Can you get lip fillers while pregnant?

According to the FDA, pregnant women should not get lip fillers because of their constantly fluctuating hormones. If you are pregnant and looking to start or continue getting lip fillers, contact one of our medical providers/nurse practitioners to discuss safe options. Our goal is to keep you AND your baby safe!

Who is a candidate for lip fillers?

An ideal candidate for lip fillers is any individual who is over the age of 18 years old, has decent overall health, and who doesn't smoke. We also believe our clients should demonstrate a commitment to caring for their skin.

Similar to a shot or any other intervention that involves needles, lip fillers are not painless. We tell all clients to expect a slight pinch and mild discomfort, but that the pain is by no means unbearable.

Are lip fillers permanent?

Lip fillers are considered a semi-permanent intervention. This is because they last approximately six months to a year, but clients must continually come to get fillers again to maintain the same great results.

Are lip fillers safe?

Lip fillers are approved by the FDA. However, these fillers must be administered by a licensed, medical provider or nurse practitioner in order to be considered "safe".

Can I smoke after lip injections

The use of cigarettes during lip filler treatment has been shown to increase your risk for infection. The smoking process also causes your lips to pucker, which can apply pressure on the sensitive tissue and be painful after injections.

Are you looking to increase the volume and size of your lips? According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 27,000 lip augmentation procedures were performed in the year of 2016. This number has continued to grow over the years as lip fillers become more and more popular. At Pure Skin, we are proud to have a staff of licensed, experienced injectable providers who can safely administer lip fillers to any clients wishing to enhance their lips.

What Are Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers, otherwise known as lip augmentation, is when a medical professional injects a substance containing hyaluronic acid into a client’s lips. The effects of these lip fillers typically remain for about six months, which means that in order for clients to keep the same shape and volume from the fillers, they must continue to get fillers. At Pure Skin, we utilize all types of Juvederm Restylane fillers.

The Benefits of Lip Fillers

The main function of lip fillers is to have naturally fuller lips. However, there are a number of other notable benefits to lip fillers as well, including:

The Lip Filler Process

The lip filler process is quick, yet extremely effective. At Pure Skin, we believe in speaking with each of our clients prior to any service they are receiving so that they can understand the process, ask questions, and voice any concerns. The following outlines each step of the lip filler process:

Assessment. One of our trained medical providers will assess the client’s lips, and take a look at overall symmetry, balance, etc.

Discussion. The professional will then inform the client about the procedure, and ask if the client has any questions or concerns before beginning. One of our main priorities is to ensure that our clients feel comfortable before starting any procedures.

Numbing. The medical provider will put a numbing cream on your lips. It will take approximately 10-15 minutes for this cream to work.

Injection. Based on the initial assessment, the medical provider will inject the lip fillers in the appropriate areas of your lips. The whole service takes about 15 minutes, but could take more time depending how many areas of the lip must be injected.

Post-injection. The medical provider will then inform you about what to do following the procedure. Typically, we suggest that people do not kiss or massage lips for 24 hours after their first lip filler injection.

How Much Do Lip Fillers Cost?

Lip fillers can cost $400 to $2,000. This depends on the particular filler used, your overall goals, how many vials/syringes, etc.

How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?

Lip fillers can last 6 months to a year. However, this depends on the particular filler used and other determining factors. It is best to ask your medical provider/nurse practitioner how long they estimate your lip fillers will last.

The genuine service and advice received here, as well as the outcome of the services and advice, show that my money is being well spent here. Happy I invested in myself at Pure Skin. Other medical spas have made me feel as though I don’t belong there, but here they treat everyone as a priority and I’ve never felt more comfortable. I’ve been a loyal client for over a year now 💜

Pure Skin is amazing! I had previously gotten my lips done elsewhere and I was so upset with the results- Jen at Pure Skin transformed my thin lips into a sexy plumped pout! I can't recommend this place enough! I already made my 6 week follow up because I am so excited! Pure skin is also super clean and covid cautious- they know what theyre doing! Keep up the great work!

- Lindsay C.

My very first visit here and I was greeted with smiles and kindness. I’m new at this so for me I should have paid attention more. They offer a second visit within two weeks if your not happy. Because it was my first time I didn’t understand that the lips usually take a second fill to “ fill” up. I respect the fact that they at least do that. I’m pleased with their product. The place itself is beautiful as well. Can’t wait for my second fill

- Robbin S.
