LIP ENHANCEMENT FAQ
How does a Lip Enhancement work?
Lip filler treatment involves natural gel-like Hyaluronic acid being injected into target areas of the lips with a needle.
What can you expect with a Lip Enhancement?
You will be required to come in at least 30 minutes before your scheduled treatment time for local anesthesia ointment to be applied to the lip area. Your medical professional may capture photographs of the soon-to-be treated area(s).
Once the treatment has started, your Registered Nurse will inject, massage, and evaluate the area being treated. If needed, an additional filler may be used to make sure you are happy with the results and that it meets your aspirations.
After the treatment, your Registered Nurse will show you the results and will ask if you are satisfied. If you are satisfied with the results, we will give you an ice pack to reduce the swelling and relieve any discomfort.
