Fotona Liplase
This treatment is a non-invasive plumping for fuller lips without injectables or can be paired with injectables depending on desired results. This treatment provides an immediate response that patients will notice. LipLaseTM is a genuine non-invasive treatment, relying on patients’ collagen to fill in their lips instead of injectable fillers. Several adjusted passes can achieve the ‘ideal lips’ characteristics, including fullness, volume, the balance between upper and lower lips, and a well-defined vermilion border.
Preparing For Your Treatment
What are Non-Ablative Laser Treatments?
Non-ablative skin rejuvenation uses a laser to improve the appearance of wrinkles, brown spots and minor scars by creating heat in the skin without injuring the surface of the skin. They are less invasive than ablative treatments and work by heating up the targeted tissue, without actually destroying it.
- Avoid Sun for 4-6 Weeks Before Treatment: Tan skin cannot be treated with a Vbeam device as you risk burning the skin. Wear broad-spectrum sun protection with SPF 30 or higher on any exposed area every day.
- Do not use any retinol products (or products containing tretinoin) or exfoliants on the area to be treated for one week.
- Avoid Accutane (or isotretinoin products) for 6 months prior.
- Let your doctor know if you have a history of hyperpigmentation.
- Photosensitizing medications including doxycycline and minocycline should be discontinued 3 days prior to the treatment. Check with your prescribing doctor before discontinuing.
- Anticipate a social “down-time” of 3-5 days before any redness, swelling has subsided.
- The sunburned feeling and swelling usually last 1-3 days. Applying ice will give relief and reduce the swelling duration.
- After 24 hours, start cleansing with ZO gentle cleanser and hydrate with the product that is recommended by your provider. Do not scrub the skin and avoid hot water during this time.
- Makeup can be applied the next day (if the skin is not broken); However, makeup can make the skin look worse so you may find that just keeping your skin hydrated is ideal.
- Avoid the sun for 4 to 6 weeks. Wear broad-spectrum sun protection with SPF 30 or higher on any exposed area every day. We recommend ZD’s SPF or ZO’s Sunscreen and Primer SPF.
- Avoid excessive heat or friction to the treated area (heavy exercise, saunas) for 48-72 hours.
