Which products are suitable for Lip injections?
Restylane Lipp®/ Teosyal Kiss®. These products contain hyaluronic acid which is a substance which occurs naturally in your body. These products are entirely natural and are non – animal based. Hyaluronic acid lasts for approximately 6 months and after this time is slowly broken down by the body.

Restylane Lipp® is a crystal- clear form of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in lips but diminishes with age. Restylane lip replaces hyaluronic acid, thus maintaining lip fullness and definition. As the gel particle breaks down water takes its place.
