At Skinox Aesthetics in Leicester, lip augmentation is never about exaggerated volume. It’s a clinically led enhancement designed to restore natural shape, symmetry, and hydration using advanced dermal filler techniques.
Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid fillers is one of the most refined aesthetic procedures available. The treatment enhances lip definition, corrects asymmetry, and restores balance to the lower third of the face — all while maintaining authentic, soft results that move naturally.
Every procedure at Skinox begins with a detailed facial assessment, mapping your proportions, cupid’s bow, and vermilion borders to achieve a balanced, harmonious outcome.
The Medical Precision Behind Every Treatment
Lip augmentation at Skinox follows strict medical protocols. Each treatment is carried out by qualified clinicians who use their understanding of facial anatomy to minimise risk and ensure precise filler placement.
Your consultation includes:
– A full facial analysis to assess balance and proportion
– Discussion of lip goals and natural movement
– Examination of existing filler (if applicable)
– Review of medical history, allergies, and contraindications
Mapping and proportion planning are key steps — helping to define where subtle volume or definition is required, and ensuring results remain in harmony with the patient’s natural features.
How Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Work
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring sugar molecule found in the body that attracts and retains moisture. When expertly injected, it can:
– Restore lost volume
– Improve lip contour and definition
– Hydrate and smooth the surface
– Correct mild asymmetry
– Support perioral structure (the fine lines around the lips)
Skinox uses CE-certified medical-grade fillers designed for soft-tissue augmentation, ensuring a predictable, safe outcome and smooth integration with the natural tissue.
The Procedure: Step by Step
1. Consultation and Assessment
A medical professional evaluates your facial balance, symmetry, and lip proportion. This is where “mapping” is done — not with pigment, but with anatomical markers to identify safe injection zones and achieve proportionate shaping.
2. Numbing and Preparation
A topical anaesthetic is applied to enhance comfort, followed by antiseptic skin preparation to maintain a sterile field.
3. Precise Injection Technique
Using micro-needles or a cannula, the filler is placed in layers to refine shape and add volume exactly where needed. The Skinox approach uses small, controlled quantities to avoid overcorrection.
4. Final Sculpting and Review
Once the filler has been placed, the clinician gently sculpts and checks symmetry from multiple angles, ensuring natural curvature and smoothness.
Safety and Clinical Oversight
As a medical aesthetics clinic, Skinox performs every filler procedure under strict safety protocols. All treatments include:
– Comprehensive medical consultation
– Use of CE-marked dermal fillers
– Emergency reversal access (hyaluronidase)
– Sterile single-use needles and syringes
– Post-treatment monitoring and aftercare guidance
This ensures every treatment is not only aesthetically refined but also clinically accountable.
Aftercare and Longevity
Following treatment, mild swelling or tenderness may occur for 24–48 hours. Skinox provides a clear aftercare plan that includes:
– Avoiding makeup and pressure on the lips for 12 hours
– No vigorous exercise, alcohol, or heat exposure for 24–48 hours
– Gentle hydration and SPF protection
– Review after 2 weeks if adjustment is required
Results typically last 6–12 months, depending on metabolism, filler type, and lifestyle. Many clients choose maintenance appointments once or twice a year to keep results consistent.
