Dermal lip filler is usually made of hyaluronic acid and is used for many reasons. The primary reason clients seek out lip filler is for volume. Having fuller and pouty lips is the number one reason, as well as to help cover gum tissue, especially if the top lip is small and curves inwards when smiling. The second reason both men and women receive lip filler is to give it a hydrated appearance and to eliminate “lip wrinkles”. The skin of the lip is thin and sensitive to the harsh UV light. Remember to protect your lips from the sun, and apply a lip balm that contains SPF.
