Lip Fillers
Lip fillers are a short treatment in which hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into the upper and/or lower lips.
Lips can be sculpted, volumized, or simply rejuvenated to look younger.
The treatment process
Lip fillers, also known as lip augmentation or lip enhancement, will improve the look of thin lips by replenishing lost volume. Our medical aesthetic specialist can inject a little quantity of filler into your upper and lower lips using hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring chemical present in the human body. You will notice plumper lips right away after these fillers are injected!
Our consultations are performed by our injecting doctor, assessing your skin, chatting through your medical history, all to ensure you are suitable and answer any questions you may have regarding the treatment.
The treatment is quick, simple, and relatively painless, with no downtime
What to expect?
The lip fillers will give your lips a fuller appearance with only one procedure!
The lip injections will add shape where it is needed and smooth out the appearance of uneven lips.
Fine lines and wrinkles around the lips will be decreased, restoring lost volume, a young look, and reversing face ageing. Fast-acting results that last between 4-6 months.
Pictures are shown for demonstration purposes only. Results cannot be guaranteed.
Kiss your old lips goodbye!
