Cosmetic Creams And Injectable Lip Fillers Comparison

What are lip fillers?

This is a substance for correcting the shape and volume. Previously, it was used for medical purposes: to fill voids after surgery, to eliminate the consequences of an accident, etc. In the early 2000s, injection contouring became popular. So fillers appeared in beauty salons.

Experts roughly distinguish 2 types of lip fillers – permanent and degradable.

Both types are injected with a needle under the skin, only a beautician can do this. This approach is not suitable for everyone – someone is afraid of needles, someone does not dare to undergo medical intervention. This is where the cosmetics industry comes in.

What are cosmetic filler-like creams and balms?

Creams, gels, lip balms – there are many products on the market that contain hyaluronic acid. Their advantage is the availability and absence of contraindications (or they are insignificant).

It is important to remember: not a single jar of cream will give such a long-term effect as filler injections from a beautician. Do not expect miracles even from the most expensive creams; the maximum effect of the purchase is good hydration, smoothing of mimic wrinkles and the absence of allergic reactions due to high quality ingredients. Lips might really increase in volume after application – but this is only a temporary effect.

 

For those who are not ready to go to the doctor, but want to get some feeling of plump lips, our lip cosmetics review might help!

Tips from Cosmed Laser Center:

If you are a beautician:

In our practice, we use only FDA approved fillers, this guarantees safety. Well proven are Belotero, Juvederm, Revanesse Versa and others.
Choose only proven and popular brands, this eliminates unpleasant consequences. Always open the syringe with the agent in front of the client; if there remains a lot of the drug, do not store it – after opening, the oxidation reaction begins and the drug loses its properties. And, of course, you can not use the leftover product on another person. Think about a reasonable amount: if the lips are thin, 0.5 ml will be enough.

 

If you are a client:

What are the best lip fillers? From a cosmetic cream, you should expect only moisturizing and smoothing wrinkles. Lip filler injection gives an increase of 1.5-2.5 times. Choose a product depending on the desired effect.

Any change in appearance is a serious matter, so seek professional advice. And keep in mind – only injectable  fillers give a long-term effect and procedures should be performed by cosmetologists.
