What is it / how does it work

A dermal filler is a substance that mimics the body’s own Hyaluronic Acid (HA). They are manmade and non-animal. Lip augmentation adds shape and volume to the lip. Injecting dermal filler along the lip border and into the body of the lip can achieve this.

What can it treat

• Lip filler can provide volume & fullness to thin lips
• Lip filler provides symmetry to uneven lips
• Lip filler can give definition to the Cupid’s Bow & Vermilion Border

How is it performed

Every effort is made to reduce any discomfort so a local topical anesthetic can be applied prior to treatment as well as using products with local anesthetic mixed The dermal filler is then carefully injected to address your concerns
