Every lip filler session at Aloha Med Spa starts with a personalized consultation to align with your aesthetic desires and natural lip anatomy. Our experts meticulously plan each treatment to enhance lip shape, volume, and symmetry tailored specifically to your facial features.
Lip filler involves the injection of hyaluronic acid-based products to enhance the volume, shape, and structure of the lips. This cosmetic procedure can correct asymmetries, add fullness, and define the lip borders for a more pronounced and attractive appearance.
Lip fillers generally last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the product used and individual metabolism rates. Periodic touch-ups are recommended to maintain the volume and definition as the body gradually absorbs the hyaluronic acid.
Lip fillers are ideal for individuals looking to enhance the natural look of their lips, increase volume, define the lip edges, or balance asymmetrical lips. They are also beneficial for those seeking to rejuvenate aging lips by restoring lost shape and smoothing out lines.

Begin with a personalized consultation where our aesthetic experts assess your natural lip structure and discuss your desired outcomes. This step ensures that the lip enhancement aligns with your overall facial features for a harmonious and natural look.
Utilize hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which are carefully injected into targeted areas of the lips to add volume, enhance shape, and improve symmetry. The procedure is quick, typically taking less than an hour, and is performed with precision to achieve the best results.
Immediately after the procedure, minor swelling or bruising may occur. Post-treatment instructions are provided to ensure optimal healing and results. Follow-up appointments are recommended to assess the outcome and plan for any necessary touch-ups to maintain your beautiful results.
If you are anxious or worried about your procedure, feel free to talk to the healthcare practitioner who will perform your procedure. Our practitioners are highly experienced and may have suggestions that will help. Ask about the addition of Pro-Nox to your appointment.
