If you were born with thin lips or your lips have become thinner or started to droop because of aging, lip fillers can help you achieve fuller, more voluptuous lips. At Peel Haus, our expert injectors are pleased to perform lip augmentation for patients. We only use FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers; they are made of a sugar complex found naturally in our bodies. The fillers replenish the hyaluronic acid that has been absorbed into your body over time, helping you achieve more volume and a youthful appearance. At Peel Haus, we customize lip filler treatment for each patient. Full and natural results are typically seen instantly with just one treatment and can last from 6 to 12 months. There are many types of fillers that can be used in the lips and our expert team is here to help you determine the best solution for you.
As we age, we naturally lose collagen and fat. This leads to thinness and sagginess of the face, including the lips. Lip fillers work by replacing volume in the lips, creating a more youthful appearance. Lip fillers, also known as lip augmentation; can be divided into structure injections and volume injections. While a structure injection adds shape to the edges of the lip, a volume injection adds more size to the entire lip. At Peel Haus, we use hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to help patients achieve the full, youthful lips they desire.
Although lip fillers do not lead to permanent results, patients can see an improvement of their lips in just one session. The effects of this procedure can last up to a year.
Patients who lead busy lives can undergo lip filler without spending days recovering. Since the procedure only takes 30 to 45 minutes, patients can schedule it during their lunch break or before or after work.
We do not believe in one size fits all lip augmentation. Our providers will be in complete control over how much filler needs to be injected so patients can receive the ideal shape for them.
In addition to instant results, lip filler procedures at our facility lead to natural results. Patients can expect their lips to look plump and youthful and won’t have to worry about a fake look.
Nice lips and an attractive smile can improve a patient’s appearance and help them feel younger and more confident.
Lip fillers are typically appealing to patients who are displeased with the size and shape of their lips and hope to achieve a fuller smile. Peel Haus recommends this procedure to anyone who would like to:
A uniquely formulated hyaluronic acid filler designed specifically for the lips, offering natural-looking volume and enhanced flexibility for natural movement.
A flexible hyaluronic acid filler that helps soften laugh lines and can be used to add subtle volume and smoothness to the lips.
The good news is that you have plenty of dermal filler options if you are seeking a safe, non-surgical, minimally-invasive option for lip augmentation. At Peel Haus, our goal is to ensure you can meet all of your aesthetic needs at our office. We offer all the latest and most advanced dermal fillers, so that we can provide you with a range of options to ensure you can achieve the appearance you want.
If you need lip augmentation, here are some of your dermal filler solutions:
Lip injections at Peel Haus are performed in our DC office with minimal preparation and barely any downtime. To ensure you’re comfortable throughout the treatment, we’ll apply a numbing cream to the lip area. Then, one of our skilled injection specialists will carefully and strategically inject the filler. This entire procedure usually takes less than an hour.
Most Washington, DC area patients can return to their everyday activities right after the procedure. They won’t need any downtime. That said, the lips are a sensitive area of the face, and while our providers use advanced injection techniques to minimize bruising and swelling, you may still experience these side effects. Do not be alarmed if your lips appear bigger than you wanted at first – this is just the swelling, and it will subside within a week or two.
Any bruising or swelling will only last a few days. If you do experience some minor bruising, we recommend picking up some arnica gel or tablets to help speed healing. You can also apply makeup over any bruising to cover it up. Because of the possibility of bruising and swelling, we do not recommend having lip injections immediately before a big event. Give yourself time for healing to make sure you look your absolute best.

Anyone male or female looking for more shape, volume, and structure in their lips is the ideal candidate.
After a lip filler procedure, patients can expect immediate results. However, there may be some swelling so it’s important to wait a few days to see full results.
Just like all treatments, lip filler comes with risks. The main ones are redness and swelling at the site of the injection and mild bruising that can easily be concealed with some makeup or lipstick.
Since lip injections are made with Hyaluronic Acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body, they are completely safe.
One of the greatest benefits of lip injections is that they are completely customizable. Whether a patient is hoping for natural looking results, a very dramatic change, or anything in-between, we’ll make it happen.
Since injections are used, patients may experience slight discomfort when undergoing lip augmentation.
Since our injections do not lead to permanent results, we encourage patients to visit us for a follow-up treatment about every nine to twelve months or so or when they notice that their lips are losing fullness.
Schedule a personalized consultation with our specialists and discover the perfect treatment for you. Your best self is just one appointment away.
