LIP FILLER TREATMENT
Lips are the defining feature of your face, so it’s important that they are well balanced, symmetrical and have good volume. As we age, our lips naturally loose their youthful appearance due to decrease in collagen, elastin and fat. Lips become thinner, flatter and less plump. Cupid’s bow flattens out and looses its definition, corners of mouth begin to turn downwards.
What are lip fillers?
Lip fillers are a type of dermal filler, made up of hyaluronic acid, a gel like substance. Hyaluronic acid is also naturally found in your body but the levels decline with age.
How do lip fillers work?
Lip fillers add volume to thin lips, making them look soft, hydrated and plump. They are also used to shape and define the lips, improving the outline of lips, making the cupid’s bow ( the V-shape in the middle of the lips) more defined and noticeable.
How long do lip fillers last?
Results generally last between 6 to 12 months, depending on your metabolism.
What are the most common side effects?
The most common side effects include swelling, immediately after and for the first 24-48 hours. Bruising can appear at the needle injection sites. Lips can feel sore or tender to touch This usually settles within a few days.

We offer lip fillers for thin lips, for beautification of lips and lip contouring for anybody wanting fuller look to their lips or need more symmetry.
What does the procedure involve?
At MKSkin Clinic in Milton Keynes, we offer consultation before the lip filler treatment. During the consultation, we will do a thorough assessment of your face and tailor the treatment that meets your requirements. We understand the balance, harmony and proportions of the face. This ensures natural-looking results.
Before the procedure, here at MKSkin clinic in Milton Keynes, we first thoroughly clean and disinfect the lips to remove any make up and bacteria. This is followed by a dental block to numb the lips, so that no pain is felt during the procedure. Ice packs are also used if needed. Lip filler is then injected in small amounts into specific areas of the lips such as the border and the body for enhancement, definition and fullness. At MKSkin Clinic, lip filler treatments are carried out by qualified, experienced and skilled doctors. Patient safety and effective treatments remain our top priority.
