Lip Filler
Lip filler uses soft hyaluronic acid filler to add volume, improve shape and definition, and smooth fine lip lines. Violacell focuses on natural proportion rather than exaggerated size. Treatment takes about 10–20 minutes with numbing cream; lips are usually swollen for 1–3 days and the final shape is seen after about two weeks.
What is Lip Filler?
Lips thin with age and lose the border definition that frames the mouth. Small, well-placed amounts restore a fresher look.
