At Salt Aesthetics – Lumina Station (Formerly Coastal) of the Wilmington, North Carolina, area, patients considering ways to augment the lips or other parts of the face are often advised by our certified Physician Assistant, Ms. Theresa Hoffman, about the many benefits of Juvederm injections. This face and lip filler has been used for years to help men and women achieve their skincare goals. Let’s take a look at Juvederm and the steps involved in the procedure.
What is Juvederm?
Juvederm is one of many dermal fillers on the market, but what sets it apart is its main ingredient: hyaluronic acid. This naturally occurring substance in the body helps plump and hydrate the skin, making it a popular choice for lip augmentation and facial contouring treatments.
While there are different types of Juvederm, they all work by injecting very small amounts of hyaluronic acid into targeted areas. This stimulates collagen production and adds volume to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. Many of our patients at Salt Aesthetics – Lumina Station (Formerly Coastal) also use this filler as a lip augmentation solution.
What are the five steps in getting Juvederm lip filler augmentation?
- Consultation Appointment. First things first. You’ll meet with our skilled and board-certified physician to discuss your lip goals. Do you want a subtle plump or a more dramatic pout? This is your chance to share your vision and ask any questions. Think of it as lip makeover brainstorming!
- Preparation and Anesthetics. Once your goals are set, it’s time for prep! Your lips are cleaned, and a numbing cream is typically applied to ensure your comfort throughout the process. No need to worry. This step is all about making the experience as smooth as possible and ensuring your optimum comfort.
- Precision Perfecting. The practitioner will carefully inject Juvederm into specific areas of your lips using a super-fine needle. The process is quick and precise, with adjustments made to achieve the perfect balance and symmetry. You are in the hands of a lip artist when you are under the care of the team at Salt Aesthetics – Lumina Station (Formerly Coastal)!
- Massage and Shape. After the injections, the practitioner might gently massage your lips to ensure the filler spreads evenly and shapes beautifully. This is all part of creating that natural, pillow-soft look.
- Admire the Results and Review Care Tips. Once your lips are plumped to perfection, you’ll get a mirror moment to admire the results. Your practitioner will also walk you through aftercare tips, like avoiding extreme heat or pressure on your lips for a few days.
