Lip fillers are injectable treatments that consist of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body. Hyaluronic acid attracts water, adding volume and hydration to the treated area. When injected into the lips, these fillers plump and shape the lips, giving them a more defined and youthful appearance.

Because we use naturally occurring fillers, they are completely dissolvable making them an excellent temporary option as you determine the right look for you. The hyaluronic acid is eventually metabolized by the body, and the rate at which this occurs varies by the patient considering factors such as activity level, and metabolic rate. On average, lip fillers last anywhere from eight to ten months, depending on the patient.

We believe in making the lip injection experience as comfortable and efficient as possible. To offset pain or discomfort and reduce downtime after the procedure, we offer a dental block with a local anesthetic to our patients so that the procedure is PAIN-FREE! During the procedure, your practitioner will carefully administer fillers into the lips to achieve your desired result, and the process is complete in under an hour.

After receiving lip injections, results are nearly immediate! Within the first 1-2 weeks, patients will experience some swelling and bruising. Patients are recommended to be gentle with their fillers during the first few days, and to refrain from strenuous activity or treatments such as facials so their fillers can settle into place without being altered. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, many patients can resume normal daily activities quickly, but it is important to talk to your practitioner for specific instructions.

Lip filler results are not permanent and typically last between 6 to 12 months, depending on factors such as the type of filler used, your metabolism, and your body's natural breakdown of the product.

Modern lip enhancement techniques focus on achieving natural-looking results. Communicating your goals clearly with your injector is essential. Gradual adjustments can be made over multiple sessions to achieve the desired outcome without looking overdone.

Downtime is minimal, with most people returning to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some swelling, redness, and bruising may occur, but these usually subside within a few days.

After receiving filler injections, some patients have minor, temporary side effects where they were injected. You may have:

· Redness

· Swelling

· Tenderness

· Bruising (occasionally)

These side effects tend to clear within 7 to 14 days — if not earlier.

It’s best to avoid exercising for at least 24 hours after the procedure. Any increased blood flow to your face will only make the swelling worse, so let your lips do their thing for a little while before hitting the gym.
