Lip Augmentation

Overview

Enhance the natural beauty of your lips with Restylane, a top-quality hyaluronic acid-based filler designed to add volume, define contours, and improve overall lip symmetry. Whether you desire a subtle enhancement or more dramatic results, Restylane offers a personalized solution that provides immediate, natural-looking effects.

Benefits

  • Immediate Results: Enjoy fuller, beautifully shaped lips right after the treatment
  • Natural Look: Restylane provides a soft, natural finish that enhances your lips without looking overdone.

  • Minimally Invasive: The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort and downtime.

  •  Customizable: Treatment can be tailored to achieve the desired volume and shape.

How It Works

During the procedure, Restylane is carefully injected into specific areas of the lips using a fine needle. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane attracts and retains moisture, adding volume and definition. The treatment is performed in a series of small injections to ensure a balanced, symmetrical result. The entire procedure typically takes about 30-45 minutes.

What to Expect

  • Duration: 30-45 minutes
  • Pain Level: Most patients experience only minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch or sting.
  • Recovery: Mild swelling and bruising may occur, usually subsiding within a few days. Most clients return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.
  • Results: Results are visible immediately, with full effects becoming more apparent within 1-2 weeks as any swelling subsides.

Before & After Care

Before the Procedure:

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil) for at least one week prior to your appointment.
  • Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol for 24 hours before the treatment.

 

After the Procedure:

  • Apply ice packs to the treated area to reduce swelling.
  • Avoid strenuous activities and direct sun exposure for 24 hours.
  • Refrain from massaging or touching your lips to prevent filler migration.
