In order to assess that you are suitable for treatment you will require consultation with one of our practitioners. We’ll always provide honest advice on what direction we think you should go. 

After your consultation we will discuss what your goals are and how we can progress towards them—whilst always keeping in mind that a natural look is best.

The results are instant however you will have mild to moderate swelling for three to five days. Therefore, this will hinder the long-term natural result that you will see during this period.

There may be some temporary side effects of this treatment which are typically mild, however every patient is different in terms of the downtime they may experience. This is something to bear in mind if you have an upcoming social event!

Your appointment time may take up to 30 minutes depending on how long your consultation process lasts, but the procedure itself only takes around 5-10 minutes. We’ll adjust the amount and type of filler used to achieve your desired results. 

Once fully healed you can be assured that your lip filler enhancement will look natural and be in harmony with the rest of your facial features.

We are aware people can be anxious about the procedure being painful and may have a phobia of needles. We’ll endeavour to make your experience as comfortable as possible. Numbing cream will be applied and we use gentle technique as well as giving you lots of reassurance! We also offer localised anaesthetic which will completely numb the mouth area that will be discussed as your consultation. 

Dermal fillers Most reputable dermal fillers on the market today are supposed to last from 12 months upwards, however your body’s rate at breaking it down differs. Some people get a year, some a year and a half depending.

For 48 hours, you should avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, exposure to UV light, and heat, such as saunas, steam rooms, sunbeds, hot showers, and strenuous exercise, as these may increase discomfort and swelling. Keep the area cool with a cold compress, but don’t apply ice which can cause injury. You may take paracetamol to help with any discomfort, and antihistamines (normal hay fever tablets are fine; Piriton may be more effective but can cause drowsiness) to help manage swelling.

Try to avoid unnecessary pressure over any treated areas, especially in the first 24 hours. Avoid facial massages or skin resurfacing treatments until the area has fully healed. Keep the area clean to avoid the risk of infection. Monitor the skin for 48 hours after any color changes. Reduce the risk of infection and reaction by not touching the area for 6 hours. Do not apply makeup over injection points until the day after the procedure.
