Lip enhancement also known as lip augmentation, is a cosmetic procedure that can give you fuller, plumper lips. Dermal fillers are the most commonly used method of lip enhancement. There are many types of dermal fillers that can be injected in your lips and around your mouth. The most common fillers used today are products that contain Hyaluronic Acid (HA). HA is a naturally produced substance already found in your own body that works to maintain the skins structure and increase volume.
What they do?
Dermal filler in the lips can improve the appearance of your lips by adding shape, structure, symmetry, and volume. Once injected into the lips, the gel in the filler supports and shapes the tissues of the lips.
Lip fillers injected by a highly trained and trusted provider are among the quickest and safest approaches to fuller smoother lips. These treatments are minimally invasive, quick, and easy. Multiple techniques are used to obtain the desired enhancement. Everyone’s desires are different and therefore techniques vary to create your individualized look. Techniques are used to create a natural subtle enhancement, lip turnouts, lip pouts, and voluminous lips as well as to create symmetry to lips that have been previously injected or to lips that are naturally asymmetric. Lip injection techniques are also used to smooth fine vertical lines that often extend into the lip border.
All lip filler injection treatments are customized for you in order to best achieve your desired results. With over 20 years experience, our practitioners will guide you the entire way as to your best options for treatment.

What Patients Can Expect
Injections of Hyaluronic Acid lip fillers are performed in our med spa by a skilled and certified practitioner. Prior to injections, local anesthesia may be used to ease discomfort but the overall pain is minimal. The HA gel will then be injected gently under the skin and the lips will experience an immediate increase in smoothness and volume. Generally, the procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on desired results.
Once the procedure is completed, you will be able to continue with your day as usual. There is very little recovery involved. Patients may experience mild side effects that include bruising, redness, or soreness and may last around 3-7 days.
