About Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally produced by our body. It clear and gooey and most of it is found in the skin, connective tissue and also the eyes. The main role of hyaluronic acid is to make sure the tissue remains hydrated and well lubricated. The ability of hyaluronic acid to hold water within the lips provides a plumping-effects, and this makes the end result look much more natural, giving a youthful appearance. The natural ageing process, in addition to sun damage, smoking and other pollutants, can lead to a decrease in levels of skin hyaluronic acid. Lip fillers will give an instant boost to otherwise tired or aged lips.

The lip fillers we use are not permanent (and we explain why on our Lip Fillers page, but essentially, we have taken the decision not to offer any permanent fillers, whether for the lips or other areas of the body. There is currently not enough scientific information on the long term risks of permanent fillers). The dermal filler we use can last from 6 to 18 months, sometimes longer.
