Product Information

Stylage Special Lips is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler designed to increase lip volume and enhance lip borders. It’s a less-invasive alternative to lip augmentation because it offers a non-permanent therapy with the ability to be absorbed by the body over time. Stylage Special Lips is injected into and around the lip in order to change the shape or volume of the desired area.

What is STYLAGE SPECIAL LIPS?

Stylage Special Lips is an injectable hyaluronic acid-based filler specially used for lips. Combined with mannitol, a type of sugar incorporated into gel that acts as an antioxidant, it provides a long-lasting effect. This filler is used to increase lost volume and fix asymmetrical lips while providing hydration. Many patients reported rejuvenating and youthful effects lasting between 6 and 12 months.

Stylage Special Lips is made by Vivacy Laboratories' patented IPN-Like Technology. This technology combines two or more monophasic hyaluronic acid chains previously crosslinked. These hyaluronic acid chains bind to each other. This creates a long-lasting and more resistant gel that requires fewer chemical agents.

Which Stylage is best for lips?
