LIP FILLERS –
HOW DO THEY
WORK?
Fillers are made up of a gel-like substance that is injected
just underneath the surface of the skin to increase
volume in that area.
There are several different types of fillers but when
it comes to lip augmentation, hyaluronic acid-based
fillers are used. This particular type of dermal filler is
still the most popular choice because hyaluronic acid is
naturally produced by the body. Along with it providing
instantaneous enhancement, it will also stimulate
collagen production, which will benefit the mouth area
over the long term.
Other types of dermal fillers contain more complex
ingredients, some of which are man-made, which tend
to make the results last longer than traditional HA filler.
The amazing thing about the fillers that we use here at
Dr Anh’s Medispa, is that they are formulated to attract
water molecules, meaning you will get a boost of
hydration to the area! This can help with tone, texture and
appearance.
FILLERS AREN’T
JUST FOR ADDING
VOLUME
The vast majority of patients use dermal fillers to
increase the size and enhance the shape of their lips.
What you may not realise is that this increase in volume
has a knock-on smoothing effect that will iron out any
lines that have formed around the mouth or on the upper
lip. Finally, dermal filler can also be used to define the
borders of the lips.
