Lips
Enhance the look of your Lips, Naturally with Lip Filler by adding more volume.
BEFORE / AFTER
What are Lip Fillers:
Lip fillers are non-surgical injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid - the featured ingredient in many moisturizers, and a naturally occurring compound found in skin. Fillers work to restore and plump up soft tissue volume, smooth the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and give lips a naturally fuller look.
How it works:
During your consultation our nurse injector will talk to you about what you’re looking to achieve and what questions you may have to better understand your goals with lip filler. This is a great time for you to share your desired lip appearance and any specific concerns you have about the treatment. We will then create a personalized treatment plan for you, including the amount of filler needed.
What to expect:
Treatment takes about 45-60 minutes. Our nurse injector will apply a topical numbing cream to your lips and let it absorb for about 15 to 25 minutes prior to injecting your lips and this is to ensure you are as comfortable as possible during the treatment. Next filler will then be injected into your lips and will immediately add structure and volume to the surface. Results are natural-looking and treatment is safe with little downtime. After treatment, ice may be given to ease discomfort and control swelling. Mild swelling, bruising and soreness may occur. You will see results immediately and can expect them to last 6-24 months.

One of the things that makes dermal fillers so great is there's little downtime. Immediately after the treatment, there may be redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness and / or itching at or near the injection site. These symptoms are normal and should resolve within a few days. But for this reason we do not recommend scheduling your appointment right before a big event.

Results can be seen immediately after treatment and will get better over the course of 2-3 weeks as the filler integrates with your own tissue. Filler can last anywhere from 6-24 months depending on the filler used and the injection area.
