Lip augmentation

Acid Fillers* are used to give volume and definition to lips. Click here for further information on Fillers. [* The Belgian Federal Agency for medicines and health products forbids us to mention trademark names and even generic names of used products /implants online]

The injected acid is a biodegradable product, available under different brand names on the market. This acid is 100% safe because it is completely biodegradable and anti-allergic.

In most cases the upper and lower lips are treated together.

To treat fine wrinkles of the upper lip or so-called “BARCODE” appearance, mostly a combination of treatments is necessary:

Acid filler* to give extra filling
Wrinkle relaxing injection* to relax and diminish the contraction of the muscles
Skin Rejuvenation with Phenol Peeling (1x) or Medical Needling (up to 5 sessions).

How long will the effect last?

The effect of a lip augmentation with acid filler** usually lasts, depending on which product is used, 4 to 12 months. After that it can be repeated.

Preparation treatment

We will advice you about the necessary preparation. Please ask when you make the appointment.

treatment

Depending on the area, a topical cream or local anaesthetic will be applied to help numb the area being treated. The injection is done with a small thin needle. During treatment, you can look in the mirror and indicate whether the injected volume meets up to your expectation. Before and after photos will be taken.
