Lip filler: Myths & Misconceptions

  • Blogs

When people are considering lip fillers some common misconception people often make is to feel wary about having the treatment.

As with cosmetic surgery, there has been a stigma surrounding lip fillers that have been a result of the media showcasing ‘botched jobs’. However, with time, this stigma is starting to dissipate, as high-profile celebrities and many other influencers showcase their results on social media and other platforms. These celebrities and influencers are clear examples that, when done correctly, lip fillers can achieve amazing results.

“Lip fillers are only for the more mature”

While lip fillers are a great, proven method to keep you looking youthful, their benefits aren’t exclusive to the mature. The collagen growth-promoting qualities of Hyaluronic-based fillers mean that if you are to have lip fillers at a younger age, they will have a preventative effect against ageing. The belief that lip fillers are for the mature is very much a thing of the past. As fashion has changed many more 20-30-year-olds desire lips with a more full appearance and lip fillers in Mayfair are the ideal way to achieve the best results.

 “Lip fillers are only for thin lips”

Although lip fillers are known for filling lips, there are many other great uses for lip fillers. They can contour your mouth, hydrate dry lips, define your cupid’s bow and can also be used to help improve the overall symmetry of your face. The possibilities are endless!

“If I get lip fillers there’s no changing or going back”

At L’Atelier we use Hyaluronic based dermal filler, which is not the same as permanent silicone filler. This is great because it allows a natural-appearing enhancement and also allows us to make changes in the future if your desires and needs change.

“Lip fillers are only for women”

Again, this is completely false. Both men and women can benefit from lip fillers. This is more of a social stigma where men may be portrayed as less masculine for having cosmetic procedures. Despite this, there has been an increase in young men wanting to change the look of their lips through the use of dermal fillers.

“Anyone can do the procedure and any filler is fine”

When getting lip fillers, it is pivotal that a professional, who is properly qualified and highly experienced, does it. This ensures that you get the results you want without any complications. It is also important to look at the different types of fillers available so that you can get the optimal result. Here at L’Atelier Aesthetics, we have specially trained providers available to help you achieve your best results.

Bring on the rest of the festivities. 🎄✨JULÄINE (PLLA) is one of our go-to options when someone wants better skin integrity rather than added volume.

It sits in a slightly different category to fillers and biostimulators you may already know, working gradually to improve how the skin holds itself over time.

We use it where the skin is starting to look a little less supported (under-eyes, mid-face, jawline, neck) or when texture changes are becoming more noticeable.

The treatment is done as a short course over several weeks, with improvements developing naturally in the months that follow.

If you’re curious whether JULÄINE suits your skin goals, you can book a consultation with Dr Duncan for a personalised assessment.

Old fibres break down faster than new ones are built.
Microneedling reawakens this process, rebuilding the skin’s internal scaffolding instead of just treating the surface.
