As we age, our bodies break down collagen faster, and we build collagen at a slower rate; this decrease in collagen is why we start to see a change in our cheeks, under the eyes, or around the mouth and jawline. Using a filler, we can replace that volume, and create a more youthful look naturally.
During your consultation, we look at you, look for where the volume is lost, and find the best method and type of filler to replace that volume. This approach keeps your results very natural looking.
Your lips are also an excellent place for filler, and we pride ourselves in taking a conservative approach and keeping your lips proportionate to your face. Adding volume or tweaking the shape of your lips is great, but we want to make sure they look like they belong with the rest of your features.
Incredible advances have been made in the field of aesthetics, and there are many different kinds of dermal fillers. The fillers available at RAW Aesthetics and Wellness are made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies. These fillers last on average anywhere from 9 months to 2 years. , and they are very safe and FDA approved.
We choose the filler to use based on the area being injected and your body. The most common places fillers are used include the lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, and scars. Fillers beautifully and naturally add contour and shape of your face and replaces the volume that has been lost.
Lips are usually done with up to 1 syringe per appointment. We find it best to build the shape and volume to the desired results slowly. Filler done in multiple appointments help to maintain a natural shape and avoid the unnatural or “sausage” look.
We always take a conservative approach for a natural-looking lip.
