Filler, adding volume and redefining contours in a delicate and harmonious way. Its biocompatible and absorbable nature makes it extremely safe, with effects that generally last 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of product used, the individual metabolism, and the patient's lifestyle.

It's normal to have doubts and questions before undergoing aesthetic medicine treatment. Here are answers to some of the most common questions about lip fillers:

Is the treatment painful?

The session is very quick and lasts on average 20 to 30 minutes, including the application of the anesthetic cream.

What should I expect after treatment?

Immediately after treatment, it's normal for the lips to appear slightly swollen and red. Small bruises may also form at the injection sites. These side effects are temporary and tend to resolve spontaneously within a few days. The final result will be visible after about a week, when the swelling has completely disappeared.
