Sensual, puffy lips are the dream of almost every woman. Many in the pursuit of beauty resort to plastic surgery and various injections that contribute to lip augmentation. But the consequences of such cardinal methods are often terrible: tissue edema develops, lips lose shape. Recently, a device for lip augmentation, the suction cup, whose official name is plamper, has arrived on the beauty market. This article discusses in detail the models and brands of lip plamper, as well as the benefits and harms of their use.
What is a plamper?
In cosmetology, plumper is called special balms, lipstick and lip gloss, which contain substances that provoke the flow of blood to the surface of the skin. But there are devices that help give lips a sensuality - special suction cups.
Many women, having first encountered such a "device", are wondering what is the name of a suction cup for lip augmentation. This is a plamper, for a simple reason - a suction cup, and on a more scientific side - a vacuum device that allows you to quickly give your lips the required volume, as well as helping to visually correct their shape.
What does a suction cup look like?
The lip trainer is a small cap made of thick plastic. The colors can be completely different, depending on the manufacturer, but mostly plamper red and pink colors, with lips engraved on the top of the device.
A suction cup for lip augmentation is sold in two forms: a large vacuum simulator from Cynthia Rowland, and a small, compact one - Fullips (aka Magiclips). “Fullpses” have three sizes: a small oval, an average oval and a large circle. Luscious Lips also has one universal size and is a mini hand pump.
On the Russian market for beauty and health products, you rarely see the original simulator from Cynthia, but the “Fillips” is sold everywhere.
How does it work?
After the lips touch the device, air is sucked in, creating a vacuum between the lips and the plamper. Due to the vacuum, blood flow to the skin cells is enhanced, the shape of the lips changes. According to the advertising of such devices for lip augmentation, a suction cup allows you to achieve stunning results - just one application, and thin, nondescript strings turn into a juicy, puffy “mouth”. The effect of the procedure lasts for 3-5 hours, and with constant use of the suction cup - up to 8 hours.
As for the Cynthia Rowland Luscious Lips simulator, its action is based on the principle of a pump, or vacuum pump. The mouthpiece is applied to the lips, and the air is drawn out with the handle.
How to use a suction cup for lip augmentation
Before use, the plamper should be treated with an antiseptic to prevent microbes from getting on the skin. From the lips you need to wash off all the cosmetics, and then apply a softening cream.
Using “Fullips”: after choosing the required size, the suction cup is placed over the lips, then air is sucked out of it. In this position, the plamper must be held for 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on the desired result. For the best adhesion of the suction cup to the lips, the skin around them can be moistened with water. To remove the plamper, just create a small gap between it and the skin. After the procedure, it is necessary to moisturize the lips with a balm, and only then apply makeup.
Using Luscious Lips: a pump is brought to the lips cleansed of cosmetics, then the air is drawn out using a special lever, a vacuum is formed between the skin and the device. The manufacturer recommends using a moisturizing lip gloss with the pump, the same company, which includes caring oils.
