Lip Enhancement

We are not all blessed with the perfect plump and shapely lips we would like, and dermal fillers may be a suitable treatment to either replace lost volume and/or shape, give you fuller, plumper, more hydrated lips, or to help minimise upper/lower lip lines that occur as we age.

At the Perfect Skin Clinic, we are conservative in the initial approach/treatment to achieve that subtle, enviable ‘natural’ look that can also be built on if desired in more than one appointment. We do not offer unnatural, fake, or exaggerated looking lips.

What is most important is that your lips are suitable for the shape of your face and the surrounding areas of the lips. Therefore, the shape or size that you want may not necessarily suit your face. It may be that areas around your lips and mouth may also need to be treated as well to achieve good compatibility.

There are a number of aspects to getting the correct lips for you and this would all be discussed at your consultation appointment.

Lip treatments cover two areas – lip enhancement (volume) and lip or peri-oral rejuvenation (lipstick bleed lines and droopy corners) whatever the treatment, more than one type of treatment and treatment appointments may be needed to get the desired result for your bespoke lips.

Dermal fillers contain Hyaluronic acid (HA) which is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies. These products are combined with lidocaine to minimise any discomfort during the procedure and an aesthetic cream prior to treatment is used, but generally pain is minimal.

After treatment you will see an immediate result, however, it will not be your final result. Optimum results are seen after a few weeks as the product retains water to rejuvenate and add volume.

Initially, it is normal to be able to feel the product in the lips, but this should settle down over the next few weeks. 

Lips can be subject to more swelling and bruising than other areas which is quite normal and can vary from patient to patient, which is one of the reasons we are conservative in our initial approach. Any swelling or bruising generally lasts 2-3 days or can be longer.
