| Vertical lip lines with loss of lip contour and fullness occurs with general ageing and especially in people who have smoked. This leads to bleeding of lipstick. The nasolabial fold also becomes more pronounced as we age. Fillers act as a means of reducing these lines by enhancing the lip contour and smoothing the lines on the lower face. They are made from soft malleable products which last for up to nine months in more mobile areas such as the lips. In less mobile areas the treatment effect may last for much longer. Newer treatments such as teosyal kiss for the lips provide longer lasting and durable treatments while also maintaining the softer smoother shape that reflects your natural lip tone. These products contain hyaluronic acid, a compound that is found naturally in the skin. These products are highly bio-compatable and no pre- treatment test is required. The product can be injected not only into the facial area but also into the neckline, neck, hands and décolletage. Naturally present in the skin hyaluronic acid preserves moisture, gives volume and boosts skin tone.
Injected into the dermis of the skin Teosyal effectively fills in wrinkles and lines, adds volume and definition to lips, softens facial contours whilst revitalising and hydrating the skin.
Side effects are usually related to the injection process, such as redness and slight swelling or some bruises. These usually resolve after a few days although lip treatments may take slightly longer. The product can give results lasting up to 12 months, and therefore is a safe, affordable alternative to cosmetic surgery and facelift procedures. |
