How Lip Fillers Really Work!

Here are some common reasons why we recommend lip fillers, and how they work!

• THE MAIN REASON lips begin to thin and flatten out with age is due to a depletion of collagen. Yes, sadly our lips lose collagen as well
• Lip fillers can change, not only the shape and definition of your lips, but they can also be a useful tool for long term hydration, smile correction, and controlled muscle activity
• Using hyaluronic fillers can help restore shape, definition, fullness, and create a more youthful appearance to the lips
• Additionally, hyaluronic fillers provide lasting hydration for the lips, and provide a smooth texture for up to 8 months, if you’re taking good care of your pout
• If you’ve ever gotten lip fillers before, you know it gets worse before it gets better. The swelling is real, but it does go away with proper and easy care (arnica, ice, no hot water, and lots of lip balm)! Once the filler settles and heals, suddenly you think “where did my fillers go? I need more!” Lip fillers can be a very real emotional rollercoaster but we’re here to hold your hand.
