Lip Enhancement & Modelling (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid lip enhancement at Estetica Clinic is aimed at restoring or adding volume to the lips while deeply hydrating and refreshing them. Using stabilised hyaluronic acid as a natural, well-tolerated filler, the treatment can improve shape, soften the effects of ageing and balance the lips with the rest of the face. A consultation beforehand helps match the product density and amount to each client's goals for a natural-looking result.

Lip enhancement and modelling uses stabilised hyaluronic acid — a substance the body produces naturally and which is responsible for binding water in the tissues — to add volume, improve shape and hydrate the lips. With age the body's own hyaluronic acid declines and environmental factors such as sun exposure contribute to lips that look thinner, drier and less firm; replacing some of that volume in a controlled way is among the most popular and frequently performed aesthetic treatments worldwide because, when done carefully, it noticeably refreshes the appearance with minimal disruption. At Estetica Clinic a consultation and a short questionnaire come first, so the practitioner understands the client's expectations and can select the appropriate density and type of product to avoid an artificial look. The goal is full, rejuvenated and hydrated lips that still look natural. After treatment the lips are usually slightly swollen and a small bruise may appear; following the aftercare advice, these changes typically settle within about two to three days, at which point the lips reach their final shape. For a few hours afterwards it is best to avoid excessive facial expressions and not to touch or massage the treated area, and for around three days to limit exposure to strong sun and heat such as saunas or solariums. Hyaluronic acid lip results are commonly maintained for around seven to nine months depending on age, the product used, skin condition and lifestyle. The treatment is associated with improved lip shape, hydration and contour. It is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over active cold sores or skin infections, or where there is a relevant medical contraindication, all of which are reviewed at consultation.
