Lip Augmentation · Cardiff & South Wales
Fuller, More Defined Lips.
Natural-Looking Enhancement.
Lip filler creates fuller, more balanced, beautifully shaped lips with natural-looking results. Add volume, enhance definition, correct asymmetry, or restore youthful plumpness. Instant results that last 6-12 months.
Understanding the Treatment
What Is
Lip Augmentation?
Lip augmentation uses hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers to enhance lip volume, shape, definition, and symmetry. Whether you want subtle fullness, dramatic enhancement, or to restore volume lost with ageing, lip filler delivers customizable, natural-looking results.
HA filler is carefully injected along the lip border and/or into the body of the lips to instantly add hydration and volume, define and enhance natural lip shape, smooth out irregularities, and create balanced, aesthetically pleasing proportions. Results are immediate and moldable — your practitioner can sculpt the perfect shape during treatment.

The Benefits
Why Choose
Lip Augmentation?
Instant, Dramatic Results
Walk out with fuller, more defined lips immediately. No waiting for results to develop — the transformation is instant.
Completely Customizable
From barely-there enhancement to full, glamorous lips — results are tailored to your exact preferences. Your lips, your vision, your outcome.
Natural Movement & Feel
Modern fillers integrate seamlessly, allowing natural lip movement for talking, eating, and kissing. No one will know unless you tell them.
Reversible & Temporary
If you change your mind, HA filler can be dissolved immediately. Results last 6-12 months, then gradually fade — no permanent commitment.
Corrects Asymmetry
Enhance one lip more than the other to create perfect balance. Finally achieve the symmetry you've always wanted.
Confidence Boosting
Fuller, more defined lips enhance your entire face. Many clients report feeling more confident and attractive after treatment.
Enhancement Styles
Choose Your Lip
Enhancement Style
Classic / Natural Enhancement
Subtle volume increase with natural-looking fullness. Maintains your natural lip shape while adding plumpness and definition. Perfect for first-timers or those wanting understated results.
Russian Lips
Height-focused technique creating a lifted, heart-shaped appearance from the front with minimal projection from the side. Defines cupid's bow and creates dramatic vertical height.
Full / Glamorous Lips
Noticeable volume increase for bold, statement lips. Even fullness throughout with enhanced borders and definition. Confident, Instagram-worthy enhancement.
Lip Flip (Botox, Not Filler)
Anti-wrinkle injection relaxes muscles above the upper lip to "flip" it slightly outward, creating the appearance of fullness without adding volume. Subtle enhancement lasting 3-4 months.
Border Definition Only
Filler placed along the lip line to sharpen borders and enhance cupid's bow without adding significant volume. Creates defined, sculpted appearance.
Asymmetry Correction
Careful placement to balance uneven lips. May involve more filler in one lip or specific areas to create symmetry.
Your practitioner will recommend the best approach based on your natural anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Lip Filler Pricing
Lip filler pricing is based on amount used rather than "per lip" — everyone's lips and goals are different. This allows flexible, customised treatment where you pay for what you actually receive.
Most clients start with 0.5-1mL and add more at follow-up appointments if desired.
