Lip Fillers
Subtle. Natural. Beautifully yours.
Lip fillers at Radiance Wellness enhance your natural lip shape with precise, conservative technique. Results look like you, only better.
Full, well-defined lips are one of the most expressive features of the face. Over time, lips naturally lose volume, definition, and symmetry. Lip filler can restore what has changed or gently enhance what has always been there.
At Radiance Wellness, we take a conservative, anatomy-first approach to lip enhancement. Our philosophy is simple: no one should be able to tell you have had filler. Your lips should look natural, balanced, and unmistakably yours.
We use JUVÉDERM®, a trusted hyaluronic acid filler brand, specifically selecting Volbella® and Vollure® from the JUVÉDERM portfolio for lip treatments. These formulas are designed for soft, natural-looking results that move with your expressions.
Located in the Bankers Hill area of San Diego, just next to Hillcrest, Radiance Wellness offers lip filler treatments tailored to your anatomy, your goals, and your lifestyle.

What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are injectable treatments that add volume, definition, and shape to the lips. Most lip fillers use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and holds moisture. This makes them safe, reversible, and well-tolerated by most skin types.
At Radiance Wellness, we use JUVÉDERM Volbella and JUVÉDERM Vollure for lip treatments. Volbella is ideal for softly defining the lip border and adding subtle volume. Vollure offers a slightly firmer structure for clients seeking more definition or addressing moderate volume loss.
Both products are part of the JUVÉDERM portfolio by Allergan, one of the most clinically studied filler brands available.
Research supports the safety and effectiveness of hyaluronic acid lip fillers. A 2016 clinical study published in Dermatologic Surgery found that JUVÉDERM Volbella XC provided durable lip enhancement with high patient satisfaction at 12 months.

What to Expect During Your Lip Filler Treatment
Your lip filler journey begins with a personalized consultation. Our providers will assess your lip anatomy, listen to your goals, and recommend the right product and amount for your individual needs.
Before your appointment, we recommend avoiding blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and alcohol for at least 48 hours. This helps reduce the chance of bruising.
During the Treatment
A topical numbing cream is applied before your treatment to keep you comfortable. Your provider will then carefully inject filler using a refined technique designed to respect your lip anatomy and deliver precise, even results.
Treatments typically take 30 to 45 minutes, including consultation time. Most clients feel only mild pressure or a slight pinch during the injections.
Lip Filler Aftercare and Results
To support healing, avoid intense exercise, excessive heat (saunas, steam rooms), and makeup on the treatment area for at least 24 hours.
Results from JUVÉDERM Volbella typically last 12 months or longer. Results from Vollure can last up to 18 months for some patients. Touch-up appointments help maintain your results over time.
I’ve been coming to Radiance for over a year now, before then I was always trying out new injector places trying to find the right one. I don’t see myself ever going anywhere else. I walk in knowing confidently they are going to do a fantastic job. Megan is wonderful and so knowledgeable. The staff is so wonderful here! Plus it’s so cute and clean inside… and always smells nice! :) I’d highly recommend!

What Our Patients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
Is lip filler painful?
Discomfort is minimal. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and the JUVÉDERM products we use contain lidocaine to further reduce sensation during injection. Most clients describe the experience as very tolerable.
When will I see results?
You will see volume immediately after treatment. However, the final result appears after swelling resolves, typically within one to two weeks. At that point, lips look natural, soft, and settled.
Can lip filler be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Lip filler pairs well with several treatments we offer at Radiance Wellness. Facial Balancing with Filler restores symmetry and harmony across the whole face. BOTOX® and neurotoxins address dynamic lines around the mouth and eyes. SKINVIVE™ boosts overall skin hydration and texture. For skin tone and brightness, MOXI or BBL HEROic round out a complete rejuvenation plan. Our team will recommend the right combination and sequence for your goals.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients achieve their desired result in a single appointment. For clients new to lip filler, we often recommend starting conservatively and scheduling a follow-up at two weeks to assess the final result. Additional product can be added if desired.

How much does lip filler cost?
Pricing depends on the product and amount used in your personalized treatment plan. For the most current pricing, visit our Service Menu or schedule a consultation at Radiance Wellness.
How long do results last?
Results vary by product and individual. JUVÉDERM Volbella typically lasts around 12 months. Vollure can last up to 18 months for some patients. Factors like metabolism, lip movement, and sun exposure can affect longevity. Touch-up appointments help maintain your look over time.
Is lip filler safe for all skin types?
JUVÉDERM hyaluronic acid fillers are well-suited for most adults in good health. During your consultation, our providers will review your medical history and confirm you are a good candidate for treatment.
Can lip filler be reversed?
Yes. JUVÉDERM is a hyaluronic acid filler, which means it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you are unhappy with your results. This is one of the reasons hyaluronic acid fillers are considered a low-risk starting point for anyone new to injectables.
