What is lip filler?
Cheek fillers are one of the most popular celebrity treatments to achieve prominent cheekbones that make their face look naturally contoured. Injections into the zygomatic arch can be used to lift the face. When these injections are properly placed and injected they can lift the face up and out.
The hyaluronic acid within the filler provides your face with youthfulness, as the hydrating ingredient brings plumpness to the skin. With this treatment, you can correct flat or uneven facial proportions, by making the cheek-bones more distinguished.
Placement, lifting capability, the quantity of product, and the experience of the practitioner themselves are critical components of this procedure.
In our clinic, all dermal filler treatments are carried out only by experienced, qualified doctors, so you can be absolutely sure of a highly professional, discreet and safe service.

Asked Questions
Dermal fillers are a man-made hyaluronic acid. It is near identical to the hyaluronic acid that is naturally within our bodies. Hyaluronic acid is a great ingredient in hydrating the skin because it is able to retain 1000 times its own weight in water.
Lip fillers are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment to help patients achieve fuller, plumper lips. These injectable treatments also fill lines and wrinkles and restore volume to lips that have lost their shape and structure as part of the ageing process. They provide immediate visible improvements to the lips by smoothing wrinkles and improving the appearance of deflated or saggy skin.
Yes. It is entirely down to you how enhanced you wish your lips to look. Dr Alexa is highly skilled medic with years of experience working in aesthetics. Staff at the clinic pride themselves on their light touch and ability to produce natural-looking results.
As lip fillers are a non-surgical procedure, they require non invasive surgery, cuts or stitches on the lips. Some patients may feel a slight sense of discomfort when having this injectable treatment. But it is usually very mild. Most patients will just feel a tiny scratch as the injection is applied and a tingling sensation as the filler is injected. We always apply a local anaesthetic to the treatment area (except the situation when a patient has an allergy to it) to completely minimise discomfort and the fillers itself contain local anaesthetic so it get number as the procedure goes along.
Results from this treatment are instant. There may be some slight swelling for a few days post treatment, but this will subside over time. Slight bruising where the injections have been made is possible, however our Doctor is extremely skilled and therefore the chances of any bruises or lumps is minimal.
Compared to most dermal fillers, lip fillers last between 4-6 months, but results can vary depending on the client. We recommend additional booster top-up treatments every six months to a year for patients who want to achieve year-round plumpness and structure in their lips. For patients who require subtle results, we recommend replenishments on a yearly basis. But every patient is different, so we tailor these top-ups depending on their unique visual needs.
As with many medical cosmetic treatments, it is not advisable to receive lip filler treatments while pregnant or breastfeeding. Dermal fillers have not been tested or verified for safety and efficacy on pregnant patients, so there is no concrete evidence to support the safety of fillers in this group of patients.
In the UK there is illegal to inject anyone with botulinum toxin or dermal fillers for cosmetic purposes. It does not matter if you or your parents or guardians give their permission for the procedures to take place. It is important to note that most people do not stop growing until they reach their early 20s; therefore, it is advised to wait until that age to have cosmetic work done.
There are a few things that you should be aware of before you have lip fillers done. In a professional clinic, you will be asked to come in for a consultation beforehand to make sure you are medically able to have them, and also discuss what you are hoping to achieve from the treatment. Taking blood thinners like ibuprofen and paracetamol can increase your chances of bruising, and although the bruises will fade after a few days, it might be something you would rather avoid if possible. The same can be said for drinking alcohol; you will be less likely to bruise if you avoid drinking alcohol for a couple of days before your treatment. This is because alcohol also thins the blood as well. Your best chance of avoiding bruising is to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.
The clinician or doctor will first apply numbing cream to your lips. This should reduce the discomfort during the treatment. It may still hurt a little bit, but should be a minor, tolerable pain and should only last a few seconds with each injection. They will then inject the filler into your lips, and you should feel a quick scratch similar to receiving any type of injection. Your lips might feel a little bit strange, remember a solution is being injected into your lips to fill them out so you might feel this sensation.
Apart from the negative health issues associated with smoking, is it advised to avoid smoking after the treatment, as well as using a straw. Having pressure in some parts of your lips can affect the outcome of your treatment. Beside that, smoking is known to dry out the skin and has been linked to premature ageing, so we would advise you refrain from smoking immediately post-procedure.
To avoid infection, we would advise to refrain from applying lipstick or lip gloss directly after receiving treatment. You can apply make up the next day after lip fillers.
Alcohol does not in any way interfere with the results of the procedure. However, doctors have recommended not drinking for 24 hours because alcohol enlarge blood vessels, which may increase susceptibility to bruising. If bruising is a major concern, follow this advice.
