Lip augmentation

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in skin and is the basic component enabling water retention in tissues. With the time passing, the quantity and quality of hyaluronic acid decreases what leads to skin flaccidity. Skin becomes dry, there appear delicate lines and later deep wrinkles.

The treatment of lip augmentation or lip shaping can be performed regardless of patient’s age. In case of some people, mainly young, the correction is connected to too little formed upper or lower lip. In case of older people the treatment is performed in order to correct lips contour and changes resulting from progressive aging process.
