Whether your lips have grown thinner as you’ve got older, or perhaps you’d like to try a new look and give your confidence a boost, lip enhancement or shaping is an effective treatment providing long-lasting, natural results.
As we age, lips often lose some volume and can start to look a little thinner, they can also flatten and lose their shape. Even in non-smokers, little ‘bar code’ or lipstick lines on the upper lip can appear, particularly if you’re expressive!
Lip fillers can increase the volume of your lips, as well as alter their shape to give you more definition, restore lost volume and add balance and symmetry.
How it works
Lips which are naturally small or uneven can be enhanced or plumped out with hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, giving a natural shape to the cupid’s bow and turning the corners of the mouth upwards. This gives a happier look and creates a perfect natural shape.
If you are more interested in lip hydration and definition, we can very successfully treat this by using Belotero and Revanesse®. These fillers are lovely gentle products which can be used to give your lips definition, and not volume, so you regain the natural shape of your lips without risking a ‘trout pout’. This is one of the most popular uses of dermal filler today.
All our dermal fillers contain lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, so the procedure is virtually pain-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any side-effects?
Juvéderm® ULTRA is unsuitable for patients who are allergic to anaesthetic or Hyaluronic Acid. Rarely, a transient numbness or tenderness may develop in the treated area. Mild bruising may occur. If you are prone to cold sores at the injection site, treatment may bring out another eruption. Finally, any injection carries a small risk of infection. If you are pregnant or breast feeding the treatment is not recommended. A consent form outlining, in detail, all of the possible risks and benefits is read carefully and signed by all clients before any treatment is given.
Do the injections hurt?
Juvéderm® ULTRA contains the anaesthetic lidocaine. The addition of anaesthetic provides a gentle, pain-free injection experience that allows you to really ‘feel the difference’. We also add a topical local anaesthetic cream, so the procedure is virtually pain free.
How long does it last?
The results should last between 6 and 12 months and sometimes even longer!
Who is the best person to do the treatment?
Always make sure that your practitioner is medically or nursing qualified, and has as much experience as possible with the product being used.

Will my lips feel natural?
Yes! We only use FDA, market-leader products such as Revanesse and Belotero to produce a very smooth, soft and natural result which is very long lasting. The filler takes on the normal consistency and feel of your skin, leaving your lips looking completely natural.
