Enhance & Hydrate: Natural Solutions for Thin Lips
Lip shape and volume contribute to facial harmony and balance. Some individuals have naturally thin lips, while others experience volume loss over time due to reduced collagen production, sun exposure, and ageing. Lip enhancement treatments help restore fullness, improve definition, and enhance hydration, creating a naturally plump and youthful appearance.
At Karratha Medical Centre, Dr Amir Waly offers non-surgical lip augmentation using advanced hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. These treatments are designed to enhance lip contour, improve symmetry, and restore hydration while ensuring a soft, natural look. Each treatment is tailored to suit individual facial features and aesthetic preferences, creating balanced results that complement the natural shape of the lips.
How Lip Enhancement Treatments Work
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that plays a vital role in maintaining skin hydration and volume. When used in lip augmentation, hyaluronic acid-based fillers help plump and define the lips while improving overall texture and smoothness. This treatment also enhances hydration, making lips feel softer and more supple.
The procedure involves carefully placing dermal fillers into targeted areas of the lips to achieve natural volume and symmetry. The treatment is performed with precision to ensure even distribution and a balanced, proportionate outcome. Results are immediate, with full effects visible after any mild swelling subsides within a few days.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary, with results lasting between six to twelve months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the type of filler used. Regular maintenance treatments help sustain lip volume and hydration over time.
