Let’s dive in!
What Are Lip Fillers and How Do They Work?
Lip fillers are hyaluronic acid-based injectables designed to add volume, shape, and hydration to the lips. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts moisture, making it perfect for plumping and defining lips while keeping them soft.
💉 How do they work?
The filler is injected into the lips to enhance volume, improve symmetry, and refine lip shape.
Results are immediate, with full effects visible after 7–14 days.
Over time, the filler gradually dissolves as the body metabolizes hyaluronic acid.
At Glow By Dr. Zahrah, we tailor each treatment to your facial structure, ensuring the most natural, beautiful results.
What Can Lip Fillers Enhance?
Lip fillers can do more than just add volume! They can also:
✅ Define the lip border (ideal for those with fading lip lines)
✅ Improve lip symmetry (great for uneven lips)
✅ Smooth fine lines around the mouth
✅ Restore volume loss (perfect for aging lips that have lost fullness)
✅ Enhance the cupid’s bow (for a sharper, more youthful lip shape)
Whether you want a subtle enhancement or a fuller, plumper pout, we can customize the treatment to match your goals.
How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?
The longevity of lip fillers depends on the type of filler used, individual metabolism, and lifestyle factors.
💋 On average, lip fillers last between 6–12 months.
Factors that affect how long they last:
✔ Metabolism – Faster metabolisms break down filler quicker.
✔ Filler Type – Thicker fillers last longer than softer, more flexible fillers.
✔ Lifestyle – Frequent exercise, sun exposure, and smoking can break down fillers faster.
To maintain long-lasting results, we recommend regular top-ups every 6–9 months.
