A more defined lip line or fuller lips can be achieved at The Laser and Skin Clinic using hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to give you the lip line and shape you desire. HA dermal fillers are not only effective, they’re safe, non-invasive, and virtually pain-free due to the recent addition of a numbing agent to the filler product. The Laser and Skin Clinic want to give you the best natural-looking results as safely as possible.
