Lip filler is typically a gel of hyaluronic acid injected into the skin to achieve volume in the lips. It can also be used at the corners of the mouth to lift and give a more structured look.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body which adds volume to the skin. We use a synthetic man-made form of this substance, which is FDA and CE-approved to be injected into the skin. 

The gel works by adding volume to the skin. Your qualified provider Polly Vincent, will inject small amounts of the hyaluronic acid directly into the skin to create a fuller look, contouring the lip to your desired level.

Lip fillers can accentuate the lip line (vermillion boarder), add volume or even change shape. Your desired results should be discussed with your beauty technician during your consultation prior to treatment – rest assured, we will not overfill your lips.

Lip filler treatments are a quick and easy process. There is no pre-test required for this treatment, so it can be carried out straight away and typically lasts 30 minutes from consultation to finishing the treatment. The results from the treatment are instant.

For the procedure, your lips will be numbed with a topical numbing agent. A lidocaine-based cream will be applied to provide comfort on initial injection. Most hyaluronic acid gels include lidocaine, which also provides comfort during the injection.

The gel used for lip fillers is a natural material which dissolves over time. If you are unsure about your desired result, you have the option of having the treatment in gradual stages over different visits.

The hyaluronic acid in the lip filler is almost identical to the substance already in the body. If there are any serious problems, it is possible to dissolve the filler. Immediately after treatment, lips can be red and slightly swollen but this is a normal result of the injection, and should reduce within a couple of days.

If you have a history of facial cold sores, there is a high risk that the needle punctures could induce another cold sore eruption. Also, be aware that if you are taking aspirin or similar medication, this can increase the bruising and bleeding around the injection site.

As previously mentioned, the hyaluronic acid in the lip filler is very similar to that present in your own skin. The same process of ageing that changes the structure of your skin will therefore also affect the filler. The filler will eventually dissolve and disappear from the body.

How long the lip filler lasts differs from person to person and depends on multiple factors, including the structure of your skin, lifestyle, age and the degree of expectation. Many clients choose to have a fresh trea
