What are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are injectable substances used to add volume, enhance shape, and improve the overall appearance of the lips. They are a non-surgical option for lip augmentation and can provide immediate results with minimal downtime.
How Do Lip Fillers Work?
Lip fillers are injected into the lips to:
- Add Volume: Fillers can plump up thin lips to create a fuller, more voluminous appearance.
- Enhance Shape: Fillers can be used to define the lip border and create a more symmetrical and balanced lip shape.
- Smooth Wrinkles: Fillers can fill in fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
The most common type of lip filler is hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin. HA fillers are temporary and typically last 6-12 months.
The procedure is typically performed in the office and takes 15-30 minutes.
