Are Lip Fillers Safe?

Are Lip Fillers Safe?

It’s important to know what you’re putting into your body, which is why this question is so important. Reputable lip fillers – such as those by Juvederm, Restylane, and Teosyal – are a gel-like substance that closely mirrors hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring skin compound. This means that the actual material used is safe and accepted by the skin after some minor side effects, which we’ll explore shortly.

Your hyaluronic acid reserves and collagen naturally dwindle as you age, which is why dermal fillers are designed to mimic them.

Are Lip Fillers Permanent?

This is a very common concern that can thankfully be answered as no, the lip fillers we offer at Persona are not permanent. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are not permanent as they are made of a substance that closely mirrors your body’s own reserves and are naturally broken down by your body over time with your results gradually declining over time.

Dermal fillers have occasionally been given a false reputation because of their perceived association with permanent fillers. These permanent fillers use materials like silicon that are very unpredictable and come accompanied by plenty of risks. This is why many, many clinics forego permanent fillers, instead preferring the far safer and more natural-looking hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.

Who Should Be Able to Perform Lip Fillers?

The only professionals you should trust with any injectable treatments, including lip fillers, are medical professionals and independent prescribers.

These medical professionals, including doctors, dentists, and nurses, understand your facial anatomy and the inner workings of your skin and body like nobody else and therefore can perform safe and effective treatments.

However, as it stands, there is currently no UK legislation against who can technically perform lip fillers. This obviously means that you shouldn’t go to just anybody, but that you should take the time to find a qualified experinced professional to perform your treatments. You wouldn’t only be risking the quality of your results if you went elsewhere, but your safety, because medical professionals will also be trained in how to manage complications and side effects should they arise.
