Info: Lip Filler Treatment

Lots of us have thought about enhancing our lips one way or another. The only problem is social media is plagued with images of massive ‘fake’ lips, mostly the result of lip filler treatments performed by less skilled injectors, when all we want is something natural. Most of us want better definition, enhanced volume, better hydration or better balance between the lips, all with a natural looking shape. Believe it or not, lip filler can be subtle and is often a process that requires small amounts of filler added slowly over time until the desired results are achieved. This way the results look natural and last longer but most importantly, the risk of complications is dramatically reduced this way.

Our motto is clear- if you can obviously tell that someone has had filler in their lips, then it’s not a good result!

What is Lip Filler and how does it work?

Lips can often lose volume over time because of the effects of ageing but some people are just born with smaller, deflated, asymmetrical or unshaped lips. Lip filler, when applied carefully and in small amounts, can significantly improve the appearance of one’s lips in a way that doesn’t attract the wrong kind of attention. 

Dermal filler is effectively a gel made of cross-linked hyaluronic acid (which is contained naturally within the skin itself) which gives it the ability to provide structural enhancements, such as subtle volume restoration or shaping of the lips. Because hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the skin, the filler usually integrates really well into the skin and can lead to enhancements that look natural but impactful.

It’s important that the treatment is applied conservatively to ensure that just the right amount is used to prevent over-filling, migration and lumps. This is why the treatment should be conducted by an experienced clinician who knows exactly what they are doing and can tailor the treatment to your specific needs and goals.
