Lip fillers are a gel made from an injectable biodegradable substance called Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic acid is a complex polysaccharide (sugar) found naturally within our skin. Its usual function is to attract and hold lots of water, thereby giving skin hydration, suppleness and elasticity. Given the lip fillers are made from this natural skin component, they are very safe, and have very minimal risks of causing allergy. In previous times, fillers used to be made from collagen, which was animal based, so the collagen lip fillers had a significant risk of allergic reactions.

The effect of the lip fillers is seen immediately, but there may be some swelling, so the final result will be seen when the swelling subsides.
