At My Skin, we understand that your lips are a key feature of your facial expression and overall appearance. That's why we offer a range of lip filler treatments to help you achieve the lips you've always wanted.

Types of Lip Fillers
Versa lip fillers are a brand of hyaluronic acid (HA) gel injections specifically designed to plump and enhance your lips. HA, a naturally occurring sugar molecule in your body, attracts and binds water, adding volume and smoothing out wrinkles
Restylane Kysse is a lip-specific hyaluronic acid filler designed for natural-looking fullness and smoother perioral lines. Its "XpresHAn Technology" creates a soft, flexible gel that mimics natural lip movement, avoiding the dreaded "trout pout" effect. Lidocaine eases discomfort, and the formula subtly enhances lip color and texture. Lasting 6-12 months, Kysse is a popular choice for those seeking subtle yet noticeable enhancement, all while maintaining expressive, mobile lips.
Juvederm lip fillers aren't just one product, but a collection of hyaluronic acid (HA) gels specifically designed to add volume and definition to your lips. Think of them as your personal sculptors for cupid's bow, plumpness, and smooth lines around the mouth
What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are a type of cosmetic procedure that can add volume and definition to the lips. They are also known as dermal fillers or lip augmentation. Lip fillers are typically made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance found in the body. HA attracts water and binds to collagen, which helps to plump up the skin.
How Do Lip Fillers Work?
Lip fillers, also known as dermal fillers or lip augmentation, are a type of cosmetic procedure that adds volume and definition to the lips using injectable substances. The most common type of lip filler is hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance found in the body. HA attracts water and binds to collagen, which helps to plump up the skin and add volume.
Once injected into the lips using a fine needle, the filler works to hydrate and plump the tissue, creating a fuller, more defined appearance. The effects of lip fillers are temporary, typically lasting for 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.
