Lip Plumpers Work In A Variety Of Ways

If you're after fuller lips, you might have to look outside your own body for it. That is, while celebrities seem blessed with the full, plump lips most of us want, few of us are blessed with such an attribute.

Perhaps it's this reason that many of us are looking for ways to help our lips look fuller and have that 'pout'. One way to do this is to use lip plumpers. They come in a variety of forms, but the most popular are the topical creams that you apply to your lips and achieve fast but temporary results.

But before you jump on the plump lip bandwagon, it's important to understand how these plumpers work. There are in fact a variety of ways in which these lip augmentation products work.

First, many over the counter plumpers causes increased blood flow to the lips. These products have additives like cinnamon, peppermint and wintergreen. These ingredients cause the lip's blood vessels to swell a bit. That causes a mild inflammatory reaction. The end result is that the lips look fuller.

The downside of using these kinds of plumpers is that many women have a negative reaction to them and report that their lips don't just tingle but burn and the overall effect is uncomfortable enough to cause the woman to give up on the plumper altogether.

Secondly, some lip enhancement products work by adding nutrients to the surface of the lips, which can stimulate elastin and collagen production. These products must be used for several weeks before results will really be achieved. Since many women choose to have collagen injections in their lips to get plumped-up lips, this is an alternative to injections.

But the verdict is still out on these kinds of lip enhancers. Some beauty experts say women have great success with them, other say the overall effect is nearly irrelevant. So it's not clear how beneficial these plumpers are for everybody, as there's a benefit in some, but not in others.

Finally, some lip plumpers add microspheres to the lip tissue. This attracts water molecules to the lips, which gives the lips a fuller look. This effect, if it's achieved, is temporary, but it's also usually without irritation to most women's lips and you can use it just when you want to (unlike a plumper that might require regular use to achieve a certain effect).

So in conclusion, lip enhancement can be achieved by topical creams, but the ways they work are different. Each has their advantages and disadvantages. So do your own research and understand their pros and cons, so that you can make a more informed decision.
