1. So what is a lip augmentation you ask?
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that is done in order to intensify the size and shape of your lips. This can be done in two ways, the first way is the most common way, it is carried out by using non surgical dermal fillers that contain Hyaluronic acid which is injected into the lips. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body which can be used to increase the volume of your lips. The Hyaluronic acid can improve the appearance of the lips by adding shape, structure and volume. The filler usually last around 6 months after this you will need more injections to keep up the desired effect.
The second way is where implants are surgically inserted to improve the volume of the lips permanently under local anaesthetic. We do not offer this at Laserlite clinic.

2. What happens during a consultation for lip augmentation?
During your consultation, you will discuss with the clinician what sort of look you desire. The clinician will then assess the shape, size and structure of your lips to see if you would benefit from the injectable filler and then the clinician will go on to discuss how the procedure is carried out, the risk's and side effects involved. Next you will also be asked to complete a health and medical questionnaire, after all that it will then be time to book your appointment to come in and receive the treatment if you still are happy to do so.

3.When will i be able to see the results?
The results are usually visible immediately once the swelling and possible bruising has subsided. Apply a cold compress gently to help bring down swelling.
4.Are they any common side effects?
The common side effects you will experience after the injections is that the lips will be quite large and swollen at first but that will go down within a few hours. There is a risk that you may have an allergic reaction to the filler and irritation may occur. In order to help minimize the risks of irritation we suggest; no sun exposure for 72 hours after treatment, no make up for 24 hours. And please do not touch the area for 12 hours.
5. Are injectable lip fillers reversible?
Injectable fillers are temporary and only last around six months , so they disappear in there own time however the fillers can be dissolved to decrease the size of the lip if you are not happy with the result.

Winter has finally arrived! However, the harsh weather conditions can lead to some individuals to experience flaky, dry and irritated skin as a result. I have put together a few simple steps that you can follow to combat winter-induced dry skin . 1. Exfoliate When trying to avoid dry winter skin it is important to gently exfoliate the surface of the skin before applying an effective facial moisturiser. However, if skin is already irritated exfoliating should not be advised as this may irritate the skin further. The exfoliation process removes the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin which may be clogging up pores and making it hard for your skin to absorb follow up products such as serums and moisturisers. Laserlite Clinic offers the Obagi 360 exfoliating cleanser- The product contains chemical and physical exfoliates that gently remove dead cells on the surface of the skin which helps to promotes healthy skin cell growth whilst reducing the appearance of dry skin. Laserlite clinic also offers Microdermabrasion treatments a painless, non-invasive procedure where a combination of a fine abrasive tip and vacuum suction is applied on the skin, resulting in the removal of dead and damaged cells. 2. Moisturise Effectively When fighting dry skin during the winter months it is essential to ensure that you’re moisturising daily in order to lock in your skins natural moisture. Studies have shown that the harsh conditions during the winter months can stiffen your skin and make it more susceptible to infections and breakouts. Moisturising effectively is the major key in tacking dry skin during the winter. Laserlite clinic offers a variety of effective facial moisturisers such as the Obagi360 HydraFactor SPF. This formula is packed with antioxidants to protect you against the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I t also contains essential hydrating ingredients that work effectively to combat dry skin during the winter season. Laserlite Clinic also offers Obagi HydrateR Moisturizer. This essential skin product is formulated to improve the overall softness of the skin and has been designed to be effective for a variety of different skin types. The naturally-derived ingredients present aids to provide long lasting smoothness. 3. Other Factors The things you feed your body also play a big part on the appearance of your skin. The harsher conditions will require you to replenish the moisture lost from your skin during the day. Hence ensure you stay hydrated constantly during the winter seasons. Health authorities’ advice that individuals should aim to drink around 2 litres of water a day- not only will this boost skin health and beauty it has a variety of other health benefits such as the maintenance of blood pressure and the lubrication of joints. There are many nutritional foods available that have a high water content such as cucumbers, tomatoes and citrus fruits.
