Lip fillers typically contain hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps retain moisture and volume in the lips.

The results usually last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used, individual metabolism, and lifestyle factors.

Most practitioners use numbing cream or local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort. You may feel slight pressure or pinching during the treatment.

Avoid alcohol, exercise, excessive sun exposure, and touching your lips for at least 24-48 hours to reduce the risk of swelling and bruising.

Common side effects include swelling, bruising, and redness. Rare complications can include lumps, infection, or allergic reactions, which can be treated by your practitioner.
