The ageing process has an effect on our lips. With ageing, lips can become thinner. They can also lose hydration and definition, this however doesn’t have to be permanent. The lips can be enhanced, replenished and re-balanced, returning them to a more youthful state that looks both soft and natural.
To give you lips that soft, natural and hydrated appearance, we use HA dermal fillers specifically designed for the lip area that are supported by extensive clinical evidence. This includes the Restylane range of products including The Emervel Collection, Belotero and Juvederm lip ranges. We cannot give you large excessive lips if you have naturally small thin lips, however we can enhance them to provide a natural, plumped result.
With these treatments, your lips will receive the hydration, definition and softness which no high street can provide.

Lack of Lip Volume
Thinning lips are a common reality of the ageing process. Lip enhancement using Restylane’s Lyps or Restylane Kysse which are soft fillers designed specially for the mouth area help create fuller, plumper lips giving a natural, youthful look by supporting the underlying structure of your lips.
Lip definition is a lip enhancement technique using injectable fillers to create a more defined vermilion border to better outline the lip line and prevent lipstick bleeds.
Lines Around The Mouth
Women have more lines around the mouth at an earlier age than men. These perioral lines are often called smokers lines and are caused by repeated lip muscle movement, creating vertical lip lines around the mouth.
A contributing factor is that women have fewer sebaceous glands in the perioral area than men. Consequently, the skin can become dehydrated, resulting in more lines. A Skinbooster treatment will naturally rehydrate this area, resulting in a smoother mouth area.
Uneven/Dry Lips
Very few people have totally even lips. Uneven or asymmetrical lips are not going to change without a lip treatment to correct and enhance the balance.
Our lips need hydration and protection from the elements i.e. the sun and cold weather, as we have no sebaceous glands in our lips.
The Restylane Skinboosters product will naturally rehydrate your lips without giving excessive volume. This is an excellent starting point if you are anxious about a lip treatment.

Frequently Asked Question
WHAT ARE LIP FILLERS?
IN ESSENCE, THEY ARE A TREATMENT THAT MAKES YOUR LIPS FULLER BY ADDING VOLUME TO THEM. BECAUSE EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT, WE TAILOR OUR TREATMENTS TO INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS AND FACIAL PROPORTIONS. WE OFFER A WIDE RANGE OF LIGHT HYALURONIC ACID-BASED FILLERS, A SUBSTANCE THAT OCCURS NATURALLY IN THE DERMIS.
HOW DO THEY WORK?
OUR FILLERS HYDRATE AND REVITALISE THE LIP AREA, SO THEY DON’T JUST BULK THEM OUT. THIS IS BECAUSE HYALURONIC ACID (HA) CAN HOLD UP TO 1000 TIMES ITS OWN WEIGHT IN WATER – MAKING IT A FANTASTIC HYDRATOR. HA IS ALSO PRODUCED BY YOUR BODY, SO THE LIP FILLERS ARE EASILY ACCEPTED ONCE INJECTED AND BROKEN DOWN NATURALLY OVER SEVERAL MONTHS.
WHAT VISIBLE EFFECTS CAN THEY OFFER?
AS YOU AGE, YOUR LIPS WILL BECOME THINNER AS THEY LOSE VOLUME – A PROCESS THAT USUALLY STARTS OCCURRING FROM YOUR LATE TWENTIES! SOME PEOPLE ARE ALSO BORN WITH THINNER LIPS, SOMETHING THEY MAY NOT CONSIDER ATTRACTIVE AND SEEK TO CHANGE; INTRODUCING SMALL QUANTITIES OF HA FILLER CAN ENHANCE THE APPEARANCE OF THE LIPS, MAINLY BY CHANGING ITS SHAPE AND SIZE. WE CAN ALSO CREATE A MORE PRONOUNCED CUPID’S BOW IF YOU WISH.
WILL I HAVE A NATURAL LOOK?
YES. WE ARE FIRM BELIEVERS OF USING ONLY THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND THE MOST ADVANCED RANGE OF PRODUCTS, WHICH INCLUDES OUR DERMAL FILLERS. THIS ENSURES NATURAL-LOOKING RESULTS THAT INCLUDE RESHAPED LIPS AND SUBTLE VOLUME WHERE NEEDED. OUR PRODUCTS ALSO OFFER GREAT ELASTICITY, SO THE FILLERS MOVE WITH YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS FOR A NATURAL, SOFT LOOK.
HOW LONG DO LIP FILLERS LAST?
THE EXACT DURATION WILL VARY FROM PERSON TO PERSON SINCE EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. HOWEVER, YOU CAN EXPECT A DURATION OF 6 TO 12 MONTHS.
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE IMMEDIATE RESULTS, AS OUR LIP FILLER TREATMENTS PROVIDE AN INSTANT EFFECT – HOWEVER, YOU WILL SEE EVEN BETTER RESULTS AS THE HA SETTLES AND INTEGRATES WITH YOUR FACIAL TISSUE. YOU CAN ALSO AMEND THE LOOK AND ALTER IT OVER TIME, AS HA FILLERS ARE NOT PERMANENT.
CAN YOU UNDERGO THIS PROCEDURE?
MOST PEOPLE ARE SUITABLE CANDIDATES FOR THE LIP FILLER TREATMENT, BUT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DISCUSS YOUR MEDICAL HISTORY DURING AN INITIAL CONSULTATION. THIS WILL HELP OUR PROFESSIONAL TEAM TO ADVISE ON THE BEST TREATMENT FOR YOU.
DO LIP FILLER TREATMENTS HURT?
THIS AREA WILL SWELL UP A LITTLE, HOWEVER, AND YOU MAY SEE SOME BRUISING (WHICH SHOULD GO AWAY AFTER A FEW DAYS). DUE TO THIS, YOU MAY WANT TO SCHEDULE YOUR PROCEDURE AHEAD OF TIME IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO UNDERGO IT FOR A SPECIAL OCCASION, AS THERE MAY BE SOME DOWNTIME.
