Syringe lip filler is a popular treatment for those seeking subtle enhancement or light plumping. Injections can enhance a variety of areas in the lips, including defining the vermilion border, enhancing the natural curvature of the mouth and balance, or simply providing a boost of volume that is gentle, soft, and natural-looking.
In general, the syringe lip filler product for a soft, natural-looking result is hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and holds water molecules to create plumpness. HA is safe and requires no allergy testing prior to treatment, and it is completely absorbed by the body after about a year.
Using a half syringe of filler, we can achieve a very subtle, but appreciable change in the appearance of the lips. This is ideal for first-timers or those who are not seeking major reshaping or significant volume. The conservative 0.5ml amount of filler is also well-suited to addressing minor asymmetry, such as when one lip is thinner than the other.
Everything You Need to Know About Syringe Lip Filler Treatments
Our skilled nurse injectors use a combination of artistry and technique to create an enhancement that enhances specific features without creating an unnaturally enlarged appearance. For example, they will often apply the Ashton technique to enhance the top lips, while defining the bottom lips and boosting the surface area with Defyne. By combining the Ashton and Defyne techniques, they can give you a nice lip lift while increasing your surface area with a more natural-looking result that lasts about 6 months. Swelling, bruising, and tenderness is common for a few days after treatment, but can be minimized with cold compresses and acetaminophen. Maintaining proper maintenance with daily moisturizing and nighttime lip treatments maximizes longevity of results.
