LIP ENHANCEMENT AT REFRESH MEDISPA
Lip fillers at our clinic in Amersham, also known as lip augmentation, involves the use of injectable dermal fillers to enhance the size, shape, and contour of the lips. This cosmetic procedure is popular among individuals seeking fuller, more defined lips or correction of asymmetry and ageing-related volume loss.

How Do Lip Fillers Work?
During the treatment process, a qualified medical professional at Refresh Medispa assesses your lip anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine the most suitable filler type and injection technique. Commonly used fillers for lip augmentation include hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane and Teoxane, which offer natural-looking results and can be tailored to individual preferences.
The treatment typically begins with the application of a topical numbing cream or local anaesthesia to minimise discomfort. The filler is then injected into specific areas of the lips using a fine needle. The injection technique may involve adding volume to the body of the lips, defining the lip borders, or correcting asymmetry to achieve the desired lip shape and fullness. Lip fillers work by adding volume and definition to the lips, enhancing their appearance and creating a more youthful and attractive smile. Hyaluronic acid fillers attract water molecules, resulting in plumper, smoother lips with improved hydration and elasticity.
After the procedure, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. Makeup can be applied to conceal any temporary discoloration.

FAQs
- Am I suitable for lip fillers?
A suitable candidate for lip fillers desires fuller lips or correction of asymmetry, ageing-related volume loss, or lip shape irregularities. They should be in good health, have realistic expectations, and no contraindications to filler ingredients. Candidates seeking natural-looking enhancement and improved lip contour may benefit from lip augmentation.
- Can lip fillers combine with other treatments?
Lip fillers can complement other filler treatments like cheek or chin augmentation to rejuvenate an ageing appearance or enhance overall facial harmony. By addressing multiple areas, they can restore lost volume, improve facial contours, and create a more youthful and balanced aesthetic, enhancing the overall facial profile.
- Are lip fillers safe?
Lip fillers are considered safe when administered by qualified professionals such as the practitioners at Refresh Medispa. Many formulations, like hyaluronic acid-based fillers, are designed specifically for the delicate lip area, minimising risks of adverse reactions. Their soft, gel-like consistency integrates smoothly with lip tissue, reducing discomfort and providing natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
- What downtime should I expect following lip fillers?
Following lip fillers, minimal downtime is typical. Temporary side effects like swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur, but usually subside within a few days. Patients can often resume normal activities immediately, though avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours is advisable.
- How long do lip fillers last?
The longevity of lip filler results varies. Typically, results last from 6-12 months. Factors such as filler type, metabolism, and lifestyle can affect duration. Regular maintenance treatments may be needed to sustain optimal volume and shape as the filler gradually breaks down and is absorbed by the body.
