Do you want your lips were a little more voluminous? Would you like a larger a pout? Reduce lip wrinkles (‘smoker’s lines’) and even ‘lipstick bleeding’?

Over time, loss of the lip fullness occurs and replacing the lost volume can lead to more youthful lips. Lip enhancement involves plumping to add more volume, removing the fine lines around the mouth and returning lost definition around the lip border. The goal is to improve your lips so that they can appear considerably more natural.

What exactly is involved?
The treatment is non-surgical and involves a dermal filler being administered using a few injections by a fully trained medical expert. The treatment includes injecting dermal fillers into areas of the lip as well as the surrounding lip areas to enhance, shape, or add more volume to the lips as well as smoothing the lines and creases around the mouth areas.

There are lots of types of dermal fillers that can be administered, therefore the effects can be temporary or permanent depending on the kind of dermal filler injections utilised. Each one of these have their own pros and cons. What type you decide upon depends on both you and your particular wants and needs.

So as to reduce discomfort, a topical or local anaesthetic can be applied.

So what is recovery time needed?
Minimal rest time is needed when using these treatments. The majority of people go back to their daily activities right after the treatment. Effects usually last for a minimum six months.

Are there any kind of side effects?
Side effects are in general short-term and are usually only related to the particular injection area – the majority of which should only last three days or less. These can include redness, brusing, swelling, some discomfort, firmness, itching or discolouration.
