The Five Tips to Get Plump Lips
You can do a lot on your own to plump up your lips, or you can get help from professional aestheticians with treatments like Juvéderm injections.. Your choice will depend on your preferences and the results you hope to achieve. Here are our five top tips for increasing the volume of your lips.
1. Stay hydrated.
Dehydration can make your lips look thin and unattractive. It may seem too simple, but the truth is that drinking enough clear water is the first step you should take to have fuller lips. For many years, the standard recommendation was to drink eight cups of water per day. However, that might be a different amount for everyone.
According to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, women should drink 2.7 liters of water a day, and men should drink 3.7 liters of water per day. Other factors like weight and lifestyle can effect this as well. When you’re well-hydrated, your lips will look fuller.
2. Exfoliate your lips.
Exfoliating your lips increases circulation in your lips to make them look healthier. By scrubbing away dead skin, you allow your lips to reflect more light to appear larger. How do you exfoliate your lips? There are several ways. You can use a commercial lip scrub or make your own using coconut oil and brown sugar.
Or, you can use a gua sha stone, which is a sone with a ribbed side. By rubbing the scalloped side up and down quickly on your lips, you create friction that scrubs away dead skin cells and plumps your lips.
3. Take collagen supplements.
As you age, your body tends to lose collagen, a protein found naturally in your hair, skin, nails, bones, blood vessels, and connective tissues. When your lips lose collagen, they also lose volume. If you take collagen supplements every day, you can minimize collagen loss over time. You won’t see immediate results, but it can make a significant difference in the long run, making your lips fuller, moister, and more elastic.
4. Use a hyaluronic acid serum.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in your body. Using HA products on your skin can make it look younger, more hydrated, and glowing. Not only your lips but all your skin can benefit from daily hyaluronic acid. Applying these products to your lips is an excellent way to boost your lip volume for yourself. However, having lip injections with this same substance can enhance your lips even further.
5. Have Juvéderm lip injections.
Lip injections provide the ultimate lip volume enhancement. The cosmetic treatment we recommend is Juvéderm lip injections. Juvéderm is a dermal filler that contains hyaluronic acid, which plumps up your lips, cheeks, and other areas of your skin.
Juvéderm is not a permanent solution, but the results of the injections last many months, often for as long as up to two years. The most important thing is to have an authentic Juvéderm product and have it administered by an expert medical aesthetician.
More about Juvéderm for Plumper Lips
Lip injections are often the first cosmetic procedure women have. If you have questions, our medical aestheticians team is here to answer your concerns. Here are a few answers about Juvéderm to get you started.
What’s In Juvéderm?
Juvéderm is a dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid. It also contains a small amount of lidocaine to reduce the pain of the injection. This is a sterile, all-natural filler.
What’s the Best Type of Juvéderm for My Lips?
Several types of Juvéderm injections are used for various problem areas in your skin. The two that are commonly used for lip enhancement are Juvéderm Ultra XC and Juvéderm Volbella XC. The first can be used on and around your lips and are ideal for older adults who want to restore their original lip fullness. The second can be used on your lips and under your eyes. Both increase fullness.
What Does Juvéderm Treatment Feel Like?
When one of our aestheticians injects Juvéderm into your lips, the procedure is generally pain-free. First, the needles used for the injections are extremely fine. Second, the product itself contains lidocaine as a local anesthetic. What’s more, about 15-30 minutes before we do this part of the procedure, we apply a topical numbing cream.
For most of our patients, pain with Juvéderm injections is not a factor at all. While you might experience some redness or slight discomfort following your procedure, you are likely to have a speedy recovery process and minimal pain.
What’s the Recovery Like After Juvéderm Injections?
The results of lip injections with Juvéderm are instantaneous. However, you can do a few things to stay safe and achieve the best results. You can apply ice to your lips if they’re tender, and you can use topical creams to soothe them. In 7 to 10 days, you’ll see the final results of the treatment.
What Are the Risks of Using Juvéderm to Plump Lips?
If you have Juvéderm injections, you can expect to have few or no side effects. You may have temporary bruising or swelling right after the injections, but this will go away quickly. There is no risk at all that Juvéderm lip injections given by a skilled aesthetician will destroy your face. In fact, if you don’t like your results, we can reverse the procedure easily.
As for other side effects, an experienced medical aesthetician can resolve issues like hard nodules or inflammation that you report to them. Juvéderm is safe and FDA-approved. While you might be understandably anxious if it’s your first time getting injections, we’re here to walk you through the process.
