The Fotona LipLase non-invasive laser procedure is an excellent alternative for filler injections to make lips look fuller and add volume to the lips. This is a lip augmentation procedure that gives permanent results and is highly popular in the world.
What is the LipLase lip augmentation procedure?
This laser procedure for increasing lip volume takes less than 30 minutes. The procedure is practically painless and easily bearable, so it is also suitable for those who are scared of pain, needles, swelling or bruises. It is also possible to apply numbing cream on the lips, if requested.
During the procedure, you may feel minimal heat on your lips, caused by the laser energy, but the feeling will disappear within about an hour after the procedure.
What is the difference between the LipLase procedure and filler injections?
Lip augmentation with filler injections is usually performed with preparations that contain hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid fillers help to improve the form, structure and volume of the lips. Their effect lasts usually 6-12 months, and in order to maintain the perfect look, it is usually necessary to repeat the procedure on a regular basis. One of the benefits of using hyaluronic acid fillers is that they increase the volume of lips and can change the shape of the lips. Whether you wish to have more natural-looking lips or fuller lips, lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid fillers is usually very effective and efficient. Lip augmentation with fillers also has its downsides – for example, the injection can cause bruising and the filler can migrate (move from one place to another) over time. In addition, there may occur bleeding, redness, tenderness, infection at the injection site and this can sometimes activate herpes; there can occur necrosis of the skin, if the filler is injected into a blood vessel, etc.
The LipLase lip augmentation procedure, however, uses a more natural way to give fuller lips by increasing the body's own collagen production. The procedure has no side effects, because it uses only heat energy from the laser to stimulate the body's own collagen production.
How many LipLase procedures are necessary to achieve visibly fuller lips?
For visibly fuller lips, we recommend 3-6 procedures in every two weeks and at least one procedure after three months in order to maintain the maximum result. This helps to maintain and restore lost collagen for many years, which is necessary to prevent future loss of elasticity, sagging and thinning of the lips.
How does Fotona LipLase work?
The LipLase procedure consists of three stages:
The first stage involves the stimulation of the collagen of lips and around the mouth, performed with the Er: YAG laser from inside the mouth through the oral mucosa. In the second stage, the lips and lip area are tightened, using the Nd:Yag laser. The third stage involves superficial and gentle exfoliation with the Er:Yag laser. Since no needle is used, the procedure is painless, with no bruising or other side effects. The LipLase laser energy utilises its heat, directing the heat into the deepest layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production.
How is the recovery after the LipLase procedure?
Recovery occurs in three stages:
- Inflammatory stage: lasts about 1 day
- Superficial peeling: occurs after 2 or 3 days
- New collagen forms within 1 month
Care guidelines after the LipLase procedure:
- In 3 days after the procedure, do not use lipsticks, which contain pigment
- Drink at least 2 liters of water every day
- Use moisturizing lip balms or creams (such as coconut oil, Bepanthen)
When will I see the result of the LipLase procedure?
LipLase treatment promotes natural production of collagen and therefore depends on the natural collagen production ability of the patient's body. It is a gradual treatment process, which gives immediate visible results, but the best effect will become visible only after a couple of sessions, giving not only fuller, but also smoother lips.
The procedure is ideal for those who wish to achieve voluminous and smooth lips with a natural approach.
