I get asked a lot “should I have lip filler, or should I have lip boosters?“
Let’s look at each treatment in more detail.
What are lip fillers?
Lip fillers are an injectable treatment designed to enhance the lips adding volume and shape. Most lip fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that hydrates the skin and provides fullness. These fillers are non-permanent, typically lasting between 6-18 months depending on the individual and the type of filler used.
If you’re looking to add volume to naturally thin lips or seeking to restore lost fullness due to aging or want better symmetry and definition, then lip filler could be right for you! Lip fillers also hydrate the lips and smooth fine lines for that youthful plump look. Injections can be spaced out over several sessions for a subtler, more natural result. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase at any time.
What are Lip Boosters?
Lip boosters are designed to enhance lip hydration, smoothness, and overall appearance and are also hyaluronic acid-based.
They are great for enhancing the existing lip shape with a little plumping. Lip boosters are great working alongside filler to hydrate already-filled lips between filler appointments, or alone for anyone seeking plump hydrated lips who are happy with the shape and symmetry of their own lips. It is recommended to have lip boosters every 3-4 months to help improve the hydration and health of the lip tissue. If you are not ready or don’t want to go down the lip filler route, lip boosters are a great way to enhance your lips naturally.
In summary, if you would like to enhance the volume and shape of your lips then lip filler is your go-to, with the added benefit of hydration. If you are happy with the shape and fullness but want to hydrate and improve the health of your lips, try lip boosters!
In winter time, going from indoor heating to the cold outside can play havoc with not only your lip hydration but also your skin, so lip and skin boosters are a fantastic natural way to give your skin a helping hand through the colder months, and keep you glowing!
