Everything You Need to Know Before Getting Lip Fillers at SKNN Clinic

Considering lip fillers? You're in good company! At SKNN Clinic Bangkok, we help countless clients achieve the beautiful, natural-looking lips they desire. Whether you're aiming to restore lost volume, define your lip shape, or simply add a touch of natural plumpness, lip fillers are one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments worldwide.

We believe in enhancing your features, not overpowering them, and our focus is always on creating subtle, balanced results that complement your unique beauty. But before you take the plunge, here’s everything you should know about the lip filler process, from preparation to aftercare, and why we confidently recommend Restylane Kysse for your perfect pout.

Why Lip Fillers Are So Popular

Lip fillers have become incredibly popular because they offer a versatile solution for various concerns. As we age, our lips can lose volume and definition. Additionally, some people naturally have thinner lips and desire more fullness. Lip fillers provide an effective, non-surgical way to:

  • Restore lost volume: Replenish the natural plumpness that diminishes over time.

  • Define lip shape: Enhance the Cupid's bow and border for a more distinct look.

  • Smooth lip lines: Reduce the appearance of fine lines around the mouth.

  • Achieve natural plumpness: Add a subtle, youthful fullness.

  • Improve symmetry: Correct minor imbalances in lip shape.

What Are Lip Fillers Made Of?

The majority of modern lip fillers are formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA). This is a substance naturally found in your body, playing a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration and plumpness. Because it's a naturally occurring compound, HA fillers are generally well-tolerated and provide natural-looking results.

At SKNN Clinic, we use Restylane Kysse, a premium hyaluronic acid filler specifically engineered for the lips. Restylane Kysse stands out because it offers:

  • Soft, natural movement: Your lips will feel and look natural, even when you smile, talk, or express yourself.

  • Long-lasting hydration: Keeps your lips feeling supple and moisturised.

  • Subtle volume and definition: Achieves an enhanced look without appearing "done."

  • Up to 12 months of results: Enjoy beautiful lips for an extended period.

How to Prepare for Your Lip Filler Appointment

Proper preparation is key to minimising swelling, bruising, and ensuring the best possible outcome. Follow these simple steps:

  • Avoid certain medications and supplements: For 48 hours before your appointment, steer clear of alcohol, blood thinners (like aspirin or ibuprofen), and Vitamin E. These can increase your risk of bruising.

  • Stay hydrated and well-rested: Good overall health contributes to a smoother recovery.

  • Inform your doctor about cold sores: If you are prone to cold sores, please notify us in advance. We may recommend an antiviral medication to prevent an outbreak.

  • Postpone dental work: Avoid any dental procedures for two weeks before or after your lip filler treatment.

What Happens During the Appointment?

Your lip filler appointment at SKNN Clinic Bangkok is a straightforward and comfortable process:

  1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. Your doctor will carefully assess your facial balance, current lip structure, and discuss your desired aesthetic goals. Our aim is always to create harmony and proportion that complements your overall features.

  2. Numbing: To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream will be applied to your lips. This significantly reduces any discomfort during the injections.

  3. Injection: Using a precise and expert technique, your doctor will carefully inject small amounts of Restylane Kysse into specific areas of your lips. The injection points and volume will be tailored to your customised plan, focusing on adding volume, shaping, or defining as needed.

  4. Aftercare & Review: After the injections, a gentle post-injection massage may be performed to ensure smooth distribution of the filler. You'll then receive detailed aftercare instructions to help you achieve optimal results.

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

You'll notice an immediate change in your lips right after the treatment. However, it's completely normal to experience some swelling for the first few days. The true, settled results will become visible after about 5–7 days, with the final shape and feel of your new lips fully noticeable by two weeks.

Lip Filler Aftercare Tips

Following these aftercare guidelines will help reduce swelling and bruising, and ensure a smooth recovery:

  • Avoid intense exercise: Refrain from strenuous physical activity for 24–48 hours after your treatment.

  • Elevate your head: Sleep with your head slightly elevated on pillows during the first night to minimise swelling.

  • Apply cold compresses gently: If needed, gently apply a cold compress to your lips for short periods to help reduce swelling.

  • Limit lip movements: For 24 hours, avoid kissing, drinking from straws, and smoking, as these actions can put pressure on the treated area.

  • Postpone other treatments: Do not schedule facials, dental work, or laser treatments for two weeks following your lip filler appointment.

Remember, a small amount of swelling or bruising is totally normal and will subside within a few days.

Why We Recommend Restylane Kysse

At SKNN Clinic Bangkok, we choose Restylane Kysse as our go-to lip filler because it's one of the most advanced and effective products available, specifically designed for the unique anatomy and movement of the lips. Its key benefits include:

  • XpresHAn Technology: This innovative technology allows the filler to integrate seamlessly with your lip tissue, ensuring soft, flexible movement and natural expression. Your lips will look and feel natural, not stiff.

  • Long-Lasting Results: Enjoy beautiful, enhanced lips for up to 12 months, depending on individual metabolism and lifestyle factors.

  • Great for First-Timers: Its smooth, soft texture and ability to provide gradual, natural-looking volume make it an excellent choice for those new to lip fillers.

  • Less Swelling: Compared to some traditional fillers, Restylane Kysse is known to cause less initial swelling, leading to a more comfortable experience and quicker visible results.

Our skilled aesthetic doctors at SKNN Clinic utilise Restylane Kysse to create customised, balanced results that perfectly complement your natural lip shape and facial features.

FAQs About Lip Fillers

Q: Will my lips look fake or overdone? A: Not at SKNN Clinic. Our aesthetic doctors specialise in natural, proportionate enhancement. We prioritise subtle results that refresh and rejuvenate your appearance, ensuring your lips look beautiful, not artificial.

Q: How long do lip fillers last? A: With Restylane Kysse, results typically last 9–12 months, though individual results can vary based on your metabolism and lifestyle.

Q: Do lip fillers hurt? A: Discomfort is minimal thanks to the topical numbing cream applied beforehand and the lidocaine (a local anesthetic) integrated within the Restylane Kysse formula. Most people describe the sensation as a small pinch or light pressure.

Q: Can I choose how much volume I want? A: Absolutely. Your doctor will have an in-depth discussion with you about your aesthetic goals and create a customised treatment plan. Whether you desire subtle definition or more noticeable fullness, we'll tailor the treatment to your preferences.

Q: I only want 0.5ml of lip filler. Can I have that? A: Restylane Kysse is supplied in a 1ml syringe. While you certainly don't have to use the entire 1ml during your treatment if you're aiming for a very subtle enhancement, we are unable to sell or administer only 0.5ml from a partial syringe. The cost of the treatment is for the 1ml syringe, regardless of how much is used.

Q: Can I have fillers if I’ve had cold sores before? A: Yes, you can. However, it's crucial to inform us about your history of cold sores in advance. We may recommend a course of antiviral medication before your treatment to help prevent a flare-up.

Q: Is there any downtime? A: You can typically return to most normal activities right after your treatment. However, we recommend avoiding makeup on the lips, excessive heat (like saunas or hot baths), and direct pressure on the lips for the first 24–48 hours. Some minor swelling or bruising is normal and temporary.
