Introduction
how lip filler works
Lip filler is an injectable treatment using hyaluronic acid (HA) gel to add volume, improve symmetry, and enhance definition in the lips.
Results are visible immediately, with healed results at 2 weeks, and can last 6-12 months.
A full syringe starts at $700 and a half syringe (mini lip) is $450.
hyaluronic acid lip filler can be dissolved if needed.
At The Dose Collective in Boise, Idaho, lip filler is performed exclusively by Kelli Dougherty, BSN, RN.

lip filler aftercare
the swelling timeline covers the big picture. here's the practical stuff for the first 48 hours.
01
no kissing, straws, or anything that puckers your lips for 24 hours.
02
ice 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off for the first few hours. don't press hard.
03
skip alcohol, hot drinks, and spicy food for 24 hours. they increase swelling.
04
sleep on your back and slightly elevated the first night if you can.
05
don't touch, squeeze, or massage your lips. let the filler settle where kelli placed it.
06
avoid heavy exercise, saunas, and steam rooms for 48 hours.
07
arnica and bromelain can help if bruising shows up. totally optional.
