Botox & Injectables

Lip filler is one of the most popular injectable treatments, and the results can range from subtle enhancement to dramatic volume depending on your goals. At Rani Beauty Clinic, we specialize in natural-looking lip augmentation that enhances your natural lip shape.

We use hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers for lips, which are the safest and most versatile option. HA fillers can be precisely placed to add volume, define the lip border, smooth vertical lip lines, and correct asymmetry. Popular options include Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Volbella, and Restylane Kysse, each with different properties suited to specific goals.

Your lip filler appointment takes about 30 minutes. We apply topical numbing cream before treatment, and the filler itself contains lidocaine for additional comfort. Mild swelling is normal for 2-3 days, with final results visible at about two weeks. Results typically last 6-9 months.

A key advantage of HA lip fillers is reversibility. If you are unhappy with any aspect of your results, the filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. This safety net makes HA fillers the gold standard for lip augmentation.
