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.

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.
