BOCA: The Revolutionary Non-Surgical Lip Filler Alternative
When it comes to enhancing our facial features, there’s no denying that plump, luscious lips have become a symbol of beauty and confidence. In the past, the go-to method for achieving fuller lips was through lip fillers – injections of hyaluronic acid that temporarily plump up the lips. However, there’s a new player in town that’s changing the game and offering a non-surgical alternative for lip enhancement: BOCA.
At Vie Aesthetics, we are proud to be at the forefront of this revolutionary treatment. We are currently the only clinic in the UK offering BOCA Lip Lift, and our very own medical director, Dr. Liakas, is the national trainer for this innovative procedure.
What is BOCA Lip Lift?
BOCA Lip Lift is a cutting-edge non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of your lips. Unlike traditional lip fillers that involve injecting a substance into the lips, BOCA utilises a thread to lift and shape the lips. This innovative approach aims to provide natural-looking results that not only increase lip volume but also improve lip symmetry and contour.
The BOCA technique involves the insertion of a specialised thread under the skin to lift and support the lip area. Unlike traditional lip fillers, which are also temporary, lasting around 6 months, the thread used in BOCA is typically made of absorbable material. This unique feature allows BOCA to provide longer-lasting results, which can endure for up to 2 years, without leaving any trace behind. This makes BOCA a safe and attractive option for those seeking to enhance their lips with results that surpass the duration associated with traditional lip fillers.
How Does BOCA Work?
BOCA Lip Lift relies on the principle of tissue suspension and support. A thread is strategically placed beneath the skin to lift and define the lips. This thread acts as a scaffold, providing structure and shape to the lips, ultimately achieving a fuller and more youthful appearance. The procedure is performed with precision, ensuring that the results are tailored to the client’s unique facial features and desired outcomes.
One of the key advantages of BOCA is that it stimulates collagen production around the thread insertion points. This means that as the thread dissolves, it leaves behind a natural-looking and long-lasting improvement in lip appearance. Over time, the lips continue to benefit from increased collagen, contributing to their plumpness and overall beauty.
BOCA vs. Lip Fillers
Now, let’s compare BOCA Lip Lift to traditional lip fillers, so you can better understand why BOCA is gaining popularity as a non-surgical alternative.
1. Natural Results: BOCA Lip Lift is designed to provide natural-looking results by enhancing the lips’ shape and structure. Traditional lip fillers, on the other hand, may sometimes lead to overfilled or unnatural-looking lips.
2. Duration: BOCA is a temporary treatment, and the results gradually improve over time as collagen production increases. Traditional lip fillers typically require regular maintenance to sustain the desired look.
3.Longer-Lasting Effects: BOCA offers longer-lasting results, with the effects enduring for up to 2 years. This means fewer appointments and less disruption to your routine compared to the more frequent touch-ups needed with traditional lip fillers.
4. Safety: Both BOCA Lip Lift and lip fillers are generally safe when administered by trained professionals. However, BOCA’s dissolvable thread eliminates concerns about filler migration or long-term complications.
5. Cost: BOCA Lip Lift may have a slightly higher upfront cost compared to traditional lip fillers. However, when factoring in the longer-lasting results and reduced need for frequent touch-ups, BOCA can be a cost-effective option over time.
6. Natural Lip Texture: BOCA Lip Lift prioritises maintaining the natural texture of your lips. The procedure focuses on enhancing shape and structure while preserving the soft and supple feel of your lips. Traditional lip fillers, on the other hand, may sometimes alter the natural texture of the lips, leading to a slightly firmer or more voluminous feel.
