Lip Augmentation (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid lip enhancement to add subtle volume, improve hydration and define or rebalance the lip shape, kept in proportion with the rest of the face. Smaller 0.5 ml sessions suit first-timers or a gentle refresh, while 1 ml allows more shaping or correction of asymmetry. At Dermamed treatment is carried out by a doctor, and results can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you ever want to adjust them.

Lip augmentation at Dermamed uses soft, cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler to enhance the lips' volume, hydration, shape and border definition while keeping movement and proportion natural. Treatment starts with a discussion of your goals — more hydration and a tidy border, a little extra volume, correction of asymmetry or refinement of the overall shape — and the doctor recommends a volume accordingly, often starting conservatively at 0.5 ml for first-time patients. A strong topical anaesthetic is applied and the filler 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 24–48 hours and small bruises can occur. The final shape is usually clear within one to two weeks. Hyaluronic acid lip filler is commonly associated with a duration of around six to nine months, as the lips are mobile and tend to metabolise filler relatively quickly. As with all hyaluronic acid treatments the result can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you wish to reverse or refine it. Lip enhancement is for adults seeking subtle, balanced lips; it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding or over active cold sores, and suitability is confirmed at consultation.
