Wow, what a year 2020 was! The COVID-19 pandemic meant we were covering up our gorgeous lips with masks and those forehead lines were now super visible thanks to the rise in Zoom calls. If you are wondering what 2021 is going to bring in the world of cosmetic injectables stay tuned as we decipher the latest trends in cosmetic injectables.
 
 
Russian lips:

Have you noticed those big pouty lips all over Instagram? As the name suggests, Russian lips derive from Russia and the trend has rapidly spread all over the world. The Russian lip technique involves creating additional height to the lip area whilst remaining relatively flat to the face, avoiding the dreaded “duck lip” look. This look is created by injecting filler into the middle of the lip area, rather than focusing on injecting horizontally. Keep in mind that this can cost a little more than a standard lip filler procedure due to the volume of product required. Slather on some of our Arnica Healing Balm after your procedure to avoid bruising and inflammation. The ultimate aftercare!
 
Treatment to more areas of the face:

The Cosmetic Lounge is a successful clinic with locations in Sydney and Melbourne. Its Founder and Director, Jelena Vucica, notes that she has noticed a “steep increase in the number of clients wanting to treat more areas of the face, rather than focussing on just the lips, cheeks and other standard aesthetic treatments.” Thanks to the rise of social media, people are now more confident in understanding the range of treatment options available to them and how they can create a 'natural lip filler' result. The industry’s reputation has come a long way since the days of ‘duck lips’. 

Using dermal fillers to reshape the nose and chin has created the demand for ‘full face’ treatment packages, which are now readily available in most injectable clinics. 
 
The rise of cosmetic dentistry:

Maximise that beautiful smile of yours by combining both lip filler injections with teeth whitening, veneers or implants. Cosmetic Dentists are no longer just focusing on the teeth, but creating a total package to make us actually enjoy going to the dentist.

Cosmetic Dentists have been achieving immediate results by creating a toothy white smile with a one hour teeth whitening session and creating volume and hydration to our lips with a hyaluronic acid filler. These clinics are popping up everywhere! Keep your eyes peeled, we certainly are!
