Lip Enhancement (Restylane Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid lip enhancement using Restylane fillers to add subtle volume, improve symmetry and define the lip border, shaped to stay in proportion with the rest of the face. Derma Clinic offers natural modelling, the Russian-lip / flat technique for a lifted appearance, and lighter lip hydration for those who want smoother, better-hydrated lips rather than added volume. Treatment is performed by a doctor after discussing your goals.

Lip enhancement at Derma Clinic uses soft, cross-linked Restylane hyaluronic acid to refine the lips' volume, shape and border definition while keeping movement and proportion natural. Treatment starts with a discussion of what you want — more hydration and a tidy border, a little extra volume, the lifted look of the Russian-lip technique, or correction of asymmetry — and the doctor recommends an approach and volume accordingly, often starting conservatively. A strong topical anaesthetic is applied and Restylane products also contain lidocaine, so the procedure is generally well tolerated. The gel is placed with a fine needle or cannula and shaped by hand; results are immediate, though lips commonly swell for 24 to 48 hours and small bruises can occur. Final shape is usually clear within one to two weeks. Hyaluronic acid lip filler typically lasts around six to nine months, as the lips are mobile and metabolise filler relatively quickly. For patients who prefer a refresh without much added volume, a lighter lip-hydration option is available, and filler around the mouth can also soften vertical smoker's lines. Because the filler is hyaluronic acid, a result can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you wish to adjust or reverse it. Lip enhancement is for adults seeking subtle, balanced lips; it is avoided during pregnancy or breastfeeding and over active cold sores, and suitability is confirmed at consultation.
