During a lip filler treatment, a qualified medical professional injects the dermal filler into specific areas of the lips to achieve the desired results. The hyaluronic acid in the filler attracts and retains water, adding volume and fullness to the lips. The procedure can help enhance lip shape, add definition to the lip borders, and create a more youthful and plump appearance.

Lip fillers are not permanent and are considered a temporary cosmetic treatment. The longevity of results can vary depending on factors such as the type of filler used, individual metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Generally, lip fillers can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months. To maintain the desired results, follow-up treatments may be needed.

The level of discomfort experienced during lip filler injections can vary from person to person. Prior to the treatment, a topical numbing cream or local anesthesia may be applied to minimize any potential discomfort. Additionally, many dermal fillers contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, to enhance patient comfort during the procedure.
