Understanding Lip Fillers
Lip fillers are a type of dermal fillers. Today’s lip fillers use hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your body that helps maintain skin hydration and volume. These safe, effective fillers can enhance your lips while maintaining their natural softness and movement. Whether you’re looking to add volume, improve symmetry, or restore fullness lost with age, we’ll help you achieve the results you want.
What Lip Injections Can Achieve
Our lip filler treatments can enhance your lips in several ways:
Volume and Shape
If you have naturally thin lips or have lost volume with age, lip injections can create fuller, more defined lips that still look natural.
Balance and Symmetry
We can correct unevenness between your upper and lower lips, or improve symmetry from side to side.
Definition
Lip injections can enhance your lip border and cupid’s bow (the ‘M’ shape at the top of your upper lip), creating more defined, attractive lips.
Lines Around the Mouth
As we age, fine lines often develop around the lips. Strategic filler placement can soften these lines while enhancing your lips.
Every person’s lips are unique. We consider your natural lip shape, features, and aesthetic goals when planning any type of facial treatment. This attention to detail helps ensure your results look natural and complement your face.
Your Lip Enhancement Journey

- What results you can realistically expect
- How to prepare for your treatment

Treatment
Your comfort is our priority during lip injections. Here’s what to expect:
First, we apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. The lip fillers we use also contain lidocaine, a numbing medication that helps minimize any discomfort during injection.
Using precise techniques, we carefully place the filler to create your desired enhancement. The entire treatment typically takes about 30 minutes.

- Some swelling for 3-5 days
