What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip filler is an injectable treatment that adds volume, shape, and definition to your lips. The most popular type of lip filler is a gel-like substance made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps keep your skin hydrated and plump. When injected into the lips, hyaluronic acid fillers create a fuller, more defined look that can be customized to your liking.
