LIP FILLERS

TIME TO FOCUS ON YOU

Lip fillers are used to add or restore volume to the

lips. If your lips have lost definition over the years,

or if they’ve never had the fullness you’d like,

fillers can enhance their shape and volume and

provide more definition.

Popular with customers of all ages, the results of lip

filler injections can range from very subtle to noticeably

fuller lips, depending on the rest of your facial features

and the desired outcome. Our personalised treatment

programme will ensure that your lip fillers treatment

matches the look you’re after.

Lip fillers can last between 6-12 months depending on

lifestyle factors, and will slowly be broken down by

your body’s own natural processes.

ENHANCE HOW YOU LOOK,

CHANGE HOW YOU FEEL

Lip fillers can add volume to lips that have lost

their plumpness with age, create a more defined

border, and/or enhance the shape. You may feel

that you have a shrinking top lip when you smile

which, following lip fillers, would be fuller and

well-defined, helping you smile with confidence

without feeling as self-conscious.

Lip fillers could even be fitted into a lunch break,

because the procedure only takes between 30 and 45

minutes, and has minimal downtime or side effects.

LET’S DELVE INTO THE DETAIL

As with all medical aesthetic treatments, it’s important

to weigh up the risks involved against the benefits

that the treatment can bring. Your medical aesthetic

practitioner will talk you through all the risks and

complications of the treatment.

Side effects are usually minimal, but you may

experience redness, swelling and bruising around the

injection site.

4. AFTERCARE:

We believe that the highest quality aftercare is just

as important as the treatment itself, so we’re here

to support you. Following the procedure, we’ll give

you an aftercare information sheet, and if you have

any questions or concerns at all, you can contact our

24/7 helpline.

Depending on the type of lip filler that’s used, the

results can last from 6-12 months. The filler solution

we use is made from hyaluronic acid, which is not

permanent and will naturally be absorbed by the

body over time. To achieve the desired results, we’d

recommend building up over a period of time. In

order to maintain your lip volume and definition, your

next session can be booked between 4-6 months

after treatment.

1. TREATMENT CONSULTATION:

Now’s the time to talk to your nurse practitioner or

doctor, with absolutely no obligation to go ahead. You’ll

be able to talk to them about why you’re considering

lip filler treatment, what you hope your lips will look like

after treatment, which filler product/s may be right for

you, the likely costs and finance options, and when you’d

like to have your procedure if you’d like to go ahead, as

well as chatting through the benefits and risks. If you

feel ready to proceed, we can book your treatment in

for a date and time that suits you.

2. THE TREATMENT:

On the day of your lip filler treatment, you’ll be able

to go through any last-minute questions with your

nurse practitioner or doctor. You may want to have

numbing cream applied to your lips, although the filler

itself contains local anaesthetic, so it will depend on

your individual pain threshold. Your practitioner will

then use a very fine needle to carefully complete the

series of small injections. The treatment takes between

30 and 45 minutes and, although you may experience

some slight swelling or bruising, you’ll be able to see

the results straight away.

3. RECOVERY:

You’ll be able to leave the clinic as soon as your

treatment has been completed, and you should be

fine to go about your normal day-to-day activities.

Any swelling usually disappears within 2 days, with

the bruising taking a little longer to fade.
