Everyone will notice, no-one will know.

Want fuller, natural-looking lips?

Lips are an important part of facial beauty, and for many people, plumper and more defined lips come high on their wish list, giving a beautiful, youthful appearance. However as we age, our lips inevitably lose their natural volume and definition. Lip fillers are a safe, minimally invasive way to create subtle enhancements, giving you a more sensuous, luscious pout.

Lip augmentation is by far one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures, and will really boost your confidence. Adopting a personalised approach helps to create your bespoke lip shape, using safe and advanced techniques.

At DermaGlitz, we can also soften fine lines and wrinkles surrounding the mouth and correct drooping corners.

Lip volume

We can add as much or as little volume or fullness to your lips, or simply balance an irregularity. The ratio of lip volume from the upper to lower lip is a very personal decision, however the ‘Golden Ratio’ of 1:1.6 (upper : lower lip) gives a very aesthetically pleasing result.

Cupid’s bow

Not everyone wants fuller lips. Maybe you just wish for a more defined cupid’s bow to define the shape of your upper lip and add contouring.

Lip definition

A well-defined lip line accentuates your lips without changing your appearance too much. If you desire fuller more plump lips you could combine this treatment by adding volume to your upper and lower lip.

FAQ

Lip fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally-occurring sugar chain molecule found in all skin and soft tissues throughout the body. When injected into the lips, it attracts and binds to water, providing volume and hydration, hence providing your lips with a fuller appearance.

After undertaking a detailed medical and aesthetic consultation, our highly-trained doctor can fully assess your desires and expectations, to devise a treatment plan which leaves you feeling rejuvenated and more confident.

Most leading brands of dermal filler contain local anaesthetic to provide pain relief during the procedure, and we also apply a topical anaesthetic cream prior to treatment to numb the lips as they are a particularly sensitive area.

Please inform your medical consultant if you have a needle phobia, prior to your appointment.

Lip fillers are generally viewed as a safe and effective treatment method, however as with all treatments they carry a degree of risk and complications. Common side effects include, but are not limited to:

  • Pain or a stinging sensation during the injection
  • Localised bleeding, swelling, bruising or tenderness, which is more profound with lip fillers
  • Itching or numbness

Further potential side-effects and risks will be discussed during your pre-treatment consultation. All our cosmetic injections are safe, effective and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved.

The results of the treatment are immediate, however the results will be more clear after 3-5 days when the initial swelling and bruising settles, with the final results being clear after 2 weeks.

Such treatment generally lasts between 5-12 months, although this varies significantly according to the area treated and amongst individuals. The frequency of further treatments is heavily dependent on how you react to the first, but this is usually recommended every 5-12 months to maintain the volume. If you choose not to maintain the results with further treatments, your lips will return to their ‘pre-treatment state’ over time.

Suitability for this treatment will be assessed during your consultation. DermaGlitz cannot treat those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
