Fillers

Lip fillers, also known as dermal fillers or lip injections, are substances injected into the lips to temporarily or semi-permanently enhance their size, shape, and fullness. They are a popular cosmetic procedure and are often used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, or to achieve a plumper, more youthful look.

The most common type of lip filler is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the body, which attracts and binds water molecules, giving the lips a fuller appearance. Other types of fillers can include collagen and fat transfer, but hyaluronic acid-based fillers have become the preferred choice due to their safety profile, reversibility, and more predictable results.

The effects of lip fillers usually last between six to twelve months, depending on the individual and the type of filler used. The procedure is typically performed by a qualified medical professional. It is important to discuss your goals and expectations with the provider to ensure you achieve the desired outcome.
