Tina's Journey: Tina started working with lip fillers in 2020, becoming more trained and educated in 2021. She has been passionate about enhancing lips ever since.
Benefits of Lip Filler: Lip fillers boost self-esteem and provide an immediate, rejuvenating effect, giving a fuller, youthful appearance. They enhance confidence and satisfaction with one’s look.
Ideal Candidates: Almost anyone with realistic expectations can be a candidate for lip fillers, provided they have good anatomical structures to support the augmentation. Key areas to check include cheek support and the preauricular area.

Product Choice: Choosing the right product depends on the client's anatomy and desired outcome. Tina uses different products based on the lip structure and the effect needed, ranging from robust fillers for more definition to softer fillers for hydration and subtle enhancement.
Techniques: There are various techniques, including vertical injection stretches and the newer 7-point technique, which minimize injection points and provide natural-looking results.
