What are ”lip fillers"?

Fillers are hyaluronic acid (HA) substances that naturally exist in our skin. This substance functions to maintain skin moisture and stimulate collagen production. Injecting fillers into the lip area will make the lips more moist and smoother, helping to solve problems of dry, thin, or shapeless lips. It also helps to lift the corners of the mouth, creating a balanced and beautiful shape.

What kind of lip filler should be used?

The most commonly used filler brands include Restylane, Juvederm, and Belotero, among others. Currently, Restylane has released a specific lip filler product called Restylane Kysse. Because it has a fine texture and high stability, it makes lip shaping easy and lasts for 1 year. It helps create well-defined lip borders, adds moisture, and makes the lips appear plump and healthy. This also depends on the doctor's assessment and the patient's desired lip shape for each case.

Restylane Kysse Can address 3 popular lip shapes, namely:

  • Sexy KISS, American-style lips, plump up your lips to look sexy.
  • Cherry KYSSE, cupid's bow lips, plump lower lip, Korean style
  • Classy KYSSE moisturizes lips, plumps them for a natural look, and gives healthy-looking lips.

Other filler brands with similar properties can also be injected into the lips, depending on the patient's budget and the doctor's assessment.
