Lip Filler
in Asheville
Aging is a natural part of life, but that doesn't mean we have to forgo feeling confident and beautiful in our own skin. One of the most compelling options for revitalizing aging lips is the use of lip fillers. Unlike traditional cosmetic procedures, lip fillers provide a non-invasive, subtle enhancement that leaves lips looking smooth, natural, and beautifully plump.

What Is Lip Filler?
Lip fillers are designed to restore the volume that diminishes with age, giving lips a youthful plumpness that looks and feels authentic. The key ingredient in most fillers is hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, which means the results are not only effective but also harmonious with your natural features. This ensures that the enhancement is seamless, offering a refreshed appearance without the telltale signs of cosmetic alteration.
Lip filler treatment is beneficial for:
Enhancing lip shape.
Addressing lip asymmetry.
Balancing the proportion between the upper and lower lip.
Increasing volume.
Enhancing the definition of lip borders or Cupid's bow.
The look of hydration.
Smoothing lipstick lines.
Turning up the lip corners for a resting smile.

What To Expect For Your Lip Filler Procedure

How To Prepare For Your Lip Filler Treatment
Make sure to prepare appropriately for your lip filler appointment to maximize effectiveness and minimize potential side effects.
Avoid aspirin, vitamin E, St. John’s Wort, fish oil and other dietary supplements including: ginkgo, evening primrose oil, garlic, feverfew, and ginseng for 1-2 weeks. These have a blood thinning effect and increase the risk of bruising.
Avoid ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and alcohol for 2 days.
Take oral Arnica Montana tablets and bromelain (pineapple enzyme), 5 days prior to injections to minimize the risk of bruising. We have Silagen available which is a capsule containing both arnica and bromelain. Continue taking these supplements for +/-3 days after injections to aid in the healing process.
If possible, come to your appointment with a cleanly washed face without makeup
Stay relaxed. While some anxiety is natural, know that you are in skilled hands and trust the process!
Following these guidelines ensures a smoother process and best results!
During Your Lip Filler Procedure
After discussing your goals during your in-depth consultation, our injection specialist will cleanse your skin to ensure a sterile working area. Injections are then carefully placed in the targeted areas to restore volume, smooth creases, and rejuvenate your look. Your treatment provider may use ice or numbing cream to minimize discomfort, and the appointment can last between 20 to 60 minutes, depending on your treatment goals. You will be provided with thorough post treatment instructions before you leave the office to show off your results!
Lip Filler Aftercare and Recovery Timeline
After receiving lip filler treatment, you will notice immediate improvement. Any swelling, redness, or bruising that occurs is temporary and fades quickly. Over the next two weeks, as your skin heals, swelling reduces, and the gel blends with your natural tissue, you will see further enhancement in your results.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Depending on the plan outlined between you and your injection artist, you may be able to meet your aesthetic goals in a single filler session, or it may require multiple sessions to achieve your desired result. The amount of filler and number of visits needed depends on the treatment goals, age, and skin type of each client.
What Kind Of Results Can I Expect?
Whether it's adding volume to lips or enhancing lip shape, lip filler replenishes lost volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. You can anticipate a subtle result that enhances your features and brings out your natural beauty.
Can I Get Lip Filler If I’ve Already Had Other Corrective Procedures?
Lip filler is a great option for those looking to enhance and maintain their natural beauty. When used as part of an anti-aging regimen, it complements other treatments such as lasers, microneedling, Botox, and peels seamlessly. Ensure treatments are scheduled 2-4 weeks apart for optimal results.
Is A Lip Filler Like Restylane Right For Me?
Lip filler is ideal for individuals going through the natural facial aging process. Considered valuable assets in the realm of healthy aging aesthetics, lip filler works best for candidates who are healthy, have practical expectations, and are open to using other treatments in conjunction to maximize outcomes and longevity.
