Before and Afters: Lip Filler

Imagine enhancing your natural beauty with more hydrated, more defined lips that make you feel confident. Lip filler is a quick and effective way to shape and add volume, giving you that effortless, natural look you’ve been dreaming of. At Self Skin Studio in Wilmington, NC, we’re all about customizing treatments to you, bringing out the best version of your lips. Let’s walk you through everything you need to know about lip fillers, why we adore creating natural results, and how you can take the next step to fuller, softer lips.


1. What is lip filler?

For lips, we use a smooth, gel-like product made with hyaluronic acid, a substance your body already produces to keep your skin hydrated and plump. When artfully placed, they can add that extra bit of hydration, define lip edges, and enhance the shape—without looking obvious or overdone.


Here’s How It Works:

Our Aesthetic Provider uses a fine needle to place the filler into specific areas of the lips. The entire process is quick, usually wrapping up in under an hour. We start with two numbing techniques to make sure you’re comfortable throughout the treatment. And here’s the best part: you’ll see results right away and your lips will settle in over the next two weeks.


How Long Will Your Results Last?

The longevity of lip fillers varies but typically ranges from 6 to 12 months, depending on the product and individual metabolism. What’s great is that touch-ups can easily be scheduled to maintain your enhanced look over time. The fillers integrate smoothly with your tissue, so as they naturally fade, your lips continue to look and feel soft.


2. Why We Love Natural-Looking Results

Natural beauty is our philosophy. We believe that lip filler should be about enhancing your unique features, not changing them. At Self Skin Studio, we’ve perfected the art of creating lips that look like *you*, just a little more hydrated. Here’s why our approach to natural-looking lip filler is a favorite among our patients:

Soft Enhancements

There’s a common misconception that lip fillers automatically mean dramatically overdone lips. That couldn’t be further from the truth. When applied thoughtfully, lip fillers can give you that subtle fullness that doesn’t scream "I had work done." It's all about making the most of what you naturally have, whether it’s adding a touch of volume or defining the lip line.


Customized to You

Every face is different, which means every lip filler treatment should be customized. We take the time to understand your aesthetic goals and tailor the process to suit your features. Whether you want just a hint of extra hydration or a more noticeable definition, we’ll create a look that feels like *you*, only better.


Fast, No Fuss

Lip fillers have minimal downtime. You might experience swelling or bruising for the first few days but over the next two weeks your lips will settle into their final, beautiful shape.
