In addition, the water retention capacity of hyaluronic acid increases skin hydration, moisturizes the lips, and gives them a more vibrant and smooth appearance.

How are lip fillers applied?

Lip fillers can be applied with needles or a cannula depending on the lip type of the patient. While fine-tipped needles are preferred for more prominent lip tips or the Russian filling technique to create Russian lips, the cannula method is used to increase the volume of the lips. If the lips are too small, a more gradual filling approach is preferred. After 

filling the lips with 1 cc filler on the first session, the patient waits for the filling to fit well. If more volume is needed, the procedure is repeated after 3 months.
