Lip enhancement
Lip enhancement with injections is the perfect treatment for you if you are not happy with the size or shape of your lips, or if they are assymetric in some way. Fine lines and tiny wrinkles above your lip can also be effectively treated with filler injections.
There are quite a few products—known collectively as dermal fillers—that specialists can inject to temporarily increase the size of your lips. Fillers are becoming more accessible, affordable, and natural-looking every day.
At ART MEDIC, we use restylane injections to effectively enhance your lips. This filler is derived from hyaluronan, a natural substance already found in the skin, and is injected with tiny injections into and around your lips to reach the desired result. It is non-permanent, breaks down completely to water and there is no possibility of allergy. No skin test is required prior to treatment.

Enhancing your lips with restylane injections
Clear Restylane gel is injected directly into and around the lips using a fine needle. Local anesthetic is used to anesthetize the injection sites. Mild to moderate stinging and burning sensation is common during the procedure.
Once injected, Restylane integrates into the dermis and binds water. The results are immediate. It does nothing to hinder the normal metabolism and movement of nutrients and oxygen. Over time, Restylane is gradually reabsorbed without a trace, therefore follow up treatments are needed to maintain your results at 6 to 12 month intervals. The amount of Restylane used during your treatment depends on the desired correction.
Side effects include redness, swelling, and injection site pain that may last for up to one week. Lip swelling and discomfort can be significant and asymmetry may be experienced during the first one to two weeks. Also, small bumps of Restylane may be palpated at the site of injection. These bumps are not usually visible, but can remain for several weeks or months after injection before gradually blending into your lips.
