Best Lip Fillers Near Me in Waverley, Pretoria

Lip fillers are dermal injections that add volume to your lips. They contain a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid helps keep our skin plumped, and although our bodies produce it naturally, the amount we produce diminishes as we age, causing wrinkles and fine lines. The synthetic lip injectable serves to ‘fill’ the lines around our lips and add volume to the lips themselves.

Lip fillers are injected into the upper and lower lips. There are several different types of lip fillers including Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma, and Perlane.

Fillers are not permanent, and there are several factors involved in determining how long they will keep your lips plumped for. However, you should expect your lip fillers to last between 6 and 18 months. Your practitioner will be able to give you a more accurate timeframe based on the injectable they use and your skin type.

Dermal fillers are normally safe when they’re carried out by an experienced, qualified practitioner. Risks of infection, lumpiness, scarring, unwanted filler movement, and blocked blood vessels (which can cause tissue death and even blindness) depend on the filler used and how well the procedure was carried out. If you’re concerned, talk with your practitioner before your appointment.

You should expect to pay between ZAR 750 and ZAR 1,950 for lip fillers in Waverley.

Do your research: your practitioner should be on a register that proves they meet particular training standards. Only ever book with experienced, highly qualified, fully insured practitioner, and don’t be shy about asking them about their insurance, qualifications and experience, nor what product they’re using, where it’s manufactured, and the potential side effects. It’s your right, and will help you make an informed decision on whether to have the procedure with them or not.
