5 Things You Should Know About Lip Fillers

Claire Lavery • August 19, 2024

Natural lip enhancement with fillers can subtly enhance your features, adding precise volume and definition for a balanced and harmonious facial aesthetic. Read on to find out more...

What Are Lip Fillers?


Lip fillers are a type of injectable, usually formulated with hyaluronic acid, that adds volume to the lips in order to create a bigger, plumper pout. They can also replace lost volume, smooth out wrinkles around the mouth area and create improved definition and shape.


Fillers offer an immediate solution to plump the lips, and since they are not permanent, they are ideal for those who would like to tweak their appearance without making any long-term commitments.


How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?


There are a number of different factors that influence the length of time that dermal fillers will last, including the placement, the density of the filler used, and the patient's natural metabolism. Generally, results can last anywhere between four and 18 months.


How Do You Achieve Natural Looking Results?


In order to obtain the natural-looking outcome you are no doubt hoping for, it is imperative to visit a fully qualified aesthetic practitioner who makes you feel comfortable as soon as you step into the clinic. Your practitioner should seek to understand your hopes and expectations and provide expert advice in order to ensure that you leave their clinic feeling confident and empowered.


Claire is a medical aesthetic practitioner with an extensive background in various techniques, premium products and safe practice. She prides herself on creating natural results, ensuring lips are more defined, plumper, and more hydrated. Her technique provides a rejuvenated, youthful appearance while preserving the natural integrity of your lips, avoiding an artificial look. ⁠

Natural-looking fillers can significantly boost self-confidence, helping you feel more satisfied and comfortable with your appearance.⁠


Is It Better To Start With Less?


Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to lip fillers! To avoid the 'trout pout', we recommend adding smaller amounts of filler and building the volume up over time, creating a more natural and balanced result.


We will always start with a thorough consultation to discuss your desired outcome, expectations and assess your natural anatomy. There are all different face shapes, lip shapes and features which means that there is no 'one size fits all' approach, each treatment will be specifically tailored to your face as a whole.


Is There Any Downtime?


Lip Filler is a non-invasive treatment, but there is some downtime associated. As with any injectable treatment, there is a chance of swelling and bruising post-procedure. It is entirely normal to experience both of these side effects immediately after treatment, but they are generally mild, with any swelling and bruising dissipating within around a week.


You will be given strict aftercare instructions before you leave clinic, ensuring you know how to look after your lips immediately post-injection, and over the coming weeks until they are fully healed. Following these instructions carefully will ensure your safety and best results, so it's important to take note!

Injectable treatments have revolutionised the aesthetics industry, offering a way to enhance natural beauty, restore volume, and soften signs of ageing. However, one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding injectables is that they always result in an overfilled or unnatural look. In reality, when performed by skilled practitioners using the right techniques, injectables can achieve subtle, balanced results that enhance rather than alter a person’s appearance.

The start of a new year is the perfect time to reassess your habits and set intentions for the months ahead. While many focus on fitness goals or career aspirations, one resolution that often goes overlooked is the commitment to a consistent skincare routine. Your skin is your largest organ and the first line of defense against environmental stressors. Building a solid at-home skincare routine is not only key to maintaining healthy skin but also serves as the foundation for maximising the results of in-clinic skin and injectable treatments.
