If you’re feeling as though you might benefit from a fuller, more youthful, and pert set of lips, our team is here to help. Our lip fillers in Glasgow are quick, easy, and effective, creating exemplary results without requiring that you take too much time out of your active daily routine.
What Are Lip Fillers?
Our lip fillers in Glasgow are hyaluronic acid-based and are generally very well tolerated with minimal reaction from the tissues of your lip, aside from some localised swelling. Lip fillers generally last from two to six months as they are reabsorbed by your body, though this varies from patient to patient.
These treatments are a great way to address issues like:
- Smile and frown lines
- Smoker’s lines
- Sagging or drooping
- Thin lips
- Skin laxity

FAQ's
What is the longest-lasting lip filler?
With results that last for as long as a year, Juvederm is widely considered to be the longest-lasting lip filler. Restylane is in second place, with results that can last up to 10 months.
Why doesn't Juvederm last in my lips?
Ultimately it is the patient’s metabolism that determines how long their lip filler will last. Just as our metabolism determines how quickly food will be broken down in the stomach, it also controls the breakdown of injectables in the skin and lips. Patients who have faster metabolisms will see their filler dissipate quicker.
What is the most natural-looking lip filler?
Juvéderm Volbella is an incredibly thin filler that is perfect for a subtle change. It can add volume to the lips in a way that doesn’t leave any noticeable signs of having work done.
Do lips go back to normal after years of filler?
After lip fillers wear off, the lips and the skin around the mouth will go back to their normal appearance. There is no stretching or sagging, and patients will look like their pre-treatment selves again. This is the perfect time for patients to come in for another session if they so choose.
How often is too often for lip filler?
It is typically recommended that patients receive lip injections approximately 2 to 3 times a year. That said, practitioners believe that undergoing injections every 6 months is a good interval and that exceeding that amount might not be a good idea.
How long do lip fillers last?
Results typically last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used and your body's natural metabolism.
Is the lip filler procedure painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort as a numbing cream is applied beforehand. Some may feel a slight pinch during the injections.
Are there any side effects of lip fillers?
Common side effects include mild swelling, redness, or bruising. Serious complications are rare when performed by a qualified practitioner.
Can I wear makeup after getting lip fillers?
It's advisable to wait 24 hours before applying any makeup to avoid irritation and to allow the lips to settle.
Are lip fillers reversible?
Yes, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you're not satisfied with the results.
Can I combine lip fillers with other treatments?
Yes, many patients opt for additional facial treatments, such as dermal fillers or Botox, to enhance their overall look.
Will my lips look natural after fillers?
When performed by an experienced practitioner, lip fillers can achieve a natural-looking enhancement that complements your facial features.
