Recovery time for lip fillers is generally minimal. Most clients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. To ensure a smooth recovery, it’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by our team.

The longevity of lip filler results varies depending on the type of filler used, the individual’s metabolism, and the specific treatment area. On average, hyaluronic acid-based fillers last between 6 to 12 months. To maintain your desired appearance, follow-up treatments may be recommended as the filler gradually breaks down and is absorbed by your body.

Lip fillers may cause some discomfort, but the level of pain experienced varies from person to person. To ensure your comfort during the procedure, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to numb the treatment area. Additionally, many lip fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to further minimize discomfort during the injection.

While lip fillers are generally safe and well-tolerated, there are some potential complications to be aware of. These may include infection, allergic reaction, lumps or irregularities, and prolonged swelling or bruising. At St. Albert Laser and Cosmetic Clinic, we prioritize your safety by using high-quality fillers, maintaining strict hygiene protocols, and employing experienced injectors to minimize the risk of complications.

If you’re unhappy with your lip filler results or experience complications, hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be dissolved using an injectable enzyme called hyaluronidase. This treatment breaks down the filler, allowing it to be absorbed by the body and reversing the effects of the initial lip filler procedure. It’s important to consult with our team if you have concerns or wish to reverse your lip filler treatment.

One of the primary goals of lip filler treatment is to achieve natural-looking results. At St. Albert Laser and Cosmetic Clinic, our experienced injectors use advanced techniques and carefully select the appropriate filler type and volume for your unique needs. By considering your facial anatomy, lip shape, and desired outcome, we strive to create beautifully enhanced lips that still maintain a natural appearance and feel. During your consultation, it’s essential to discuss your preferences and expectations to ensure that you and your injector are on the same page regarding the desired level of enhancement and naturalness.
