Liplase Q&A

What is LipLase, and how does it work?

LipLase is an excellent alternative to lip injections if you want natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Many people are anxious about needles and injections, and LipLase puts those fears to rest — the treatment uses laser energy; no needles are required.

The non-intrusive treatment is customized to perfect your lip shape, creating improved balance between the upper and lower lips, boosting fullness, and defining the vermilion border. The MD Aesthetics team can enhance collagen production in the lips’ deeper tissues by stimulating the lips from the outside and inside.

Am I a candidate for LipLase?

LipLase is ideal for patients who want plumper lips but want to avoid more invasive procedures. The process also takes longer, so it’s perfect if you have time to invest in a gentle process. You may benefit from the treatment if you want:

  • Hydrated, plumper lips
  • Pinker lip tone
  • A more defined cupid’s bow
  • More volume
  • Reduced wrinkles around the mouth

Because the benefits of LipLase revolve around boosting youthful collagen instead of introducing substances like fillers, your changes look beautiful naturally and happen gradually instead of appearing like you’ve “had work done.”

What can I expect during my LipLase treatment and recovery?

You start with a consultation, and the MD Aesthetics team can learn more about your concerns and desired results. If LipLase is best for you, they schedule your appointment.

For your comfort, the team uses a topical numbing agent on the outside and inside of your lips before applying the laser energy. Your lips, particularly the upper lip, may feel warm, but there should be little to no discomfort. You can expect your session to last 30 minutes or less, with minimal downtime.

Use sunscreen and moisturizer after your treatment, and avoid the following:

  • Consuming spicy foods or hot beverages for three days
  • Strenuous activities or sports
  • Swimming pools or bright sun
  • Wearing lipstick for 24 hours

Your results are comparable to traditional lip injections, and you can go 6-12 months between LipLase touchups. You should notice the full results after only three treatment sessions, which the team usually spaces about a month apart.
