Lip fillers at Harpenden Skin Clinic in Hertfordshire are a type of dermal filler.
They can be used to create volume or definition in your lips, giving them a plump, luscious look and enhancing your natural beauty.
One of our most popular treatments, lip fillers are non-surgical, with no recovery time, minimal risk and no danger of scarring.

Like most dermal fillers, lip fillers are administered via an injection of natural hyaluronic acid. Whether through age or genetics, hyaluronic acid production in the body may be depleted, causing a lack of definition in the lips.
Replacing the hyaluronic acid in the lips stimulates processes that create elasticity and volume in the skin. It is a safe and natural beauty treatment.
The body will eventually break the hyaluronic acid down over time. After about 9 months the treatment will need to be re-administered in order to maintain results. Semi-permanent treatments are available that last for around two years.
Lip fillers can treat thin lips, asymmetric lips or uneven top and bottom lips, and can lend more balance to the face.
Non-Surgical – Only needing an injection, lip fillers come with almost no risk. There will be no scarring, and it is very rare that our clients have adverse physical reactions to our high-quality filler gel.
Lower Cost – High-quality lip filler fluid may be more pricy than some more dubious treatments, but compared to surgical treatments, dermal fillers are a fraction of the price. Lip enhancement at Harpenden starts from £315.00.
Saves on time – No recovery time is needed after receiving lip filler treatment and the procedure itself can be done and dusted within half an hour. You can easily fit it into your schedule.
Improved Self-Esteem – If you are self-conscious about your appearance, this can have negative effects on confidence and mental health. Like wearing your favourite shirt, altering the features of the face to create your ideal look will make you feel stronger and more confident in your daily life. With confidence, anything is possible.
First of all, we encourage you to book a consultation with one of our skilled professionals. During this session we can answer any concerns and questions and understand what you’d like to get out of the process. We can talk through your medical records and any previous facial treatments you may have had.
Once you are happy with our proposed plan of treatment, you can go ahead and book a time for the procedure. The lip enhancement injection takes between 20-30 minutes, and you can be in and out of the clinic without disrupting your day.
If you are concerned about pain, know that we will administer a local anaesthetic to numb the site of injection. Lips contain dense nerve endings and so a little discomfort is to be expected, but it will not last long. The numb feeling will wear off after 15 minutes.
Results are immediate but will continue to develop over a period of weeks.
We will give you detailed instructions on aftercare, but it will be useful to know the following:
Your lips may feel tender for a few days after the procedure. Possible side-effects of lip fillers include minor redness, swelling, bruising or itching. This should subside within 48 hours, but could differ from person to person.
It is best to avoid alcohol, direct sunlight and make-up for around 24 hours after the treatment. You should avoid intense heat and other facial treatments for up to two weeks.
Any mild pain experienced can be controlled with paracetamol. Blood-thinning drugs like ibuprofen and aspirin may prolong the tenderness of the lips, delaying recovery.
In the unlikely event that these symptoms do not subside or become more severe please contact us or your GP.
