What are lip fillers?
Lip fillers are injectable treatments for enhancing the volume, shape, and symmetry of your lips. Typically, lip fillers are based on hyaluronic acid, a substance that is present in the human body, and which helps to plump and hydrate the lips. Lip fillers are a safe and quick non-surgical solution if you are looking to achieve fuller, as well as more defined and symmetric lips. The treatment is customizable and allows both for subtle and more noticeable transformations, with results visible for up to 12 months.

How does a lip filler work?
Lip fillers work through a strategic injection of a gel based on hyaluronic acid into the lips. The filler then immediately adds volume to the lips. Your aesthetic professional may then massage the lips slightly to shape them and ensure symmetry. Over the long term, the filler attracts water molecules to keep the lips plump, as well as enhances collagen production in the skin to keep the lips full and hydrated. The process is safe and quick, with minimal levels of discomfort for you.
