WHAT ARE LIP FILLERS?

LIP FILLERS ARE NON-SURGICAL COSMETIC PROCEDURES PERFORMED TO PLUMP THE LIPS. THE PRIMARY COMPONENT IN THESE FILLERS IS HYALURONIC ACID. IT IS INJECTED THROUGH A VERY FINE NEEDLE.

HOW DO LIP FILLERS WORK?

THE DERMAL FILLER, HYALURONIC ACID, IS INJECTED INTO THE LIPS THROUGH A VERY FINE NEEDLE. DEPENDING ON THE DESIRED RESULTS, THE AESTHETICIAN OR THE EXPERT WILL DETERMINE THE CORRECT VOLUME TO BE INJECTED.

THE LIPS ARE MASSAGED SOFTLY SO THAT THE FILLER WILL HAVE AN EVEN DISTRIBUTION. THIS STEP IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT YOUR LIPS LOOK NATURAL.

With the popularity of lip fillers on the rise, we take great care in making sure every patient leaves feeling confident with the results of treatment. If you’re self-conscious about your lips, you are not alone! Many people are dissatisfied with thin lips that lack definition, and lip fillers are a popular solution.

When done properly, lip injections look natural and are virtually painless. Our highly experienced, board-certified dermatologists have been performing perfect lip augmentations for years.

The procedure is virtually pain-free, as we meticulously place the needle gently in the correct spots. Your lips will be numbed with a topical cream a few minutes beforehand to ensure maximum comfort. Most patients compare the sensation to the feeling of getting their eyebrows threaded.

When it comes to lip injections, less is more. We are highly confident in avoiding the “duck-lips” look and know how to highlight your natural lip shape to match your face.

Although many beauty salons and spas offer lip injections, we HIGHLY suggest avoiding getting your lips done at these locations. They tend to over-fill lips, leading to that dreaded duck-lip look and may even cause permanent damage.
