Dermal Filler Applications

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that increase volume, smooth out wrinkles, and improve skin firmness. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers, known for their ability to retain moisture, hydrate and rejuvenate the skin, providing a natural glow. With results lasting between 6 to 18 months, this non-surgical treatment offers a safe and effective way to maintain youthful facial features.

What Is Lip Filler?

Lip filler is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the shape, volume, and symmetry of the lips. It is an ideal option for those who have naturally thin lips or have lost lip volume over time. One of the biggest advantages is that results are immediately visible after the procedure. Since the treatment is temporary, it allows for a return to the lips’ natural state over time if desired.

Types of Lip Fillers

• Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Provide volume while maintaining hydration and plumpness.


• Collagen-Based Fillers: Enhance lip shape while supporting skin structure.

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are naturally occurring and biodegradable. They have been clinically proven to be safe, and if needed, they can be dissolved using a special enzyme (hyaluronidase).

How Is Lip Filler Performed?

• A topical anesthetic cream is applied to numb the lips before the procedure.


• Using ultra-fine needles, the filler is carefully injected into targeted areas.


• The procedure takes approximately 30-40 minutes.


• Results are instantly visible, ensuring a natural and well-balanced appearance.

How Long Does Lip Filler Last?

The longevity of lip fillers varies based on an individual’s metabolism, filler quantity, and lifestyle, typically lasting between 6 to 12 months.

Does Lip Filler Hurt?

Although mild discomfort may be felt, the use of numbing creams minimizes any pain. Additionally, very fine needles are used to reduce swelling, bruising, and discomfort.

What If I Don’t Like My Lip Filler?

If the results are unsatisfactory, the filler can be dissolved using hyaluronidase enzyme. Since lip filler is not permanent, it naturally breaks down within 6 to 9 months.

When Should I Get Lip Filler Again?

If volume loss or fine lines around the mouth start to reappear, a touch-up session may be needed. This typically occurs around one year after the previous treatment.

Who Should Perform Lip Filler Injections?

As the lips are highly vascular and delicate, injections should only be performed by a qualified and experienced medical professional.

Having fillers done in non-medical settings or by untrained individuals can lead to serious, irreversible complications.

Post-Treatment Care: What to Avoid

• Avoid extremely hot or cold food and beverages for the first 24 hours.


• Refrain from excessive lip movements (e.g., biting, pouting).


• Do not apply pressure or massage the lips after treatment.

Inform Your Dermatologist Before Getting Lip Fillers

• Any medications you are currently taking (e.g., blood thinners, antibiotics).


• Any vitamin or supplement use.


• Pregnancy status or plans for pregnancy.


• Any previous cosmetic treatments or surgeries.
