Lip Filler

Lip filler has very quickly become one of the most sought-after aesthetic services. Whether it is adding a subtle enhancement and hydration, which is achieved with our mini lip treatment, or more volume and shape, typically addressed with a full syringe of filler, we have options to suit all wants and needs.

Get The Facts

Lip filler is most often comprised of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring sugar in the body. These are used to restore volume and hydration and to create more shape and definition. Choosing the right product and injecting it with the correct technique is vital to helping clients achieve their desired outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ How long does Lip Filler last?

Depending on the type of Filler product and the amount injected, Lip Filler will last around 6-12 months. Many clients will continue with a maintenance treatment once a year.

+ Can Lip Filler look “natural”?

Absolutely! Starting slow and not over-injecting the lips will give the most optimal outcome. Also, choosing the right product and injecting it with the correct technique is vital to achieving beautiful, natural-looking results.

+ Can I receive Lip Filler the day before an event?

After Lip Filler, your lips will be swollen for about 48-72 hours and you will be sent home with an ice pack to help with swelling. Bruising is also a common side effect that should subside in 5-7 days. We recommend getting your lips treated at least 2-4 weeks in advance before any important events to allow the lip tissue adequate time to heal.

+ How much do lip fillers cost?

The cost of lip filler treatments can vary depending on factors such as the type of filler used, the amount of filler required, the practitioner’s expertise, and the geographic location. On average, lip fillers can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars per treatment session. It’s best to consult with a reputable practitioner to get an accurate estimate based on your specific needs.

+ Can lip fillers be reversed or dissolved?

Yes, one advantage of using hyaluronic acid fillers is that they can be reversed or dissolved if needed. An enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected into the treated area to break down the filler, allowing the lips to return to their original appearance.

+ Can I choose the shape and size of my lips with lip fillers?

Yes, lip fillers can be tailored to meet your specific goals and desires. During your consultation, you can discuss your desired shape, volume, and overall aesthetic with your practitioner. They will assess your lips and facial features and recommend a treatment plan that suits you.
