BEFORE AND AFTER IMAGES OF DR. TAREK'S LIP FILLER
How to ensure you get the best lip filler
Dr Tarek Shalabi has undertaken extended and advanced training in lip filler treatments and is highly experienced in this field. He is also a national trainer for cosmetic injectables and teaches lip filler techniques to doctors and nurses on a monthly basis. He uses a no pressure approach and spends time with all his patients before the procedure in order to understand their goals and objectives. He will then work together with the patient to establish a treatment plan. Dr Tarek frequently sees patients who have different goals including, subtle enhancement and hydration, to gain more symmetry, reversing the aging process by adding volume, creating a bold and seductive pout.
How does lip filler work?
Dermal filler is composed of hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring compound found in our own skin. Dr Tarek injects this at specific points and angles within the lips to create the desired effect. Different types of filler have different properties and Dr Tarek is able to select either one or a combination of products to tailor your treatment.
