Lip Enhancement with Hyaluronic Acid

Lip enhancement with hyaluronic acid adds volume, definition and balance to the lips for a fuller but natural result. At Clinic for Luck the practitioner can increase lip size, correct asymmetry, define the lip border and smooth the fine vertical lines around the mouth, tailoring the shape to suit the face rather than over-filling. The hyaluronic gel is the same naturally occurring substance used in facial fillers, so results look soft and natural and are reversible. Priced from 6,000 Kč per millilitre, with most treatments using around 1 ml.

Lip enhancement (zvětšení rtů kyselinou hyaluronovou) is one of the most requested aesthetic injectable treatments, but a good result depends entirely on restraint and technique — the goal at Clinic for Luck is lips that look naturally fuller and better defined, in proportion with the rest of the face, rather than obviously augmented. Hyaluronic acid is ideal for the lips because it is soft, integrates with the natural tissue, holds water to give a supple feel, and can be dissolved if the patient ever wishes to reverse it. The practitioner assesses the lips and surrounding area and plans the injection precisely to the patient's goals: adding overall volume to thin lips, correcting asymmetry between the upper and lower lip or between sides, defining and sharpening the vermilion border, enhancing the cupid's bow, and softening the fine vertical "smoker's" lines that form around the mouth with age. A filler of suitable density is injected through a fine needle or cannula at carefully chosen points to build the desired shape evenly. The treatment takes around 30 minutes, and because hyaluronic acid binds water the lips look fuller immediately, though some initial swelling is normal and the final, settled shape appears after a couple of days. A cold compress reduces swelling, and patients avoid heat, intense exercise and pressure on the lips briefly afterward. Results typically last several months to a year depending on the product and individual metabolism, and the treatment is easily repeated to maintain the effect. Lip work pairs naturally with broader facial filler or botulinum toxin treatment of the mouth area. At consultation the practitioner discusses the desired shape and volume and recommends how much filler will achieve a balanced, natural enhancement.
