In the case of barcode wrinkles, 2 to 3 sessions are carried out at an interval of 15 days between each session, alternating hyaluronic acid with the new hydrolyzed atherocollagen, which does not require prior allergy testing, except for known hypersensitivity to collagen (to alternate hydration and firmness with skin regeneration).
