As new treatments and procedures arise and aesthetics keep evolving it can be difficult to stay informed of these new advancements to help decide which option is the best for the results you desire.  Not sure which one is for you? Let’s dive into which treatment or procedure is best for each concern/result!

Hydration

Lip Filler. At GAB we only use fillers with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) for the lips.  Why? HA is a natural occurring acid found in the body that attracts water thus, helping hydrate the lips.  Also, all the HA fillers we use are dissolvable, which means they can be broken down and dissolved – not that you should need it!

Color Correction

Lip Blushing. Lip blushing allows you to customize the shade of pigmentation on your lips for an overall even appearance as well as providing a lip liner.

Fullness/Volume

Lip Filler.  Lip blushing can cause the illusion of fullness. Lip filler will actually provide volume and fullness toy our lips. *Keep in mind, you may see fullness with lip blushing after your treatment due to swelling which will subside when healed.

Long Lasting Lip Color Enhancement

Lip Blushing.  While lip filler can help hydrate the lips causing them to appear more colorful and youthful, lip blushing will provide a more vivid color and dramatic outcome than filler.

Symmetry

Both. Both lip blushing and lip filler can help with lip symmetry.  Lip blushing can help by providing a brighter color and straighten asymmetrical lip lines, while lip filler will actually offer more volume and structure where the lips may have deficits.

Both lip blushing and lip filler treatments require a skilled and knowledgeable provider so be sure to do your homework by reviewing their before and after portfolios. You should also read reviews and the provider’s credentials.  Need a Permanent Make-Up (PMU) referral? We have some wonderful ones that are tried and true – even by our team!
