What is lip filler and how does it work?
Lip augmentation is a minimally invasive procedure performed with... hyaluronic acid, a biocompatible gel that attracts water, promotes hydration, and allows for tissue shaping.
The product is applied to strategic points on the lips to:
• Increase the volume in a controlled manner.
• Define the outline and cupid's bow.
• Correct asymmetries
• Improve lip hydration and texture
• To restore volume lost with aging.
There are different application techniques, and the choice depends on the lip shape, age, facial structure, and the patient's goal.
