Good to know
We enhance lips with a “less is more” approach—tailored to your face shape and aesthetic goals
Why Do Lips Thin Over Time?
Aging naturally causes the lips to lose volume and definition. Collagen production slows, and the vermilion border (the crisp edge of the lips) begins to blur. Genetics can also influence how full your lips are from the start.
Smoking, sun exposure, and frequent straw use may accelerate lip thinning or lead to vertical lip lines (smoker’s lines). Many guests also notice asymmetry or flattening of the Cupid’s bow with age.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will lip filler make me look overdone?
Not at Refresh. We specialize in natural enhancement—balancing shape and proportion without excess volume.
Does it hurt?
A topical numbing cream is used, and most fillers contain lidocaine for comfort. You may feel a light pinch or pressure.
How much filler will I need?
Most first-time guests start with one syringe (or less), depending on your lip size and goals. Half-syringes are available for subtle volume or hydration.
How long do the results last?
Typically 6 – 12 months, depending on product type and your body’s metabolism.
What’s a Lip Flip, and how is it different?
A Lip Flip uses a few units of Botox® to relax the muscle above the lip, causing it to roll slightly outward—great for a subtle upper lip boost without adding volume.
Will lip filler make my lips look unnatural?
Not at all—when done by experienced injectors, lip filler can enhance shape, symmetry, and volume while still looking soft and natural.
