LipLase Lip Plumping Laser

Unlike lip fillers, Fotona LipLase is a non-intrusive procedure that does not require the use of needles. Think of it as an alternative to injectables. Lip fillers also involve injecting a solution (usually hyaluronic acid) into your lips. While results are instantaneous, the filler will break down over time and is metabolised by the body. In comparison, Fotona LipLase plumps lips naturally by encouraging the body to stimulate collagen production. Results also occur more gradually over a course of 4-6 months and patients will notice their lips appearing softer and plumper.

As LipLase treatment promotes natural collagen production, it is therefore dependent on your body’s ability to produce collagen. Results may differ across individuals. However, patients usually can see a difference after the first session; for optimal results, at least 3 sessions spaced 2 weeks apart and another 3 sessions spaced one month apart are recommended. Results last up to 12 months.

Fotona LipLase is a safe procedure with minimal to no side effects. The treatment is virtually painless with no anaesthesia or numbing agents required. At most, you may feel some warmth all over your lips due to the laser energy, but it will be gone after the treatment.

No, LipLase does not have any side effects that could trigger loss of sensation in your lips.

There is no downtime and patients are able to resume their daily activities immediately after. Immediately after, the lips will appear swollen but this should subside within a few fours. There will be some superficial peeling on the 2nd day. As part of the aftercare, patients are advised to use SPF 50 lip balm and avoid wearing lipstick for the next 24 hours.

LipLase is a personalised laser treatment so results may vary across individuals. It has the ability to hydrate and plump the lips by stimulating collagen production, defining the cupid's bow, smoothen wrinkles around the lips and mouth and lighten lip colour to a pinkish tone.
