Lip Enhancement
Lip enhancement / augmentation, often referred to as "Lip Fillers", is amongst the most popular non-surgical treatments performed in the UK. Dermal fillers are popular and versatile anti-ageing injectables that shape, add volume and lifts the skin leaving it smooth, contoured and youthful.
Lip tissue undergoes the most mechanical and chemical exposure. We spend a lot of the day talking, chewing and making facial expressions. Over time, this leads to the lower one third of our face ageing the fastest.
Lip fillers are made up of low to medium density dermal fillers. These contain hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring carbohydrate found in our skin cells. Lip fillers allow us to add more of this clear gel like substance to the lips to add volume and define shape.
Fern Aesthetics are able to tailor the lip enhancement results to the patient’s wishes and to what will suit them best. It is understood that for some people a "natural but defined" pair of lips is pleasing while for others, fuller "heart shaped" lips are desirable.
