Will the quest for fuller lips ever end? As recently as this month, we’ve seen social media stars gluing their lips in an attempt to replicate the likes of Kylie Jenner and Angelina Jolie! Why do people resort to gimmicks when lip fillers offer a long-term, pain-free, natural solution?

With lip fillers, there’s a misconception that you need to go big or go home to get the results you want. Here at Thérapie Clinics, we’ve decided to bust that myth.

First off, let’s get to grips with what filler is
The first thing you need to know is that not all filler is created equal. The most common – and the one used at Thérapie Clinics, Juvederm – are based on hyaluronic acid (a substance that occurs naturally in our bodies and is highly attracted to water and binds to moisture).

Lip fillers typically last six months to a year and can be instantly reversed with an injection of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that melts filler away should you decide you no longer want it.

What’s involved?
All of Thérapie Clinics’ treatments begin with a private consultation that includes a full facial assessment by our professional team. If treatment is deemed suitable, the client’s areas of concern are discussed, options explored, and a personal treatment plan decided.

Immediately after the consultation, the treatment can commence, with measures ranging from 0.5ml up to 2ml. The procedure itself is quite straightforward and takes only minutes. A fine needle is used to inject the targeted facial muscle.

Before leaving the clinic, we provide all our clients with comprehensive post-treatment care advice. We also provide an optional follow up appointment for assessment two weeks after treatment.

The results are lips that are more contoured, more enhanced.
With lip fillers, don’t think that the goal is simply making them look bigger. Dermal fillers can both enhance a younger lip and volumise the ageing lip.

There are a range of options for augmentation – your lips can be subtly enhanced to soften fine lip lines and define contour or more dramatically plumped depending on the individual desire of the patient.

How soon will I see said results?
The results following a filler treatment will, of course, vary from person to person and the areas treated. It is normal for there to be some swelling and possibly even some bruising for a few days after facial fillers but generally you will see an immediate difference in volume and shape of the treated area.

The results tend to improve as the swelling settles and the filler begins to sit more naturally in the skin. This may take around two weeks.

Pay less, get more
At Thérapie Clinic we understand our clients’ need to trust in the safe hands of the professionals. That is why our highly-trained and skilled team is led by surgeon Paul Reddy. He ensures that all our procedures are carried out in an environment that are as exacting as a surgical theatre. The medical professionals at Thérapie Clinic will be able to advise you on the treatment needed to cater to your specific concerns, helping to achieve natural, beautiful results.

But there are a few sanctuaries to be found inside the city. We have four stunning clinics, beautifully serene where you can lie back, relax and get Botox treatment for wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation. Not only do you get to escape the hustle and bustle, but you also get to roll back the years. But what can Botox injectables help you with?

Botox for forehead lines
Botox, or botulinum toxin to give it its full name, might not be able to reduce London’s Christmas chaos, but you can use it for wrinkle reduction. One of the most popular areas is the forehead. As your skin begins to lose its elasticity, you can find fine lines, and eventually, deeper wrinkles appearing across your forehead. However, when our experts administer Botox injections, this can smooth out any forehead wrinkles.

Some people worry that this will prevent them from being able to make facial expressions. However, this is not the case. The “frozen face” look is often an indicator of overuse of Botox injections. Here at Therapie Clinic, we much prefer to remove fine lines and wrinkles and keep the natural look.

Botox around the eyes
You are enjoying your life – you laugh a lot with friends. But as a result, you’re noticing those crow’s feet appear around the eyes. They make an appearance each time you smile and might even dent your confidence. There’s no need to stop grinning thought as Botox injections can smooth out these fine lines and give you a real sense of rejuvenation.

If you’re wondering “does Botox hurt?”, then the thought of injections near your eyes might not be appealing. However, when administering these injections, a very fine needle is used, which means little to no pain is felt. A few people get a bit of bruising around the injection site but nothing noticeable.

Botox for brow lines
These frown lines can be the first wrinkles that appear. Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you’ve spent too much of your time frowning at others – it’s natural. Everyone gets them at some point in their life.

However, many are keen to have Botox treatment to smooth them out as soon as they appear. They are sometimes called “number 11” lines as, when you frown, two vertical lines wrinkles appear between your brows. While there are a whole variety of anti-wrinkle treatments from creams to surgery, anti-wrinkle injections offer the best, non-invasive results.

Look lush in London
If you’re looking to pamper yourself and want to escape the Christmas madness, we have four clinics across the city offering the best Botox in London. Click here to find your nearest one. We provide a range of cosmetic injections, including the top brands, Botox and Juvederm.

How long does it last, you ask? That depends as it can vary from person to person. However, you can expect to experience Botox’s facial rejuvenation for 2-4 months. This anti-wrinkle treatment also costs less than you think with three areas of Botox injections, costing just £199.

Treat yourself this Christmas and get anti-wrinkle injectables from Therapie Clinic. Book your online consultation or give us a call on 0800 121 565.

Lip fillers aren’t going anywhere! The American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ 2016 report indicated a 50 per cent increase in lip augmentations in the 18 to 55-plus age range between 2000 and 2016 – and that figure only looks set to increase. All over Ireland, people are leaving the stigma surrounding aesthetics behind, and putting themselves first.
Are you thinking of doing the same? Here’s 5 reasons why you won’t look back after getting lip fillers at Thérapie Clinic …
They can help you look younger for less
Unfortunately, the lips can be the first area of the face to give in to the ageing process. When we look at someone’s face, along with the eyes, we tend to focus on the lip and mouth area when speaking with one another. A thin lip area can exacerbate the ageing process as we associate plump and hydrated lips with that of a young person.
The use of dermal fillers in the lip area will increase volume, hydration and remove unwanted wrinkles, improving the overall look of the face. At Thérapie Clinic, it’s more affordable than ever, with prices starting from €195 for 0.5ml.
They can help you shape your smile
If anti-aging isn’t a concern, but a loss of volume and shape is, lip fillers are a good fix. Some patients find that a thin lip area can mean the facial features are unbalanced and would like to improve this area in order to have a more full-looking pout.

It’s a super safe procedure!
At Thérapie Clinic – Europe’s number 1 aesthetics clinic – safety comes first, above everything else. Our highly trained and skilled team is led by surgeon Paul Reddy, who ensures that all our procedures are carried out in an environment that are as exacting as a surgical theatre.
At Thérapie Clinic we use the worlds most tried and tested dermal filler, Juvederm. This product has been rigorously tested through clinical trials over the past 15 years and its records for safety and efficiency are outstanding. Juvederm has been used in 15 million treatments worldwide.
The medical professionals at Thérapie Clinic will be able to advise you on the treatment needed to cater to your specific concerns, helping to achieve natural, beautiful results.
You can get the treatment done in a flash
Getting lip fillers is an extremely quick process, with the administration process taking around 10 minutes. All our treatments begin with a private consultation that includes a full facial assessment by our professional team. If treatment is deemed suitable, the client’s areas of concern are discussed, options explored, and a personal treatment plan decided.
Immediately after the consultation, the treatment can commence. The procedure itself is quite straightforward and takes only minutes. A fine needle is used to inject the targeted facial muscle.
Before leaving the clinic, we provide all our clients with comprehensive post-treatment care advice. We also provide an optional follow up appointment for assessment two weeks after treatment.
And if you’re not happy with your results …
You can reverse them! Unlike lots of other cosmetic treatments, lip fillers give long-lasting results, while being completely reversible (though this is a very rare occurrence as the doctors at Thérapie Clinic will use their expertise in consultation and treatment, in order to give you the desired look and result you wish to achieve).
Dermal fillers do disperse naturally in the human body over time and this usually takes around 6 to 8 months.

The post 5 reasons why you should invest in lip fillers appeared first on Therapie Clinic.

Botox and dermal fillers are among the most popular and sought-after cosmetic procedures for combating the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging in the aesthetic market today. If you are considering undergoing these injectable treatments, you may be confused between the two. They may seem similar, but in reality, they are actually quite different and tackle different issues related to aging of the skin. But don’t worry, as we are here to help you chose what treatment is right for you, and hopefully clear up any confusion!
What is Botox and how does it work?
Botox is made from a natural, purified protein, also known by its less catchy name Botulim Toxin Type A, which can help to relax facial muscles that are responsible for causing lines and wrinkles. In 2002, Botox was approved by the FDA as a cosmetic treatment for frown lines above the eyebrows, and on the forehead and wrinkles around the eye area, or “crows feet”. Botox is injected into localised areas of the skin in extremely small concentrations and it works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. When those nerve signals are interrupted, the affected muscle is temporarily relaxed, and the skin becomes smoother. Because the movement of these selected facial muscles if reduced, wrinkles become softer in appearance and fines lines are reduced. The result is a refreshed and well-rested look. With continued treatment, lines and wrinkles will appear less prominent with time as the muscles shrink and becoming less contracted. Botox injections can also aid in the prevention of new lines and wrinkles from developing, which is why it is also used as a preventative treatment.
Is there any downtime or side effects from Botox?
There is no real downtime associated with Botox, which is one of the reasons patients find it so appealing. You may experience some slight bruising and swelling from the needle directly after treatment, but this can easily be masked with make-up and will disappear within a couple of hours. Because the procedure is not surgical, you can resume your usual activities straight away, and you can even fly post-treatment. It is advisable to keep upright for at least 4 hours post treatment and we also recommend that you avoid exercise for 24 hours afterwards. You should be mindful of the treated area and avoid touching the area excessively.
At Thérapie Clinic, all Botox treatments are carried out by medical professionals, all of whom have a deep understanding of the underlying facial musculature and facial aesthetics, ensuring you are in safe and highly skilled hands. Our team of injectors have years of experience in delivering results that are youthful yet subtle, eliminating that “frozen” look, so you can rest assured that the results will look natural and beautiful.

When will I see the results from Botox?
The effects of Botox are not visible straight away, as it takes time for the Botox to start working and relaxing the muscles. Results vary from person to person, but in general the effects of anti-wrinkle injections will start to take effect after 2-5 days, when the muscles beneath the skin begin to relax. The best results will be visible after approximately 2-3 weeks after the injections have been administered, when lines and wrinkles will be significantly reduced. The results are subtle and natural, making you look well-rested and more youthful. At Thérapie Clinic we have an excellent after care service, which is of course included in the price. You will come back for a follow up appointment within 21 days, so we can assess the results of the treatment and adjust if necessary.
How long does Botox last?
Botox injections are not permanent, and the effects of the treatment will wear off with time. It of course varies from person to person, but most people find that the muscle-relaxing effect of Botox lasts for 3 to 6 months. Regular Botox treatments can affect how long the results lasts. In general, you will need fewer Botox treatments over time to get the same effect. Lines and wrinkles can often appear less severe with time because the muscles are shrinking.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are used are used effectively to lift and plump the skin, to add volume and smooth out lines and wrinkles. They are used in various areas of the face such as the cheeks, around the eyes, mouth and jawline and can also be injected directly into the lips. Because our skin loses its fullness as we age due to the depletion of collagen and elastin, fillers replenish lost volume and create a more youthful appearance.
Similar to Botox, dermal fillers are injected under the skin to eliminate or prevent the visible signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. However, this is where the treatments often get confused. The main difference is that Botox reduces the activity of muscles in the face that cause wrinkles. Instead of relaxing muscles, dermal fillers increase volume beneath the surface of skin. This helps your skin achieve as youthful of a look as possible, making it appear plumper and smoothing out lines and wrinkles, as well as eliminate signs of aging that occur as a result of collagen depletion.
How do dermal fillers work?
Dermal or facial fillers are injectables that contain hyaluronic acid, a molecule that is found naturally in the skin. Hyaluronic acid works as a magnet for moisture, helping your cells retain as much of it as possible so that your skin feels and appears hydrated, plump and healthy. At Thérapie Clinic we only use the world-renowned Juvederm dermal filler. A fine needle is used to inject the filler into the targeted area on the face. By injecting a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that closely resembles our own bodily hyaluronic acid deep into the skin, water will be drawn to the area, rehydrating and plumping the skin from the inside out. The result is a smooth, subtle and above all-natural look.

Is there any downtime or any side effects from dermal fillers?
There is no downtime after the treatment, however, some common injection-related reactions might occur, such as swelling, redness, pain, itching, discoloration and tenderness at the injection site. These will disappear spontaneously within 2 to 10 days, which is why it is best not to have the treatment right before an event or occasion as the area may still be swollen or red. It is recommended that you not to take anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or aspirin in the days before your treatment as these may cause bleeding or increased bruising at the injection site. You should avoid exercise except for walking for 24 hours after the treatment.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Similar to Botox, the effects of dermal fillers are not permanent. This can be reassuring for people who are concerned about undergoing anti-ageing treatments, to know that the treatment can refresh the face without the stress of either a long-term commitment or a surgical procedure. The duration of dermal fillers depends on many factors, such as the individual’s skin type, lifestyle and age but in general the effects will last between 6 to 12 months. Your doctor will give you more information during your consultation with regards to maintaining your treatments.
Choosing between Botox and Dermal Fillers
It’s important to consider your unique facial structure, specific concerns, and consult with a professional in order to choose the right treatment option for you. One of the most important things you need to consider when choosing between Botox and dermal fillers is what kind of wrinkles you want to get rid of and how. Both treatments will work differently on different areas of the face. Botox is a better choice for dynamic wrinkles as it targets the muscle and will help reduce the appearance of lines that are visible when you are moving your face or making particular expressions, by reducing their motion and visibility. Typically, these are located on the forehead or in the eyebrow area and around the sides of the eyes. Dermal fillers are ideal for static wrinkles, which are visible even when your face is relaxed and making no expression and are normally located around the mouth, nose and jaw. These depleted and sunken in areas will benefit from the fullness that dermal fillers can achieve.

The primary difference between the two treatments, is that Botox reduces the activity of muscles in the face that cause wrinkles. Dermal fillers fill the trouble areas with hyaluronic acid, plumping and lifting the skin to replace collagen loss. This helps your skin achieve as youthful of a look as possible, as well as eliminating signs of aging that occur as a result of collagen depletion.
