Affordable Lumi-Pro Lip Booster

What Is A Lip Booster?

A Lumi-Pro Lip Booster is a specialized aesthetic treatment that will enhance the natural appearance of your lips by providing deep hydration, smoothness, and subtle volume.

A lip booster is different from a traditional lip filler, which primarily focuses on adding significant bulk and altering the lip shape. Instead, Lumi-Pro fulfills the natural potential of your lips. 

The primary active ingredient in Lumi-Pro Lip Booster is hyaluronic acid, specifically pure, non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid.

The non-cross-linked nature of the hyaluronic acid is key to its function as a booster rather than a filler. Cross-linked hyaluronic acid is more viscous and designed to provide structural volume, whereas non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid is more fluid and focuses on hydration and subtle plumping.

Hyaluronic acid has an incredible ability to attract and retain water molecules, holding up to 1,000 times its weight in moisture. When injected into the lips, it draws in water, leading to intense and long-lasting hydration from within. This combats dryness, chapping, and gives the lips a softer, smoother feel.

By enhancing moisture retention, the hyaluronic acid subtly plumps the lip tissue. This provides a natural-looking increase in volume and can help to define the lip borders and shape without the overfilled appearance sometimes associated with traditional fillers. It can also help to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles on and around the lips.

The increased hydration and the presence of hyaluronic acid can improve the overall texture and elasticity of the lips, making them appear more supple and youthful.

Top 5 Reasons For Getting A Lip Booster

There are several reasons our clients in Bournemouth get lip boosters. Here are the 5 most common ones: 

Deep and lasting hydration: If you suffer from chronically dry, chapped, or dehydrated lips, a lip booster provides intense, internal hydration that topical balms often can’t achieve. This leads to softer, smoother, and healthier-looking lips.

Natural-looking plumping and volume: Unlike traditional fillers that can dramatically alter lip size and shape, a lip booster offers a subtle, natural enhancement in volume. It provides a “boost” rather than a “fill,” making lips appear fuller and more youthful without looking overdone or artificial.

Asymmetry: Some people have asymmetrical lips. For instance, their upper left lip might be larger than the opposite side. One key reason why some clients get lip fillers, is to make their lips symmetrical.

Enhanced lip definition and youthfulness: The subtle plumping and improved hydration can help to better define the natural lip borders. This can restore a more youthful appearance to lips that may have lost some of their definition or volume due to aging.

Lines and wrinkles: By deeply hydrating the tissue, lip boosters can significantly improve the overall texture of the lips. They help to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles on the lip surface and surrounding area, making the lips feel and look more supple and refined.

Why Do We Prefer Hyaluronic Acid Fillers?

The Process Of Getting A Lip Booster

The first thing we do when you arrive at our Bournemouth clinic, is to make sure you are comfortable and relaxed. We then explain the procedure from start to finish, and happily answer any of your questions.

When you are comfortable and ready to begin, we will get started.

To reduce the risk of getting any kind of infection, we start by cleansing your lips with an antibacterial solution.

If you want to avoid any sort of pain from the injections, we can apply a numbing cream on your lips. This will remove discomfort from the injections. 

It takes about 20-30 minutes before the cream starts working, so we will wait until it’s active before making the injections. 

And then we make the injections. This normally takes just a few minutes.

After we have made the injections, we may cool your lips down to reduce the potential for bruising.

That’s it! 

The entire treatment, from the time you set foot at our clinic until you leave, should take 30-60 minutes, depending on whether you want the numbing cream.

On your way out, we will recommend aftercare actions to help you make the result as good as possible. 👍 

Does Getting A Lip Booster Hurt?

We are all different and some have more sensitive lips than others.

That said, when a lip booster is administered properly (by a licensed and certified professional such as those at our Bournemouth clinic), there should be minimal pain.

We can, if you want, remove most of the discomfort by using a numbing cream. This cream will desensitise your lips so that you normally won’t feel any pain. 

Therefore, most people only feel slight discomfort. In fact, most people tell us that it is much less painful than expected.

What Are Potential Side Effects From A Lip Booster?

How Much Do Lip Filler And Lip Boosters Cost?

The price of a lip filler depends on the type of filler you want, how much you need, and also where you get the treatment done.

The most common filler, a hyaluronic acid filler, will normally cost from about £200 to £400.

If you instead were to get a collagen stimulating filler (polylactic acid), this is likely to cost more. The price range for this treatment is normally £600 to £1,200.

Should you on the other hand want a fat based filler, this will probably cost between £1,500 and £3,200.

You can generally expect to pay in the range of £100 to £200 per session for a Lumi-Pro Lip Booster treatment.

At TreatMyWrinkles Bournemouth, our hyaluronic acid filler costs from £99. You find more information about our lip booster prices in Bournemouth here.

How To Get Ready For A Lip Booster Treatment?

You can more or less go on with your life as normal before you come for the treatment. However, there are a few ‘things’ that we recommend that you avoid.

We recommend that you do not take blood thinning painkillers (particularly Aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen and Aleve), and other blood thinning medication, two days before the treatment.

And we advise that you do not drink alcohol 24 hours before the injections.

Why do we recommend this?

Because blood thinning agents like certain medication and alcohol, can increase the amount of bruising from the injections.

In addition, we suggest that you stay away from very salty foods two days before the treatment. The reason is that excess sodium causes the body to retain water, which in turn can increase the amount of swelling.

If you want to learn more about how to prepare for the treatment, you can find more info here.

What To Do After A Lip Booster?

After your lip treatment, you can go on with your day pretty much as normal.

However, there are a few actions we advise you to avoid.

We recommend that you do not apply any lip products for at least 12 hours after the treatment. However, if this is important for you, there are specially designed lip ointments that you can apply immediately. Ask us if this should be of interest to you.

You should also avoid alcohol, painkillers and blood thinning medication for the next two days, to be on the safe side. 

Blood thinning agents can lead to excess bruising and swelling.

If you are uncertain about whether a medication is blood thinning or not, just ask us. 👍

We also suggest that you avoid strenuous exercise for two days after the treatment. Why? This is to reduce the chance that the booster shifts away from its intended area.

You should also try to avoid any firm pressure on the lips for at least a week.

Additionally, we recommend that you don’t smoke or drink using a straw during the 24 hours after the treatment. The reason is that this causes your lips to bend, which can potentially make the booster to move out of position.

If possible, try to be careful with sun exposure and heat (e.g. sauna and hot showers) for two days after the treatment. High heat can expand blood vessels and therefore potentially increase bruising.

And lastly, while your lip is still numb from the numbing cream, you may want to wait with drinking very hot beverages, in order to not burn yourself without noticing. 😄

For How Long Does A Lip Booster Last?

A Lumi-Pro Lip Booster treatment is designed for hydration and subtle plumping, and its effects generally last for several months, typically in the range of 4 to 6 months.

It’s important to remember that, like all hyaluronic acid-based treatments, the results are not permanent. The body gradually metabolizes and breaks down the hyaluronic acid over time.

For optimal and sustained results, clinics often recommend a course of 2 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 4-6 months. This helps to continually boost hydration and stimulate collagen for long-term lip health and a consistently refreshed appearance.

A few things to note before you come for treatment:

You should ideally be in good health, and also not be a smoker. In the event you have concerns about this, we ask you to please speak to us before the treatment. 

Should you have an oral herpes outbreak or any other active infection on your lips or in your mouth, we advise that you wait until the infection is gone.

Also, in the event you struggle with diabetes, lupus or blood-clotting problems, it may not be recommendable to get a lip filler. Please speak to us about this.

In addition, please tell us about any medications you are using before the treatment.

Lastly, if you are currently breastfeeding or pregnant, we advise that you wait with the treatment. 

What If You Are Not Happy With The Result?

In the event you should not be happy with the result, what can you do?

You can simply come back and we will dissolve it!

How?

Since the booster is made of on hyaluronic acid, it can be dissolved with something called hyaluronidase. This is an enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid rapidly and safely.

So in the event that you regret the decision or not like how your lips look, we can reverse it for you.
