Lips: Hidrate, enlarge and correct the gingival smile

The lip enlargement is a classic treatment in the practise of aesthetic medicine. Through a series of mini injections of hialuronic acid, a natural component in our body, improves the shape of the lips, giving the desired volume.

We can treat the upper lip, the lower lip or both, in the same treatment, with the tastes and preferences of the patient, determins how to choose the volume to be injected.

There is another way to treat the lips, which consists in, not giving more volume, but to enhance the juiciness, the hidration. Its a very discreet way to improve the lips, but very satisfactory, without giving volume, they become younger, juicier. Today many patients ask for this: recuperate this aspect but without attracting attention.

At the same time, there is another option that consists in eliminating the wrinkles above the upper lip, also coloquially called, bar code. Consult Dra Arpino for all of the options available to improve the area of the lips.
