What is Lip filler?

Lip filler is a cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the appearance of your lips by adding volume, defining shape, and improving symmetry. The most commonly used lip fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and provide a plump, youthful look.

The treatment:

1. • Enhance lip fullness.

   • Define lip contours.

   • Correct asymmetry or imbalances in the lips.

   • Soften fine lines around the mouth, often called “smoker's lines.”

Procedure

1. • A numbing cream or local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort.

   • The filler is injected into targeted areas of the lips using a fine needle

   • The practitioner shapes the filler as needed to achieve the desired look.

Suitability 

• Unsuitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

2. Arrive Without Makeup: On the day of your appointment, arrive with a clean face to avoid any risk of infection

3. Arrive Early: Arrive five minutes early to your appointment.
