Lip fillers, otherwise known as lip augmentation or lip enhancements, use a hyaluronic-acid based gel filler to add volume and shape to the lips. The most popular filler used today in clinics is Restylane which has been considered the "gold standard" for lip enhancement procedures.

Some of the benefits of using Restylane include:

- fine lines and wrinkles are softened

- restores fullness to ageing lips

- corrects asymmetry or unevenness in size or shape

Take advantage of fast, easy and painless procedures

Lip fillers only need 20 minutes to manage and when we use ultra-smooth needles along with anaesthesia, you will not feel pain. You may experience sensations such as PinPrick for several hours after treatment but no acute pain associated with this treatment.

Results that look natural

Unlike cosmetic surgery, lip fillers increase your natural features as opposed to making results that change your make-up features. The lip filler returns your lips to younger aesthetics, highlighting contours and outlines.

Non-synthetic fillers

The lip filler consists of hyaluronic acid which is actually already in the human body. When you are young, your skin has hyaluronic acid in abundance and this is responsible for your skin looking wrinkle and full volume. As we get older, the amount runs out, causing a line and deep fold, so that in refilling the level of hyaluronic acid on your skin, you will be left with your younger skin version.

How long do the results last?

The results of lip filler treatments can last as long as six months or longer with regular touch ups. The amount of time the filler lasts depends on your skin's natural renewal process and how you take care of your lips after treatment. Our protocols for post procedure include: no lipstick, smoking, sun exposure, strenuous exercise.

All of these benefits will give you an improved appearance and most importantly allow you look and feel more confident. 

What are the benefits of lip filler courses?

By taking a lip filler course, you will learn the correct technique for injecting hyaluronic acid fillers into the lips. A course teaches you how to recognize which patients would benefit most from lip enhancement and what results they should expect.

You also find out where to inject the filler  and how to avoid common problems like bruising, swollen lips or asymmetry. 

Courses usually consist of six hours of theory teaching about anatomy, physiology & pathology; along with practical hands-on training in treating live models 

Before undergoing any kind of procedure, make sure your clinician is qualified and experienced. Always do thorough research before booking your lip filler procedure.

When choosing a clinic or surgeon, make sure they are qualified to perform this type of procedure and are fully-insured. A good way of finding out is by checking with the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) who has a list of all registered practitioners on their website. 

How Fast You See the results?

The lip filler treatment will work immediately. There is no need to wait for a few days or several weeks before you see results, so you must be careful of where you get your lip injections done.

Are You A Good Candidate?

For optimal results from the lip augmentation treatment, you should have healthy and well-shaped lips at the start of the process. The procedure will not help you achieve voluptuous lips that appear bigger than what they actually are. In addition, if your lips lack fullness or length then there is a chance that these features may not be completely corrected with this sort of treatment alone. However, even in cases like these where full correction is not possible, lip enhancement can still give your smile an improved appearance.

Lip filler treatment is a safe, effective and affordable way to improve the natural shape of your lips. With lip augmentation you can enhance the volume and definition of your lips for a fuller appearance.
