What lip filler does
Lip filler uses cross-linked hyaluronic acid, a substance your body already makes, to add shape, definition and hydration to the lips.
The goal is balance with the rest of your face, not an overfilled look. We plan it with the MD Codes™ approach, the same one we use for facial harmonization.
What it can improve
- Thin or flat lips
- Lip border definition
- Dry lips that lack smoothness
- Asymmetry between the upper and lower lip
- Fine lines around the mouth

- Wait 48 hours before intense exercise.
