Lip Augmentation

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar chain molecule found in all skin and soft tissues throughout the body, identical across species. It attracts and binds water in the skin, providing volume and hydration, but also ‘cushioning’ and supporting collagen and elastin fibres and providing a medium, or carrier, for chemical messages between the cells.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are a clear sterile gel in a syringe for injection into the skin providing instant correction.

Dermal fillers are manufactured, usually through fermentation and cross linking with proteins to produce a clear, sterile gel for injection into the skin. In the UK, there are over 160 brands on the market due in some part to weak regulation.

Not all hyaluronic acids are the same and legitimate brands are NOT available for general sale on the internet and should only be administered by trained clinicians.  Each brand has a range of ‘tissue tailored’ products designed for specific results. One size does not fit all.

​

Hyaluronic acid filler can be used to restore volume loss in the lips as well as sculpting the defining characteristics of the lips such as cupid's bow, vermillion border and philtrim.  A combination of advanced injection techniques can be used to create desired results.

​

Hyaluronic acid injected into the lips normally lasts between 6-9 months however this varies between patients.  

​

Topical anaesthetic cream can be applied prior to treatment if required for comfort.

​

Following treatment, you should expect some swelling, tenderness and possible bruising but these should resolve in up to 2 weeks.  Other uncommon side effects will be discussed during your consultation.
