Hyaluronic Acid Fillers & Lip Enhancement

Hyaluronic acid fillers at Dermo-Estetic add volume and definition where it has been lost or is desired — most popularly the lips, but also the cheeks, chin and the folds running from nose to mouth. Soft gel is placed by a doctor to shape and balance the face, with the amount tailored to the individual. Priced per millilitre from 750 zł, treatment is suited to those wanting fuller lips or restored facial volume with a natural finish.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the skin and binds water; as a cross-linked gel it is used to add volume, smooth folds and define contours. At Dermo-Estetic the filler is placed by a doctor, most often to enhance the lips — improving their shape, border and symmetry — and also to restore volume to the cheeks, chin and jawline or to soften the nasolabial and marionette folds. The volume is tailored to the person, and conservative amounts are commonly used for first-time lip treatments to keep the result balanced. A topical anaesthetic is generally applied and many fillers also contain lidocaine for comfort. The gel is injected with a fine needle or a blunt cannula depending on the area, and the result is visible immediately, settling over the following one to two weeks as any initial swelling resolves. Mild swelling, tenderness or small bruises are common for a few days, and lips in particular tend to swell for the first day or two. Hyaluronic acid results are temporary and are gradually broken down by the body over a number of months, after which the treatment can be repeated. A practical safety feature of hyaluronic acid is that it can usually be dissolved with an enzyme if an adjustment is wanted. Pricing is per millilitre, and the doctor reviews goals, suitability and any contraindications — including pregnancy and breastfeeding, and active cold sores for lip treatment — before proceeding.
