Bespoke Lip Enhancements
Are you wanting to enhance your natural lips, add volume or create a more defined shape?
A Bespoke Lip Enhancement is the perfect solution for you.
What is a Lip Enhancement?
Lip enhancements are a great treatment to help build your overall confidence.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally produced substance that is found within the connective tissues of the skin. It helps provide the skin with structure, volume and hydration. Through precise injections, small amounts of natural hyaluronic acid is carefully placed into and around the lips.
The placement of the product can be used to add volume, replace volume that has been lost, rehydrate and define the lip.
We specialise in providing all natural results that are bespoke to yourself and your goals.
Every lip is different and your goals, concerns and requirements can all be discussed in a consultation prior to your treatment. We use the Juvederm range as our products of choice due to its advanced technology, longevity and natural feel.

A lip enhancement is suitable for adults over the age of 18, with some patients being treated into their 80’s.
