What is the best filler for my lips?

This and injection technique is what your providers at WDC are for. We have a number of providers who are extremely experienced in knowing what products look and feel the best in our specific problem areas of our face.
On today’s blog we’re going to focus mainly on the lip fillers. In this particular treatment area, all of the fillers are known as hyaluronic acid fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps provide fullness and elasticity.
