Lips play a fundamental role in facial aesthetics. They are particularly sexy and seductive when they are plump , full, smooth and moisturised. More and more attention is being paid to the lips, and we have many patients asking us for plump, sexy lips without imperfections or wrinkles. The tissues surrounding the lips in fact, with the passing of the years, tend to take on a wrinkled appearance, with small wrinkles all around the mouth.

Aesthetic medicine makes it possible to eliminate these wrinkles,reshape the lips or increase their volume thanks to targeted treatments.In particular,hyaluronic acid is the substance most commonly used forlip fillers. It is a natural substance, present in all human tissues, which is injected into the lips through very fine needles so as to allow precise and even distribution.

Lip treatment by injection of hyaluronic acid is now a standard in aesthetic medicine. It is performed under local anaesthesia using lidocaine-based creams or through micro-injections of local anaesthetic. The safety of the treatment lies in the fact that hyaluronic acid does not require any allergy tests and is absolutely compatible with and reabsorbable by the body itself. The treatment lasts only a few minutes and the result can be appreciated immediately after infiltration. The duration of the treatment is strongly dependent on the patient's mimicry, but in general we can say that it allows a beautiful turgor of the lips for at least 6-9 months.

With this technique it is possible to achieve an increase in lip volume, redefinition of the edges, and elimination of perioral wrinkles. Some patients, before undergoing treatment, express their concern about overfilling. In fact, it is good practice to gradually increase the amount of filler over several sessions in order to assess the partial aesthetic results with the patient and gradually achieve the desired results.
