Pucker Up for Valentine’s Day: Your Guide to Perfect Lips with Juvéderm®

Valentine’s Day is coming soon. Now is the time to write love letters, buy gifts, and make dinner reservations to prepare for the most romantic time of year. For some people, it’s an excellent time to book cosmetic treatments.

Expert injector Asha Hill, NP, places fillers to enhance your features for months at a time. At Pure Bliss Medspa in Sandy Springs, Georgia, she specializes in lip filler using high-end Juvéderm® products. Juvéderm can add volume where volume has been lost over time. 

Some people may think that their thin or wrinkled lips don’t exactly invite the perfect Valentine’s kiss. If you wish your lips were a little fuller, plumper, or more symmetrical, Juvéderm fillers are an excellent and long-lasting solution.

Here’s everything you should know before getting lip filler in time for your Valentine’s date:

Planning your treatment

The first step toward rejuvenating your lips with Juvéderm fillers is to visit Pure Bliss Medspa for an in-depth, personalized consultation. During this initial visit, Asha examines your lips in their current state.

You may have naturally thin lips, or your lips may have lost volume over time from smoking or aging. In any case, you may discuss your expectations. Let Asha know if you want your lips to be more symmetrical, less wrinkled, or generally plumper.

What to expect while getting lip fillers

Once it’s time for treatment, Asha numbs your lips using a topical or local anesthetic. She may also give you ice to place on your lips to prepare them for the injections. It can take up to 30 minutes for your lips to become numb and ready for injection.

As an experienced injector, Asha understands facial balance and harmony. She places each injection carefully so the final result will look natural and flattering. For the injections, she uses a fine needle to minimize discomfort and bruising. 

After placing the injections, Asha may once again give you ice to soothe your lips. Asha will also monitor you for around 15 minutes before you can safely go home. You can go home the same day, but you should take it easy and avoid exercising for at least 24 hours. 

What to expect for results

Juvéderm fillers can make your lips look plumper and smoother without looking unnatural or overdone. Based on your needs and goals, you can expect:

• Fewer wrinkles on and around your lips
• Plumper and more pillowy lips
• Better mouth symmetry
• Optimized facial harmony

Results from Juvéderm lip fillers tend to last 12-18 months as they slowly disperse with time. If you liked the results from the first treatment, you can book follow-up visits with Asha to touch up your lip filler.

What to know about aftercare

You’ll have to take some extra steps to care for your lips after your Juvéderm treatment. You can expect a little swelling and bruising, which lasts no longer than a week. Keep this in mind while monitoring your results as you won’t be able to see the full effect until swelling is gone. 

To care for your lips, Asha advises you to:

• Use ice to ease swelling and pain
• Avoid touching or puckering your lips as they heal
• Drink lots of water
• Avoid lip products like lip balm and lip gloss for at least 24 hours

Call Pure Bliss Medspa if you have any questions or concerns about healing.
