Full, Shapely Lips
What is lip filler?
Lip filler treatments use moisture-attracting hyaluronic acid injectables to add volume, shape, and definition to your lips.
We work with high-quality injectables like Juvederm and Restylane, which are renowned for their natural feel and long-lasting results. Our approach is always personalized, allowing you to choose from subtle enhancement to a more pronounced pout, all with the goal of a harmonious enhancement that elevates your one-of-a-kind beauty.
Precision Techniques for a Harmonious Result
What is the lip filler procedure like?
During your initial consultation, your Iconique injector will help you design a treatment that meets your specific goals for enhancing your features. During the treatment, they will cleanse the treatment area and apply a lidocaine injection, which numbs the lips completely for about 30-40 mins. Using a fine needle, the filler is carefully injected using Iconique's lip technique to enhance volume, lift the shape, and improve the symmetry of your lips. The entire process takes about 60 minutes, and you can see the results almost immediately.
