Lip filler in Shelby Township, MI
Lip filler treatments offer numerous benefits, making them a popular choice for individuals seeking to enhance their lips’ appearance. One of the primary advantages is the ability to achieve fuller, more voluminous lips, which can significantly enhance facial harmony and balance. Lip fillers can also address asymmetry, define the lip borders, and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look. The treatment process for lip fillers is relatively straightforward and minimally invasive. It begins with a consultation, where the practitioner assesses the patient’s goals and determines the appropriate filler type and injection sites. We offer a variety of Restylane and RHA Filler products. A topical anesthetic or numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure. The practitioner then carefully injects the filler into specific areas of the lips, using fine needles or cannulas to achieve the desired shape and volume. The entire process usually takes about 30 minutes. Post-treatment, there may be slight swelling or bruising, but these effects typically subside within a few days. Patients can expect to see immediate improvements, with results lasting from six months to over a year, depending on the filler type and individual factors. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain the enhanced appearance of the lips.
