Results from lip injections are immediate, with final shape and volume settling within 3 to 7 days as swelling subsides. Most fillers last 6 to 9 months, depending on the type used and your metabolism. Over time, results naturally fade, but regular touch-ups help maintain fullness. Some clients enjoy extended benefits due to stimulated collagen production. If desired, your provider can adjust volume over time to help you achieve the perfect, personalized look.

Most clients report only mild discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, and many fillers contain lidocaine to enhance comfort. You may feel light pressure or a pinch during injection. The entire process typically takes 15–30 minutes. Post-procedure, you can expect mild swelling or tenderness that usually fades within a few days. Our team ensures a relaxed, comfortable environment so you feel confident and at ease from start to finish.

Yes—one of the biggest benefits of hyaluronic acid-based lip fillers is that they are reversible. If you’re unhappy with the look or feel, your provider can use an enzyme called hyaluronidase to safely dissolve the product. However, most clients are thrilled with their results! We take a conservative, step-by-step approach to ensure you’re happy at every stage and in full control of your aesthetic outcome.

Common side effects include mild swelling, tenderness, redness, or bruising at the injection site. These are typically temporary and subside within 5 to 7 days. Slight asymmetry or small bumps may occur but usually resolve as the filler settles. If you have a history of cold sores, let your provider know—filler can trigger a recurrence, but we can provide preventative medication. Overall, lip fillers are considered very safe when performed by trained professionals.

You can safely repeat lip filler treatments every 6 to 12 months. Many clients choose to build volume gradually, returning for touch-ups to refine shape or maintain their results. Because hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture and stimulate collagen, some improvement may persist even after the product dissolves. Your provider will recommend a timeline based on your goals and how your body metabolizes the filler.
