The process of aging can cause your lips to appear thinner over time. A lip enhancement cosmetic procedure can help give you fuller, plumper lips. So, if you are bothered by the appearance of your thinned or asymmetrical lips, these cosmetic treatments can help you address your concerns and give you more confidence in your smile. Specific changes made through lip enhancement include:

Restoring volume to thin or aging lips
Smoothing vertical lip lines
Improving symmetry between the upper and lower lip
Refining the shape of thin or flattened lips

Lip Filler at Clarity Medical Spa in San Jose, CA

Lip filler is a safe and effective non-surgical option for enhancing lips for a fuller, more youthful appearance. Whether you want to restore lost volume due to aging or refine the shape of your lips, Clarity Medical Spa offers expert care and beautiful, natural-looking results.

Why Choose Lip Filler?

Lip filler is a specialized dermal filler formulated for lip enhancement. Made from a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid (HA) naturally occurring in the body, this treatment is safe, well-tolerated, and provides subtle yet noticeable improvements with minimal risk.

The benefits of lip filler include:

Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles around the lips
Enhancing volume and definition
Improving overall facial symmetry
Stimulating collagen production for long-term skin health
Gradual and natural-looking results tailored to your aesthetic goals

Our team works closely with each patient to create a customized treatment plan that aligns with their unique facial features and desired outcomes.

How to Prepare for Your Lip Filler Treatment

Before your appointment, you will receive detailed pre- and post-care instructions. Here are a few key guidelines to follow:

Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (unless otherwise directed by your doctor)
Refrain from consuming alcohol at least 24 hours before and after treatment to minimize bruising
Stay hydrated and ensure your lips are well-moisturized leading up to your appointment

What to Expect During Treatment

Your comfort is our priority. Many lip fillers, such as Juvéderm, contain lidocaine to ease discomfort. Additionally, a topical numbing cream can be applied for added relief. Most patients experience only mild pressure during the injection process.

The procedure takes about 30 minutes, and you can resume your daily activities immediately afterward. No downtime is required, making this a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

Possible Side Effects

Lip filler injections are generally well-tolerated. However, minor side effects such as swelling, bruising, redness, and slight tenderness may occur. These typically resolve within a few days. Our team will provide post-treatment care tips to ensure a smooth recovery.

When Will You See the Results?

You’ll notice an immediate enhancement in lip volume, but the full results develop over the next two to four weeks as the filler settles into the tissue. We recommend avoiding straws, facial massages, and exfoliating treatments for the first 24 to 48 hours to maintain optimal results.

How Long Do Results Last?

The longevity of your results depends on factors like metabolism and the specific product used. On average, lip filler results last between six and twelve months. A follow-up appointment can help assess whether a touch-up is needed to maintain your ideal look.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Lip filler is an excellent option for adults looking to enhance their lips. You may be an ideal candidate if you:

Are in good overall health
Are a non-smoker
Have realistic expectations about results
Want to enhance or restore lip volume

Individuals who are pregnant, nursing, or have certain medical conditions (such as uncontrolled diabetes) should consult their healthcare provider before proceeding with treatment.
