LIP ENHANCEMENT
Lip Augmentation is a non surgical procedure that aims to restore a plump appearance to ageing lips or improve the shape of the lips. As with many parts of the body, lips lose their smooth and full appearance as we get older, natural substances in our body such as hyaluronic acid decrease with age, causing dryness, wrinkles or loss of volume. Lip fillers can be used to give you youthful looking, plump lips or reduce fine lines and wrinkles arround your lips.
Ageing naturally causes your lips lto ose definition and become thinner. Women of all ages with naturally thin lips can benefit with the use of dermal fillers. The lip filler used is specifically designed to restore natural fullness and shaped lips and improve your natural look. Fillers such as Hyaluronic Acid are a temporary and safe way to plump your lips.
The results of lip enhancement are immediate and should last at least 6 months, you may notice some slights swelling and possible bruising following treatment but these symptoms will dissapear within 7 days.

It is a medical aesthetic procedure to increase the size of the lips and reduce wrinkles around the mouth. Both lips can be treated, or the upper or lower lip may be treated alone depending on each patient. Lip Augmentation can be achieve by injecting or surgically implanting materials into the lips. Some procedures are temporary, others are permanent. We recommend the use of Hyaluronic Acid due to the minimla risk involved.
