What are Lip Fillers
Lip fillers are a type of dermal filler specifically designed to enhance the appearance of the lips. These fillers typically contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and plumpness.
How it Works
Lip fillers are injected into the lips to add volume, shape, and definition. The hyaluronic acid in the filler attracts water molecules, providing hydration and creating a plumping effect. The amount and placement of the filler can be customised to achieve the desired results, whether it’s a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation.
What they Treat
Lip fillers are used to address various cosmetic concerns related to the lips, including:
Thin lips: Lip fillers can add volume to thin lips, making them appear fuller and more pronounced. This can help achieve a more balanced and youthful facial aesthetic.
Lip asymmetry: If the upper and lower lips have noticeable differences in size or shape, lip fillers can be used to create symmetry and achieve a more harmonious appearance.
Lip lines and wrinkles: Lip fillers can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, such as vertical lip lines or smoker’s lines. The filler adds volume to the area, reducing the visibility of these lines.
Cupid’s bow enhancement: Lip fillers can enhance the natural curves and contours of the lips, including the Cupid’s bow, which is the V-shaped area in the center of the upper lip. This can create a more defined and aesthetically pleasing lip shape.
Lip definition: Fillers can be strategically injected to define the lip borders, improving lip definition and creating a more distinct lip shape.
It’s important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider or cosmetic professional who has experience with lip fillers to discuss individual goals and expectations. They will be able to provide personalised recommendations and perform the treatment safely and effectively.
