Lip Enhancement
Lip Augmentation
There are 2 common reasons for having a lip filler treatment. One is to reverse age-related changes and the other is to enhance lips with more volume, symmetry or definition or a combination of all. With ageing, genetics or smoking, skin changes lead to lines around the mouth and loss of fullness and projection of the lips. This can be successfully treated with dermal fillers. The type of augmentation will vary according to your age.
Here at Skin Enhance and Wellness, the emphasis is on making you feel more confident and Dr. Tash believes in natural-looking results. Although lip fillers are popular for replacing volume and definition, it is amazing for correcting asymmetry and proportions of the upper and lower lips. The treatment helps to improve the general condition of the lips as hyaluronic acid can hold many times its weight in water and hydrate the lips. After treatment, these premium lip fillers integrate seamlessly to give natural effects for months to come.
