Lip Filler

What is lip filler and How it works?

 

Lip filler is a quick and safe treatment for lip augmentation to plump, created more defined border around lips and achieve proportionally more desired balanced look between upper and lower lips.

 

We use top quality Swiss made Hyaluronic Acid – a clear biodegradable gel which is naturally present in the body. This is placed carefully in the body of the lip and or the border of the lip to produce volume and definition. The gel gradually over a few weeks integrates into the lips softening and settling. The results can be subtle or dramatic.

Benefit:

 

  • A more pleasing lip shape and volume

  • A natural result using a variety of techniques

  • Enhance/more defined border; cupids bow and philtrum which is the columns between the lip and nose.
