What are lip fillers?

Lip fillers (or dermal fillers) are smooth injectable gels, made from a substance (which naturally occurs in our skin and joints to hydrate and lubricate) that are placed beneath the skin's surface to restore volume, correct static wrinkles and folds and erase fine lines, whilst providing the skin with volume, support and hydration. Dermal Fillers rejuvenate and enhance facial features, restore youthful contours and have instant, natural looking and feeling results that last between 9 to 12 months.

Discomfort will vary depending on the individual. The injections themselves feel like a slight pinch, and you may experience slight pressure or a ‘stinging’ sensation as the product is being injected. Although the needle used is very small, slight bruising and bleeding may occur at the site of the injections. For your comfort, you can choose to have your lips numbed with a topical numbing cream and this is recommended for your first time. Please discuss with your cosmetic injector during your complimentary consultation.

When can I expect to see results?

Lip filler results can be seen almost immediately following your treatment. However, it's important to note that your lips will be swollen. The degree of swelling varies person to person, but will usually subside within a few days of your treatment.

Can lip filler be removed?

It is possible to dissolve the dermal filler using an enzyme, although it is extremely rare for us to need to do so. The reversal treatment comes with its own risks and should be discussed thoroughly with your doctor or treating nurse injector.

Should I massage my lips post treatment?

Your injector will advise you on how to massage your lips and how often to massage. Sometimes you may be asked not to massage them at all. It is extremely important to follow your injectors recommendations as they will be tailored specifically to you and your treatment. If you are unsure when you get home, phone your treating clinic to get clarification.

Am I eligible for lip filler injections?

Lip filler injections are not suitable for: people with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients pregnant or breastfeeding mums clients under the age of 18 During your complimentary consultation, your treating medical professional will assess your medical history and skin for suitability for treatment.

Lip Volume & Definition - Australian Skin Clinics

As we age, the natural decrease in collagen and elastic production in the skin affects the lips, leading to thinning over time. Additionally, factors like excessive sun exposure, smoking, and repetitive facial expression can contribute to the change in shape and definition. For further details or to address concerns about your lip shape and definition, schedule a consultation with our medical team.
