INJECTABLES
Discover the enhancing benefits of Lip Fillers. Designed to add volume and improve lip shape, this treatment is perfect for those looking to achieve fuller, more defined lips with immediate results.
HOW LIP FILLERS WORK
Lip fillers, primarily composed of hyaluronic acid (e.g., RHA, Restylane), are injectable treatments that add volume to the lips and smooth out fine lines around the mouth. These fillers work by attracting and retaining moisture, which plumps the lips and enhances their shape. The procedure involves injecting the filler into various parts of the lips, including the edges (vermillion border), the Cupid’s bow, and the corners of the mouth to achieve the desired look.

Treatment
During the treatment, our specialists will apply a topical anesthetic to numb the lips and minimize discomfort. Using a fine needle, the filler is injected into the targeted areas. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes, and the results are visible immediately. Most hyaluronic acid fillers last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the individual and the type of filler used.

FAQs for Lip Fillers
The treatment typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour.
There is minimal downtime; patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which usually subsides within a few days.
Most clients achieve their desired results with one session, but touch-ups may be needed to maintain the effects.
Results are visible immediately after the procedure, with full effects developing over the next few days as any swelling subsides.
Post-Treatment Care
Lips may be swollen for several days (up to 2 weeks) following your lip filler treatment.
Swelling may increase during the first 24 hours. Applying ice packs gently to the lips for no more than 30 seconds at a time throughout the first 1-2 days can help with swelling. Do not over-ice.
Do consider taking over the counter Arnica supplements if not contraindicated with your current medication regimen (available online, at most supplement stores, Whole Foods, etc) to help reduce the risk of bruising, start taking oral Arnica 7-10 days before treatment. Continue taking after treatment until bruising and/or swelling has subsided. Take as directed on the bottle.
Take an antihistamine (Claritin or Zyrtec) 3 days prior to treatment. Continue taking after treatment until swelling has subsided. This will help reduce swelling.
Avoid exercise for 48 hours following treatment as it may increase swelling.
Bruising may also occur in or around the lips. Bruises may not be visible but may feel like small lumps within the lips. This is common in the first two weeks and even up to 6 weeks. Lips may temporarily appear uneven because of this.
Starting on day 3, a slightly firm massage of the lips with clean fingertips will help bruises to break down or absorb and will promote a smooth result. Massage with fingertips several times daily for the first 2 weeks.
Keep lips well moisturized in the coming days with a non-medicated moisturizer like Vaseline. Lipstick/makeup may be applied the following day if desired.
