Which Lip Filler Is Right For You?

Lip Filler Basics

When it comes to enhancing your lips, nothing is better than a hyaluronic acid based dermal filler. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occuring sugar in the skin and it works by drawing water into cells. This results in plumper, more youthful appearing lips.

What Lip Fillers Can Do:

Hydrate
As we age, our lips tend to lose their natural hydration, leaving them feeling dry and looking wrinkled. Lip fillers work to draw in more water to give your lips a more youthful and supple appearance.

Plump
Lip filler can make your lips go from looking like a raisin to more like a grape. 

Color
Aging often causes lips to lose their pinkish hue. Lip fillers can help to bring back that rosy tint.

Correct Asymmetries
Lip filler is an excellent tool for achieving balanced, symmetrical lips.
