Lips are the main focal point on the face and they can say a lot about a person's age, health and character. Our lips are an indicator of ageing, as time spent biting or pursing them can lead to thin, deflated lips over time. Years spent talking, chewing, pouting, smoking or smiling can lead to lines and wrinkles gathering around the lips.

The good news is, you can rejuvenate your lips however old you might be. Typically, full plump lips are a sign of youthfulness, which is one of the main reasons women have their lips enhanced. The lips start losing collagen as a direct result of ageing, and then they start to thin. Lip enhancement is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that increases flat, thin lips, adds volume and enhances the shape. Dermal fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance that occurs naturally in the body.

Important rules for lip fillers enhancement:

Safety - The preferred filler for lips is hyaluronic acid based, as with this, side effects are extremely rare. This filler gives lips a natural feel, and they're soft, and they are absorbable and reversible if needed.

Natural looking results - Our lips are always on the go, so when we talk or smile we want it to look natural. For natural looking lips it's best to start with a small amount of filler and add more later, if needed. Less is often more and it's best to have natural looking lips, instead of over-stuffing them.
