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.
