Gone are the days of over-lining your cupid’s bow to give the appearance of full, uplifted lips. Sure, makeup can create this illusion, but it also requires daily precision, time, and maintenance. For a lasting pout that you don’t have to take off at the end of the night, try lip injections in Nags Head.
At BeachGlo Aesthetics, we’ve mastered the art of enhancing your lips for a natural, born-with-it look. With our dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers, we can give your lips your ideal shape and fullness that makeup could never achieve. Keep reading to learn about how our injectables add volume and balance to your lips.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are minimally invasive aesthetic injections that can address many concerns, ranging from reducing signs of aging to creating harmony and balance. They do more than minimize static wrinkles, although they excel at creating youthful, smooth skin.
Facial filler in Nags Head can also add definition, volume, and balance to your cheeks, chin, jawline, nasolabial folds, and lips. For any cosmetic concern, dermal fillers have many benefits.
Customizable
All faces and lips are different, and we celebrate your natural beauty. We use fillers to enhance your features by tailoring each application to you and your aesthetic goals. At BeachGlo, we believe that less is more, so we start with a smaller dose and gradually increase the amount until you’re happy with your results. For your lip injections in Nags Head, we can go as bold as you want, or keep it soft and subtle.
Long Lasting
When you enhance your features with makeup, all of your hard work vanishes within hours of applying, and you can spend all day worrying about touch-ups and smudges. With dermal fillers, your results last 9 to 12 months, and they gradually fade without significant changes.
Reversible
Dermal fillers carry minimal risk. Although their results last for up to a year or more, they’re not permanent. So, if you decide at any point they’re not for you, we can easily dissolve the injections. After 2 weeks, your face will return to its original appearance.
Pucker Up With Lip Filler
At BeachGlo, we use the RHA collection by Revance to create dynamic, natural, and adaptable results. The formulas of this line of fillers resemble the hyaluronic acid (HA) already present in our skin.
Hyaluronic Acid
HA retains up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it an ideal ingredient for skin care and aesthetics. As we age, our body produces less hyaluronic acid, less collagen, and less elastin. Without these essential structural compounds, our skin loses volume and moisture, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and thinner lips.
While topical hyaluronic acid products can provide moisture, they only work at a surface level, and they don’t address volume loss or skin laxity—especially when these changes occur with age. Fillers work better to improve skin texture because they draw moisture from within, helping to restore volume and deeper hydration.
Improve Your Lips with Injections
People come to BeachGlo Aesthetics for our hyaluronic acid-based lip injections to address the following aesthetic concerns.
Restore Size
As you age, your lips naturally shrink. This part of aging isn’t something to be concerned about. However, it can sometimes cause feelings of insecurity, especially if you long for your youthful pout. When we inject HA into the lips, they retain more moisture, giving you a natural plump.
Add Volume
At BeachGlo we believe all lip shapes are beautiful, but understand some people may feel insecure, especially those with thin lips. Your feelings are valid, and we have ways to address them. That’s why we offer lip filler, because if added volume could boost your confidence, why not give it a shot?
Increase Hydration
Thanks to hyaluronic acid’s water-attracting properties, our lip fillers enhance hydration, leading to softer, smoother lips along with the added volume.
Improve Shape
We can correct asymmetry in your lips and enhance your cupid’s bow to improve shape. Added volume can also create better facial harmony and balance.
Alternative Options
We have many options for lip plumping beyond using dermal fillers! We offer various services, from lip flips to non-invasive options, to help you achieve your desired results.
Lip Flip
As another option for lip injections in Nags Head, we also offer lip flips to enhance your smile. If you want the illusion of fuller lips without adding volume, a lip flip can achieve this goal. This low-commitment procedure, lasting 3 to 4 months, can also help you try out the look of fuller lips before you commit to fillers. This way, you get the same benefits with a shorter timeframe, allowing you to experiment and find a look you love.
During a lip flip, we inject a wrinkle relaxer above your lips to alter the muscle signals, which causes them to “flip” outwards. This makes your lips look fuller and helps correct a “gummy smile” by relaxing the muscles that lift the upper lip.
We offer the following brands for wrinkle relaxers:
Exion US
Besides injectables, we also offer noninvasive methods for lip augmentation. Using radiofrequency (RF) energy and targeted ultrasound, our Exion US device heats deep skin and lip layers to stimulate hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin. You’ll see plumper lips immediately—no needles, no downtime.
Hydrafacial
Hydrafacial hydrates your lips with a nourishing serum that contains hyaluronic acid and peptides. This treatment leaves lips feeling soft, smooth, and plump. You could also use this service as a maintenance treatment for your lip fillers or lip flips.
How do I start?
To streamline your treatment, we can perform your injections on the same day as your consultation. So, before you come in for your initial consultation, please follow these pre-care instructions for your lip injections in Nags Head:
Do ✅
- Do take arnica supplements 2 days before your appointment. This helps to reduce the risk of bruising.
- Do take tylenol before your appointment to reduce any pain.
- Do arrive with skin free of makeup, lotions, or other skincare.
- Do eat a snack or meal and stay hydrated before your appointment.
Don’t ❌
- Don’t take any sort of blood-thinning medication like aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen (Aleve). Call and ask about any additional supplements you take if you’re unsure about them.
- Don’t wax, tweeze, or bleach the treatment area.
- Don’t consume alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
The Consultation
During your consultation, we discuss your goals and develop a strategy and placements for your injections. We encourage you to take this opportunity to ask any questions about the procedure, aftercare, and maintenance. Once all your questions are answered and you’re happy with your plan, we’ll get started.
The Injection Process
The process for lip injections in Nags Head starts with cleansing your skin. We then apply a numbing cream on your lips to increase comfort. Your treatment involves just a few minutes of injections, but we dedicate 60–90 minutes to the entire appointment, which includes the consultation. Fortunately, lip enhancements provide immediate results and minimal to no downtime. If you do happen to experience lingering bruising or redness, that should resolve after 48 hours.
We will give you post-care instructions, like keeping your face elevated at night while you sleep (prop yourself up with pillows) and applying an ice pack to the treated area.
Maintain Your Results
Eventually, your lip filler will wear off—at least until you schedule a follow-up. However, basic lip care can prolong filler effects and improve lip fullness naturally. Follow these instructions for the best results after your lip injections in Nags Head:
- Use lip balms with SPF daily—some even contain hyaluronic-acid!
- Avoid sun exposure.
- Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.
- Exfoliate your lips to remove dry, flaky skin (wait at least 48 hours after your appointment).
Lip Injection FAQs
Still unsure about lip fillers? We can address some of your concerns here!
Are dermal fillers safe?
When administered by a skilled professional, yes, dermal fillers are very safe. Our team is made up of estheticians and registered nurses who have experience in the nursing and aesthetics fields.
In addition, we also only offer FDA-approved products. During your consultation, we also determine whether or not you’re a candidate for dermal fillers. If you fit the following criteria, we will not administer lip fillers:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Are under the age of 22
- Are allergic to lidocaine, local anesthetics, or any of the ingredients in the products
- Have a history of anaphylaxis
If we decide that dermal fillers are not safe for you, we can offer other alternative options for plumping your lips. Your safety and satisfaction guide everything we do.
Do lips get saggy after filler?
No, our hyaluronic acid-based lip injections in Nags Head replace lost volume, but they do not stretch the skin. If you decide to discontinue your lip treatment, you should not have any adverse long-term side effects.
Does kissing feel different?
We want your lip injections to look and feel natural. That’s why we use a hyaluronic acid-based filler. When administered conservatively, and by a professional, kissing shouldn’t feel different for you or your partner.
Put Down the Lip Liner and Embrace Fuller Lips
You don’t actually have to put down the lip liner. In fact, our lip injections in Nags Head might pair perfectly with your makeup artistry. But you shouldn’t need to rely on covering your lips with makeup to feel confident.
With our team’s expertise in fillers, we can help you achieve your vision with natural-looking, long-lasting results. If you’re ready to start, you can try our treatment planner tool from the comfort of your own home. Alternatively, you can request an appointment with us and get ready to love your lips!
