Lip shape and size is an important aspect of facial balance. Proportion is vital for a beautiful lip shape that ensures you always look your best. We also treat peri-oral lines.
Subtle adjustments to the cheek, jawline or chin can bring balance to facial proportions and improve symmetry and harmony in the face.
A filler procedure is non-surgical. It is simply a series of injections of hyaluronic acid into areas of the face to target particular wrinkles or to focus on volumizing an area of concern for example lips. The result is you maintain your facial structure and youthfulness, naturally. Like the best version of you!
Before carrying out treatment, our doctors see each and every patient for a thorough assessment and consultation. Each patient has a unique facial profile and therefore unique needs. A bespoke treatment plan will be put in place by one of our talented doctors. Topical local anaesthetic is applied to required areas. Treatment time varies depending on the area of the face being treated but normally take 30-60 minutes from assessment to completion.

Topical anaesthetic is used so pain is minimal. A small amount of discomfort may be felt in sensitive areas.
Immediately post procedure, you may have a little swelling and sometimes mild bruising or tenderness. This normally settles very quickly within a few days.
Some numbness or areas of firm nodules may occur which normally settles over time.
