Before-and-after photos help you choose a lip filler style that fits your features—whether your goal is a hydrated “your lips but better” refresh, a cleaner vermilion border, or a smoother side profile. They also set realistic expectations for swelling in the first few days and refinement as the filler settles. During your consultation, we’ll map your lip shape and movement and discuss how much change is realistic with a half or full syringe. Curious about a more structured look?

Lip Filler Treatment Summary and Care

This quick summary answers the most common questions we hear about lip filler injections: how pricing works, how long the appointment takes, what results to expect, and how to protect your outcome afterward. Every treatment is individualized—some clients want a half‑syringe refresh, while others prefer a staged approach over multiple visits for the most natural look. If you’re new to injectables, starting smaller is usually the safest choice. You’ll get a clear plan and consent discussion before any product is placed.

Cost & Pricing

Choose 0.5 mL for a soft refresh or 1.0 mL for fuller definition. We confirm syringes, product choice, and total cost in writing before we start, so you can budget confidently. Financing may be available—ask us.

What To Expect

Plan about 30–45 minutes. We numb, assess symmetry, and place tiny amounts of hyaluronic acid filler to sculpt shape. You’ll see immediate change, with final settling over 3–14 days.

Mechanism of Action

Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler is a smooth gel that attracts water for supple volume. Strategic micro‑placements can refine the Cupid’s bow, vermilion border, and side profile while staying natural.

Benefits & Results

Enhance volume, define the border, improve symmetry, and soften vertical lip lines. Results are visible right away, then refine as swelling settles. Many clients book a 2‑week check-in for tweaks.

Post-Treatment Care

Use cool compresses, keep the area clean, and avoid heat, alcohol, heavy workouts, kissing, and straws for 24–48 hours. Sleep slightly elevated and stay well‑hydrated to support recovery.

Side Effects & Downtime

Expect swelling, tenderness, and possible bruising for 2–7 days. Small firmness or bumps can occur while the filler integrates. Rare risks exist; we review warning signs and how to reach us fast.

Lip Filler Pricing and Value Guide

Lip filler cost depends on how much product you need to reach your goal—often 0.5 mL for a “your lips but better” refresh or 1.0 mL for fuller definition. We confirm the exact product and total quote in writing before treatment so you can budget confidently. The estimates below reflect common plans in our Edmonton clinic. Lip fillers are cosmetic and aren’t usually covered by insurance.

Lip Filler Treatment Goals & Pricing (Per Session)
Treatment goal Typical amount Estimated cost (CAD)
Subtle hydration + border definition 0.5 mL (half syringe) $300
Classic lip enhancement (balanced volume + shape) 1.0 mL (full syringe) $550
More structure or staged build (as needed) 1.0–2.0 mL (often staged) $550–$1,050
Additional product (if needed during the visit) +1.0 mL per additional syringe +$500

Estimates only. Final pricing can vary based on anatomy, product selection, and treatment goals. Your exact quote is confirmed during consultation before treatment begins.

How Lip Fillers Work for Balance

Not all lips need “more volume.” In many cases, the best result comes from restoring structure: defining the Cupid’s bow, smoothing the border, supporting the corners, and adding hydration so the lips look softer in motion. Hyaluronic acid filler is a smooth gel that holds water, which is why lip fillers can improve both shape and suppleness. Our injectors place small amounts strategically and build gradually—because too much product too quickly can look heavy, distort natural proportions, or increase the chance of lumps and migration.

Sometimes your upper lip rolls inward or “disappears” on a big smile. In that case, adding filler alone may not be the most efficient fix. A small-dose Botox lip flip in Edmonton relaxes specific muscle fibers so the upper lip everts slightly, showing more vermilion without adding much volume. Many clients choose a combined approach: conservative filler for shape and hydration, plus a subtle lip flip for better upper‑lip show. We’ll recommend the safest route based on your anatomy and goals.

If your main concern is “smoker’s lines” (vertical wrinkles around the mouth) or lipstick bleeding, filler placed only in the lips may not fully address the skin texture component. Targeted lip line treatments in Edmonton can combine micro‑filler support with neuromodulators or collagen‑stimulating options, creating a smoother upper‑lip area while keeping lip size natural. We can stage treatments so you get predictable improvement with minimal downtime. This is often the best path when you want refinement rather than obvious volume.

For clients who prefer a non‑injectable approach—or want to support lip texture between filler appointments—laser lip plumping in Edmonton stimulates collagen for a naturally fresher look. It won’t replace the structural change you can get with HA gel, but it can be a great add‑on for dryness, crepey texture, and subtle definition. Most people do a short series, then maintenance as needed. We’ll explain what to expect and whether it fits your skin type.

What we assess before treating:

  • Your natural lip shape, symmetry, and proportion to the rest of your face
  • How your lips move at rest, on speech, and on a full smile
  • Border definition, hydration, and any vertical lip lines
  • Previous filler history (if any) and your desired level of change
  • Medical history considerations and event timing (photos, weddings, travel)
Lip Enhancement Options
Option Best for
Lip fillers (HA gel) Shape, definition, hydration, and volume at rest
Botox lip flip More upper-lip show on smile; subtle border refinement
Laser lip plumping Texture support, collagen stimulation, subtle refresh

Lip Filler FAQs and Safety Answers

Most clients enjoy their lip filler results for several months. How long you keep volume depends on the product used, how much is placed, your metabolism, and habits like frequent lip movement or high heat exposure. Because we aim for natural movement, many clients choose a conservative refresh when they notice softening rather than waiting for a full “disappearance.” Your injector will recommend a maintenance timeline that fits your goals and budget.
Many first-time clients start with 0.5 mL to improve hydration and define the border without dramatic change. If you want more visible volume at rest, 1.0 mL is a common starting point. For larger changes or significant asymmetry, the most natural outcome often comes from staging product over two visits (with time for swelling to settle). We’ll guide you based on your starting anatomy and how much “new lip” you want to see.
Discomfort is usually mild to moderate and brief. We typically use topical numbing and can discuss additional comfort options depending on sensitivity. Many modern HA fillers also contain lidocaine, which helps as the treatment progresses. You may feel pressure or quick pinches, especially along the border where definition is created. Afterward, tenderness is normal for a few days; cool compresses and avoiding pressure on the lips can help.
For the first 24–48 hours, avoid heavy workouts, saunas/steam rooms, alcohol, and anything that adds pressure to the lips (strenuous kissing, straws, or aggressive lip scrubs). Sleep with your head slightly elevated the first night to reduce swelling. Keep the area clean and avoid touching or massaging unless your injector specifically instructs you to. If you’re prone to cold sores, tell us during your consult so we can plan appropriately.
Most lip fillers are hyaluronic acid–based, which means they can often be adjusted or dissolved with hyaluronidase when clinically appropriate. This is one reason HA fillers are widely used for lips—there’s a safety “off switch” if refinement is needed. That said, dissolving is still a medical decision and not something done casually; the goal is to plan carefully so you love the result without needing reversal.
Be cautious with “needle‑free filler” devices (often marketed as hyaluron pens). Health Canada has warned that these devices are not authorized for cosmetic dermal filler use in Canada and may pose health risks. Because the product is forced into tissue under pressure, there’s limited control over depth and placement—raising concerns about infection, lumps, and vascular injury. For safety, choose treatments performed by trained medical professionals using approved products.

Related Edmonton Services to Complement Your Lip Fillers

Botox Lip Flip

If you want a subtle enhancement with more upper‑lip “show” when you smile (without adding much volume), a Botox lip flip in Edmonton can pair beautifully with conservative lip filler. It relaxes specific muscle fibres around the lip to refine the border and reduce inward rolling, helping your filler look smoother and more balanced.

Lip Line Treatments

If your main concern is “smoker lines” or fine vertical wrinkles around the mouth, targeted lip line treatments in Edmonton can address the skin texture component that filler alone may not fully correct. Many clients get the best outcome by combining careful lip shaping with a plan that also smooths the perioral area for a more youthful, polished finish.

Laser Lip Plumping

For clients who prefer a non‑injectable option—or want to improve lip texture and hydration support between filler visits—laser lip plumping in Edmonton is a great add‑on. This treatment focuses on stimulating collagen for a naturally fresher lip appearance and can be combined in a staged plan alongside injectable enhancement for a more complete result.
