Also known as dermal fillers, lip fillers semi-permanently add volume and plumpness to the lips by injecting small quantities of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally produced by the body.
Results are visible immediately, with the full effect typically appearing within a few weeks. The duration varies from person to person, but most can expect results to last between 6 months to 1 year.
The injections include a small amount of local anaesthetic to block pain signals. During the procedure, some may feel a slight stinging or scratching sensation. Post-procedure, redness, tenderness, and swelling may occur, lasting from a few hours to up to two weeks.
At Letterkenny Medics and AesthetiDocs, we prioritise a natural appearance with our treatments. When administered correctly and in small quantities, lips will appear naturally plump.
No procedure is without risk. We thoroughly explain each procedure's side effects, risks, and benefits during your initial consultation to ensure your comfort and safety.
