Dermal fillers are a nonsurgical option that can help your client achieve the perfect pout, whether they have a “gummy” smile, creases above their lips, or both.
The use of facial fillers to combat the signs of aging has quickly become a staple of the medical aesthetics industry. Millions of people visit doctors every year looking for non-surgical methods to get bigger lips.
Clients aiming to improve the appearance of their lips with dermal filler treatments have increased the demand for qualified cosmetic injectors.
How then does one go about training to perform lip injections?
Going to a school for medical aesthetics and getting your Botox and dermal fillers certification is a prerequisite to providing these services to clients.
How To Become A Lip Injector
If you’re a doctor, nurse, or another medical practitioner interested in injecting lip fillers, you’ll need to take dermal fillers training first.
You can get bigger lips and other anti-aging benefits by learning the most up-to-date cosmetic injectable procedures in these classes.
These continuing education programs blend theoretical instruction with practical application.
Instructor-led classroom talks will center on topics such as the medical aesthetics sector and the cosmetic injector’s job outlook. The range of covered topics includes:
The ability to identify the specific needs of a cosmetics customer
The genesis of wrinkles, folds, and lines
Injections for Cosmetics
Possible side effects and positive outcomes from various injectable cosmetic procedures
Fillers used in aesthetic procedures (Juvederm, Restylane, etc.)
Practical experience with dermal fillers is also included in many courses. You will be part of a small, close-knit group that will observe facial filler demonstrations and treat predetermined people to provide you with hands-on experience with various cosmetic injectable methods.
Lip Injectors’ Cosmetic Injection Techniques
Many people choose to have their lips augmented using dermal fillers. Facial fillers are a gel-like substance made of hyaluronic acid (HA) that can restore volume to places that have thinned out over time due to aging. They are injected into the cheeks, lips, and areas surrounding the mouth to restore lost volume.
As part of your education in dermal fillers, you will learn a technique called lip tenting, which is a straightforward approach to greater lip enhancement. To maximize the protrusion of the canine arch, lip tenting requires elevating the white roll around the mouth.
When injecting into the white roll (produced by the protrusion of the orbicular muscle beneath the skin’s surface), you should not inject in a direction parallel to the lip contour but rather virtually vertically. For asymmetrical lips, this lip augmentation method offers the most precise control over final lip form and volume.
