What is a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is a treatment that enhances the lips with Botox injections to create a fuller appearance. 

How Much is a Lip Flip?

Lip flips use very little amount of Botox (between 4-8 units) and is a more affordable treatment when comparing it to lip filler. At Healthy Solutions Medspa, the lip flip can range from $55-$110.

How Long Does it Last?

Just like Botox on the face, Botox on the lips (lip flips) lasts around three to five months.

Does a lip flip hurt?

Patients have found lip flips to be almost pain-free. There is a small sting when being injected into the lip, however the pain is very well tolerable. The actual treatment time is 5 -10 minutes.

If you want fuller lips, consider Lip Filler

Patients find a lot of times they want additional volume in the lips after receiving a lip flip. We recommend thinking about adding lip filler to your lips along with the lip flip to add volume.

Post-Care

After having a lip flip, patients should avoid working out for 24 hours, due to the injection holes needing to be clean. Bruising may occur, so icing the area may relieve some of the bruising and swelling. Avoid sleeping face down.

Am I a Good Candidate for a lip flip?

If you have a thin upper lip, show a lot of your gums when you smile, or want a small change to your lips, this would be a great procedure for you.

Where Can I Get a Lip Flip?

If you are looking for a lip flip near me and live in the Bucks County area, call (267) 332-5567 or contact Healthy Solutions Medspa today for a free consultation.

Have you heard of the liquid facelift?

Posted on
Liquid facelift bucks county

You may know someone who had a facelift, but have you heard about something called the liquid facelift? It’s a term used for a certain non-surgical treatment that can provide the benefits of a facelift without incisions, anesthesia or any downtime. Let’s cover the basics so you know why the liquid facelift has become a popular treatment for so many people. 

What is a Liquid Facelift?

A liquid facelift is a non-surgical procedure that uses dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation. These dermal fillers reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds, leaving you looking years younger in the process. Generally Botox injections and dermal filler injections such as Juvederm or Restyalne are used for liquid facelifts.

What can you expect with a Liquid Facelift?

During a liquid facelift, dermal fillers and Botox are used to add volume, lift, contour the midface.

These dermal fillers are then used to sculpt and refine the jawline, chin, add volume to lips and reduce wrinkles from the forehead with Botox. 

The liquid facelift is highly customizable and four syringes or more of dermal fillers may be needed depending on the areas of your face you want to focus on.

It’s  best to get a consultation at a reputable medspa with a certified medical injector who will create a liquid face lift plan for you. 

The results of a liquid facelift can last anywhere between a year or two, depending on the dermal fillers used.

To see if you are a candidate for a liquid facelift, it’s best to start with a consultation.

If you are looking into doing a liquid facelift or searching for a provider that does lip injections, jawline contouring, or would like to reduce wrinkles from your forehead with Botox and you live in or around the Bucks County, PA area, request your free consultation at Healthy Solutions Medspa online, or give us a call at (267) 332-5567.

Everything You Need To Know About Eye Filler

Posted on
Healthy Solutions Medspa

Tired of looking tired? Others feel the same, and far more than you’d think! If you dislike your under eye bags, under eye filler may provide a solution.

Why Get An Under Eye Filler Treatment?

“Dark circles” under your eyes, or “under-eye bags” are both umbrella terms that can describe a wide variety of under eye issues. 

If you are self-conscious or struggle with the appearance of the skin under your eyes, you typically are not speaking generally about something that “bothers you a little”. Under eye dark circles can be blindly apparent. 

With the stigma that comes with dark circles, not doing anything about them can really do some damage to your everyday confidence. 

The stigma that has, and sadly will always, walk hand in hand with under eye bags, is exhaustion. 

No matter how much information we are aware of, we will still find ourselves assuming the woman across the room with dark circles didn’t catch enough sleep the evening before. 

Even though we are aware the causes of dark circles have nothing to do with our energy, without the best concealer makeup, we find ourselves being asked if we are sick, tired, or working too hard.

Basically, when it comes to under-eye bags, there is no limit to how much time and money we will spend exploring products, treatments and types of makeup to address the issue. It is exhausting work to not look exhausted. 

Thanks for the irony of Mother Nature… always a jokester. 

What Is An Under Eye Filler Treatment?

An under eye filler treatment is when hyaluronic acid is injected into targeted areas under the skin beneath the eye or tear trough in order to minimize hollows, dark circles, and to correct age related volume loss. 

Is Under Eye Filler Treatment Safe?

The use of dermal fillers for tear troughs have been done “off label” by many practitioners over the years, but recently, JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC was FDA approved for the improvement of infraorbital hollows.

With an under eye filler treatment with Juvederm Volbella for under eye bags, you won’t need to hide behind concealer any longer.. 

How Long Does Under Eye Filler Last?

You can expect the results to last for up to one year with Juvederm Volbella for the under eyes.

What Areas Can Be Injected With Under Eye Filler?

Tear troughs – Filler may be used to smooth out the curved line under your eyes that starts at the inside corner of the eye and runs down toward the cheek.

Under eye bags – Filler may be used to erase or soften any other fine lines and wrinkles underneath the eyes. The skin underneath the eye is very thin and prone to wrinkles.

How Much Is Under Eye Filler?

The treatment price can vary depending on how much under eye filler you will need which is established during your consultation, but typically can range between $800 – $1600. 

Where Can I Get Under Eye Filler?

It’s important to find a reputable medical office or medical spa that offers FDA approved dermal fillers like Juvederm Volbella and that have a great reputation.

Always do your research about the practice on Google and read their reviews. And, if you live in Bucks County, PA and looking for a provider that specializes in under eye filler, contact us at (267) 332-5567 or fill out a form online here.

Juvederm Voluma is now FDA approved for chin enhancement

Posted on
Juvederm Voluma is now FDA approved for chin enhancement

When it comes to improving your profile, there’s good reason to keep your chin up!

JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC dermal filler is now U.S. FDA approved for chin enhancement.

It is the first and only filler to receive this approval and is offered at Healthy Solutions by Dr. Luciano Medspa in Bucks County, PA.

JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC was FDA approved in 2013 and was primarily used to correct age-related volume loss in the cheeks and mid face.

Since it’s original approval for the mid face, Juvederm Voluma has been used for other areas of the face such as the chin and jawline but those areas were not FDA approved until recently.

Table of contents:

Juvederm Voluma For Chin Enhancement:

Today, JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC is no longer considered an “off label” treatment when it comes to chin contouring and shaping the chin for adults over the age of 21.

The newly approved chin enhancement with Voluma can add volume and help contour the lower face without surgery or downtime.

chin augmentation with Juvederm Voluma

Juvederm Voluma for Jawline Contouring & Jowl Improvement:

JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC is the best non-surgical solution for chin and jawline contouring used to improve the overall look and structure of your face.

By filling in the hollow area around the jowls, JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC injections soften the appearance of aging skin, strengthens the jawline, and contours the chin.

A jawline or chin filler injectable treatment with Voluma is typically done with a cannula which means less bleeding and bruising, leading to better comfort and a faster recovery.

The injections at Healthy Solutions by Dr. Luciano Medspa are administered by an experienced Physician or Nurse Injector.

The filler injections to the chin and jawline area with Voluma result in a smooth and natural appearance and are known to last for 12 – 24 month.

Voluma for chin enhancement can improve the profile

A chin enhancement with Juvederm Voluma filler adds definition to the lower facial region without the need for getting a chin implant.

It can also reduce the appearance of a double chin and turn back years to the overall look of your face.

In addition, for those with a longer nose, adding volume to the chin can help make the nose appear smaller and improve the balance of the face and profile.

Voluma chin filler

Why is the chin so important when it comes to your overall beauty?

The chin is a critical feature in the construction of a well-balanced face.

It should match the cheeks and rest of the face for a symmetrical appearance.

Whether it’s genetic or part of our aging process, the soft tissue in our jawline breaks down creating what is known as jowls, or sagging skin below your chin.

The loss of collagen in the lower facial region can cause the chin to look hollow and weak often disrupting the framework of our face.

The results are an imbalanced facial structure, a less desirable profile, and the potential for, now you’re not gonna like this one…a double chin.

Sorry folks, no matter how hard you go at the gym there’s no workout to combat gravity.

Thankfully, we have fillers for that!

7 Things To Know About Under Eye Filler

Posted on

Under eye filler treatment

Let’s face it: you’re tired of always looking tired.

No matter how much sleep you get at night, it seems like those dark circles will never go away.

You’ve tried countless creams, serums and concealers and none of them ever do what they say they will.

 

As we age, the area under our eyes (also known as the tear trough) loses volume which causes hollows, wrinkles, bags and dark under eye circles.

Dermal fillers for the under eye are used to restore volume, fill in wrinkles, and decrease the appearance of dark circles for more youthful looking eyes. These dermal fillers can also create a smoother facial contour in the areas under the eyes that have a hollow appearance.

 

If you lack volume under the eyes and you’re tired of spending money on eye products that don’t work, then under eye fillers may be the solution for you — but before you book your appointment, here are seven things you should know about the under eye filler treatment:

You’ll see the results right away

You will notice a difference in your under eye area immediately after your treatment. Patients experience instant satisfaction as any problem areas under the eyes will be improved with a natural-looking result.

Under Eye Filler Treatment Is Not Permanent

The results from the under eye filler treatment can last around 1-2 years, but ultimately the absorption varies with each individual. You can always get them touched up in the future as well.

Tear Trough Filler Treatments Are Off-Label

Although the dermal fillers aren’t FDA approved for treatments under the eyes, that doesn’t mean that it’s unsafe.

As other areas of the face have been approved for filler treatments (such as the lips and cheeks), the FDA studies have just not yet been conducted for the under eye area.

Under eye filler treatments are done in practice all over the world.

It is important to choose an experienced, certified medical professional to perform the tear trough filler procedure for optimal results.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Are Preferred

Juvederm and Restylane are common types of hyaluronic acid fillers used for the treatment of under eye hollowness.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are most popularly used because they look the most natural.

Under eye treatments with Juvderm or Restylane can be reversed in the case you don’t like the results or want to adjust the treatment.

Reversal can be done by using Hyaluronidase, an enzyme naturally found in the body, which essentially dissolves the filler.

Pain Is Minimal

The treatment area will be numbed, and the pain will likely be mild to moderate. Most patients would describe the experience as just a small pinch.

There’s Very Little Downtime

There’s a chance that you may experience some slight bruising afterwards, but it’s nothing you can’t cover up with some concealer in the meantime.

You should try to avoid drinking alcohol or taking any blood thinners at least a few days before your treatment, as this may cause some bruising.

There’s also no need to take off work or revolve your schedule around the appointment either, as it is a very quick procedure and you can go about your day afterwards.

The Cost Of Under Eye Filler Treatments

Depending on your facial contours, how much volume has been lost under your eyes and how many syringes of filler you’ll need, the treatment can cost anywhere from $800 to over $2,000.

Schedule a consultation to find out what treatment plan is recommended for you and what that will cost.

 

Recipients of the treatment instantly notice a difference in their under eyes and are pleased with the results. Stop breaking the bank on countless skincare and makeup products that don’t work, and take the leap into a longer-lasting, natural-looking approach to brighter, more youthful eyes.

If you are searching for an under eye filler treatment near me and you live in the Bucks County, PA area, request your free consultation at Healthy Solutions Medspa online or by contacting our office at (267) 332-5567.

Dermal Fillers: Types of Fillers and Tips To Follow Before Your Treatment:

Whether you want to look years younger or enhance your features, a dermal filler treatment is a great option to achieve your desired look without surgery.

In fact, the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reports that dermal filler treatments were a runner-up for the most popular non-surgical procedures last year, right after Botulinum Toxin (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin).

Most areas of the face can be treated with Dermal fillers.

dermal filler treatment areas

There are many different types of dermal fillers on the market to choose from:

1. Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Juvederm Volbella, Juvederm Vollure, Juvederm Voluma, Perlane, Restylane, Restylane Silk, Restylane Refyne, Restylane Defyne Boletero Balance.

Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance found in your skin that helps it stay hydrated and plump.

These temporary dermal fillers are FDA approved for treatment on the nasolabial folds (smile lines), lips, vertical lip lines, marionette lines and cheek areas.

HA fillers last between 6 months to 2 years before they are absorbed by the body naturally.

2. Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)

Radiesse

This filler is FDA approved for the treatment of nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, cheeks and other facial contours.

CaHA is also a naturally occurring substance found in the body, specifically in our bones.

These fillers typically last longer than HA fillers, about 12 months.

3. Poly-L-lactic Acid

Sculptra

This FDA approved filler consists of a biodegradable synthetic substance.

Sculptra stimulates collagen and helps your skin rebuild it naturally.
Sculptra lasts up to 2 years and is used to fill in laugh lines, plump up thin lips, and treat deep nasolabial folds.

4. Polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA)

Bellafill

Bellafil is a semi-permanent FDA approved dermal filler made of a synthetic, biocompatible substance.

This filler lasts up to 5 years and can be used for deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, increase volume in the lips and to fill out pitted acne scars.

Type of dermal fillers

How do you select the right dermal filler? It’s best to schedule a consultation with a reputable Board Certified Doctor or Registered Nurse.

Tips To Follow Before & After Your Dermal Filler Treatment

Before your dermal treatment, you should avoid:

 

● Blood thinners and pain relievers (Aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Aleve, etc.)
● Supplements (St. John’s Wort, Gingko biloba, primrose oil, garlic, ginseng, and Vitamin E)
● Any type of hair-removal process on the treatment area (waxing, bleaching, tweezing, etc.) at least 3 days before your treatment
● Alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours before your treatment

 

If you suffer from or have a history of cold sores, let your doctor know before your procedure as you should be aware that any needle punctures could contribute to a risk of another breakout or eruption of cold sores, reactivating the herpes virus.

 

If this concerns you, your doctor can prescribe antiviral medication to avoid or clear up any breakouts before your treatment.

 

Do not use dermal fillers if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or allergic to any ingredients.

 

You should arrive at the office with a clean, makeup-free face.

dermal fillers

Following Your Dermal Filler Procedure

After your dermal treatment, you should avoid:

● Wearing makeup for at least 12 hours
● Using skincare products for at least 24 hours
● Strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours
● Alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours
● Extensive sun, heat or UV exposure for at least 24 hours
● Extremely cold or hot temperatures for at least 48 hours
● Touching or massaging the treated area
● Smoking and/or smoke exposure
● Any dental procedures for at least 2 weeks

 

To minimize swelling and bruising, apply ice on the treated area and take Arnica or Bromelain (eating fresh pineapple may help as well).

 

Tell your doctor if you are planning any laser treatments, chemical peels, or other procedures after treatment, or if you are using Aspirin, Ibuprofen, or other blood thinners as this may increase bleeding or bruising on the treated area.

 

If you have a big event coming up, it is recommended that you plan your treatment at least 3 weeks in advance for optimal healing and results.

 

If you are searching for lip filler, cheek augmentation or other wrinkle reduction treatment near me and you live in the Bucks County, PA area, request your free consultation at Healthy Solutions Medspa online or by contacting our office at (267) 332-5567.

Lip Injections: The Top 15 Frequently Asked Questions Answered

Posted on

Lip Filler Frequently Asked Questions

All the craze nowadays in the beauty community is big, plump, pillowy lips.

There’s no doubt that a fuller pout makes you look younger and Insta-ready, but those lip liners, lipsticks and plumping glosses you’ve been collecting won’t quite do the trick (and will just hurt your wallet in the long run).

Everyone you know seems to be getting lip augmentations, and you may want your own lip filler fix.

But at the same time, you might be a little wary of the procedure or don’t want to end up looking botched.

While these are valid concerns, there’s no reason to be scared and your lips definitely won’t look overdone if you choose the right Physician or Medspa.

After all, most people who get lip injections at a reputable facility end up being extremely pleased with the results and even go back for more.

Whether you have lost volume in your lips over the years, have an unbalanced smile or just want a more voluminous pout, getting lip fillers is a quick, long-lasting, minimally invasive method to enhance your appearance.

If you’re interested in getting a lip injection treatment, here are 15 most common lip filler questions people ask about lip injections along with their answers to help you demystify this trending treatment:

Frequently Asked Lip Filler Questions:

What are lip injections made of?

Popular lip fillers like Juvederm or Restylane are made of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body and is probably on the ingredient list in your favorite facial serum or moisturizer.
Hyaluronic acid fillers retain moisture in the skin to increase the volume, shape and structure of the lips for that plumper pout you’ve been longing for.
The fillers also have a small amount of lidocaine to help make the injection more comfortable.

How long do lip injections last?

Lip fillers aren’t permanent and dissolve naturally over time.
Depending on which filler you choose, the results of the injections can last from six months to over a year.
Your injector will help you decide which product is best for the results you’re looking for.

How often does one need to get lip injections?

A lip filler treatment can be done once with one or multiple syringes or gradually over a few sessions until you achieve your desired look.
Most people touch up every six months to a year, but it really comes down to how much you’re willing to spend and what kind of look you’re going for.

Are lip injections temporary?

Like most cosmetic procedures, lip fillers will not last forever. But they still last a good while, and you can always decide later if you want to touch them up.

Are lip injections safe?

Yes! All Juvederm and Restylane products are FDA approved. A reputable Board Certified doctor wouldn’t use something that isn’t.

Where should I get lip injections?

You should only get the procedure done by a board-certified professional. It’s important to choose a Doctor or Medspa with a great reputation, so make sure to do your research.
Google, Facebook, Instagram and Yelp are all extremely helpful tools for your search — learn about the procedures they offer, read their customer reviews and look at their before and after photos from past clients.

How much lip filler do I need?

The amount of filler you get is ultimately up to you, and you can tell your provider what you want, but he or she will should create a treatment plan that is right for you. It really comes down to whether you want a plumper pout or just add some subtle volume.
