Thanks to our highly qualified Facial Aesthetics expert, Dr Victoria Jaminson BDS, here are the answers to some frequently asked questions

1. Will my lips swell?

Possibly yes but not enormously and ice packs are rarely needed. You may wake up the next day thinking “Wow they are massive!” However this swelling disappears over the course of the day.

2. Will there be bruising?

There’s always potential of bruising no matter how gentle the injection.  There are steps a good clinician can take to minimise bruising and recovery time should one appear.  If you are someone prone to bruising try to avoid painkillers the week before treatment.

Always follow the aftercare as this facilitates a great outcome .

3. How do I know what you’re putting in my lips?

All our products are sourced from a UK regulated pharmacy which are traceable by manufacturers’ batch number.

4. I love a “big lip” can you do me this all in one sitting?

We’d say no. Whether you want big or subtle lips after treatment – a gentle 2 step approach allows your lips- as well as your friends and family – to adapt to your new look . Remember we can always add more as needed later until we get to where you’re happy, then just top up to maintain the shape and plumpness.

5. Will it hurt?

Lips can sting a little – that’s where topical numbing cream comes in. Everyone has a different pain threshold so we can’t give you a 1-10 scale rating.  If you’re a little nervous let us know beforehand and we’ll talk you through the whole process.
