Lip enhancement is one of the most popular treatments at Charmed Medispa in Delaware, and whether it’s your first visit or a follow-up, it’s essential to choose the right amount of filler to achieve your desired look. When it comes to lip filler, patients often wonder whether they should opt for a full syringe or a mini syringe, especially during the first visit versus subsequent visits to boost their results.
First Visit Expectations
For first-time lip filler patients, it’s important to manage expectations. A single full syringe may sound like a lot, but it often provides just enough volume to create a subtle, natural enhancement. Many patients expect dramatic results with just one syringe, but the reality is that lips typically require more volume to achieve noticeable changes. A full syringe is usually recommended during the initial visit to build the foundation for fuller, well-defined lips. Keep in mind, that filler injections are a completely customized treatment done with artistry by our nurse injector, Loraine Savarese. There’s no one size fits all.
Loraine will guide first-time patients through the process, ensuring that the results align with their goals. A full syringe can add volume, shape, and structure to the lips, but for those looking for a more dramatic change, additional syringes might be necessary in the future. Interestingly, the FDA has approved up to 3 syringes for lip augmentation.
Mini Syringe for Follow-Up Visits
After the initial treatment, follow-up visits with a mini or half a syringe can be highly beneficial. Once the foundation is laid, a mini syringe allows for subtle enhancements and touch-ups that maintain the lip’s shape and fullness over time. This is an excellent option for patients who want to build upon their results gradually or who are maintaining a previous lip filler treatment.
Patients who opt for a mini syringe during their follow-up visits at Charmed Medispa often find that it provides just the right amount of volume to keep their lips looking fresh and naturally plump without the need for a full syringe.
Understanding the Lip Fillers: Restylane, Juvederm, Versa, and RHA
At Charmed Medispa, we offer a variety of lip fillers, each with unique properties. Here’s a breakdown of some popular choices:
- Restylane: Restylane is a versatile filler that can create soft, natural-looking lips. It’s known for its smooth texture and can provide both subtle volume and hydration. Restylane Kysse, specifically designed for lips, offers flexibility and natural movement while enhancing the lips’ color and texture.
- Juvederm: Juvederm is a go-to option for patients looking for a fuller, more dramatic lip. Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Volbella are popular for lip augmentation, with Volbella being a thinner gel, perfect for subtle enhancements and defining the lip lines.
- Versa: Versa is another option that provides a smooth and natural look. It has less swelling compared to some other fillers, making it ideal for patients who want immediate, natural results without downtime. It’s often favored for its balanced consistency, offering volume and softness.
- RHA: The RHA collection of fillers is relatively new and stands out for its resilience and ability to adapt to facial movements. RHA 2 and RHA 3 are ideal for lips, providing a flexible, soft finish that moves naturally with your expressions, offering a refined look that lasts longer.
