Lip Fillers

Treatment Overview

Lip fillers are a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the volume, shape, and definition of your lips. Using hyaluronic acid-based fillers, this procedure can provide natural-looking results that enhance your overall facial aesthetics. Whether you’re looking to restore lost volume due to aging or simply desire fuller lips, lip fillers offer a customisable solution to meet your needs.

Treatment Information

Consultation Process

During the consultation, your practitioner will discuss your desired outcome, concerns, and expectations. The practitioner will evaluate your facial features, lip structure, and overall health to determine the appropriate treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This personalised plan ensures you achieve your desired results safely and effectively

Treatment Procedure

The lip filler procedure begins with a facial assessment and mapping, where the practitioner evaluates your facial appearance and marks the appropriate injection sites. Next, these sites are thoroughly cleansed, and a local anaesthetic is applied to minimise discomfort during the treatment. The practitioner then carefully injects small amounts of the filler into specific areas of the lips, constantly assessing to ensure a natural-looking result. After the injections, the treated area may be gently massaged to distribute the filler evenly, and adjustments can be made if necessary. Finally, any markings are cleansed off, and you may be offered an ice pack to help reduce swelling.

Target Areas

Lip fillers can enhance multiple areas of the lips for a balanced, attractive look. They can increase volume in both upper and lower lips, define the Cupid's bow, improve the lip outline (vermilion border), and enhance the vertical lines from nose to upper lip (philtrum columns).
