LIP FILLER
Lip fillers not only enhance your natural lip shape, but we can change your lip shape, stop the lipstick running into those little lines, help prevent the resting sad face and more! It provides moisturisation, plumping and redefining to make you feel better than ever.
Our clients always say the best moment after lip fillers is putting on your favourite lipstick for the first time - the difference in your smile will be unbelievable.
We can offer results that are extremely natural looking, so no duck-lips or trout-pouts please! They can be as subtle or as "wow" as you like, tailored to your dream lips.
For subtle results we recommend 0.5mL, and for a fuller result: 1mL.
We believe in gradually building your lips, letting your body adapt and adjust and topping up if needed, so we won't ever push you to get more filler than you want.
