Lips enhancement with Juvederm Ultra®
Revealing every woman’s beauty potential – Dermal fillers Kent
Lip enhancement treatment with MaiLi and Juvéderm® is a popular non-surgical procedure designed to boost the shape, volume, correct asymmetry and hydration of lips via the injection of Hyaluronic Acid based Dermal filler. This treatment is especially beneficial for those seeking lip enhancement, as the lips are particularly vulnerable with their extremely thin outer layer, which progressively becomes thinner as we age.

Upper lip lines, often referred to as “smoker’s lines” or “lipstick lines,” are fine vertical wrinkles that can form along the upper lip due to aging, repetitive movements, or lifestyle factors. Treating these lines with a fine dermal filler like MaiLi Precise or Viscoderm can effectively smooth and soften the area without adding noticeable volume to the lips.
Using an upper lip filler, a thin gel is gently injected just beneath the skin’s surface to fill in and support these fine lines. This approach provides a naturally refreshed look by smoothing wrinkles and restoring subtle structure, resulting in a more youthful and softened appearance. The use of a soft, precise filler allows for a smooth finish that integrates seamlessly with the skin, maintaining natural lip movement and expression.
Mild redness or swelling may occur but typically fades within a few days, leaving beautifully rejuvenated lips and a smoother upper lip line.
Thin lips, asymmetry, volume loss, lip lines, dryness, and subtle shape or definition concerns.
Topical numbing cream is applied; fillers also contain lidocaine for added comfort during treatment.
Procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes including consultation, numbing, and precise filler placement.
Temporary swelling, redness, bruising, cold sore activation; rare complications include lumps or asymmetry.
Minimal — most clients resume activities the same day with some swelling lasting 1–3 days.
Results last 6–12 months depending on product used, metabolism, and lifestyle factors.
Hyaluronic acid-based filler is precisely injected to hydrate, volumise, and define lip contours naturally.
Apply ice, avoid touching, no makeup or alcohol for 24–48 hours, follow provided aftercare instructions.

Cold Sores & Lip Fillers: What You Need to Know.
If you’re prone to cold sores, lip fillers can sometimes trigger an outbreak. To avoid this, let your practitioner know beforehand so they can prescribe antiviral medication. Always wait for active cold sores to heal before getting fillers! Stay safe and enjoy your perfect pout!
Incorporating these elements into your lip enhancement journey ensures not only beautiful results but also a positive experience overall.
Lip enhancement procedures not only restore youthfulness but also provide a significant boost to self-esteem, allowing you to feel confident and radiant. Additionally, dermal fillers for face can complement your lip treatment by enhancing other facial features, ensuring a harmonious and youthful appearance.
Why Choose Lip Enhancement?
-
Natural substances that contribute to beautiful skin, such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, decrease in our bodies over time. As the effects of ageing take hold, lip volume depletes, resulting in a thinner, flatter appearance. This treatment is ideal for those looking to:
-
Boost Lip Volume: Fuller lips can add balance to facial features, enhance natural beauty, and give a more youthful appearance.
-
Improve Lip Shape and Definition: Lip fillers can define the natural contours of the lips, enhancing the cupid’s bow, lip borders, and overall symmetry for a refined look.
-
Correct Asymmetry: Minor imbalances in lip shape or size can be adjusted to create a more symmetrical and harmonious appearance.
- Smooth Lip Lines and Wrinkles: Fine lines around the mouth, often caused by ageing or repetitive facial movements, can be softened with lip enhancement, leading to a smoother, refreshed appearance.
- Restore Hydration and Softness: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers also add hydration, making lips look and feel soft, smooth, and naturally plump.
- Customize to Your Goals: With precise control over filler placement and amount, the results can be tailored to achieve a subtle, natural boost or a fuller, more dramatic look, depending on your preferences.
Lip enhancement with dermal fillers provides immediate results, minimal downtime, and a confidence boost, helping you look and feel your best with beautiful, natural-looking lips.
The Benefits of MaiLi and Juvéderm®
MaiLi Define and Precise, Juvéderm® Smile®, VOLBELLA® and VOLIFT® are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring in our body that helps maintain volume and elasticity in the skin. Here’s why they are a great choice:
MaiLi and Juvéderm® fillers are two of the most trusted and refined dermal filler ranges available today. Both are designed to deliver smooth, subtle, and long-lasting results — while maintaining a natural look and feel.
Natural Ingredients:
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a key ingredient in lip fillers, valued for its ability to attract and retain moisture, which helps create fuller, more hydrated lips. As a naturally occurring substance in the body, HA integrates smoothly into the lip tissue, allowing for subtle enhancements while maintaining a natural appearance. Its biocompatibility ensures that HA lip fillers are generally well-tolerated, with minimal risk of adverse reactions. Additionally, if adjustments are needed, HA fillers can be easily dissolved. This makes HA an ideal choice for achieving beautiful, plump lips with a soft and natural look.
Long-Lasting Effects:
Results can last up to 12 months.
Study Results:
A study showed that 98% of participants achieved their desired lip appearance.
Enhanced Comfort:
Most dermal fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that helps minimize discomfort during the injection process, ensuring a more comfortable experience overall.
Natural Composition
MaiLi fillers are made with high-quality hyaluronic acid, helping to restore volume, promote hydration, and improve skin elasticity.
Targeted Application
Suitable for lips, cheeks, and under the eyes, these fillers provide smooth, subtle results without an overfilled appearance.
Comfortable Treatments
Many MaiLi formulas include lidocaine to reduce discomfort during the procedure and ensure a pleasant treatment experience.
Long-Lasting Effects
Results can last up to 12–18 months or more, depending on the treatment area and individual factors.
Advanced Formulation
Juvéderm® VOLBELLA® and VOLIFT® use VYCROSS™ technology to restore natural lip volume with soft, flexible movement.
Dr Nina Sheffield was excellent and highly skilled. I had lip fillers last Saturday for the first time which was totally painless and the results are great. I developed a little bruising but that has just about gone a few days later.

- To create fuller upper & lower lips for a more sensuous smile
- To reduce fine lines around the mouth
- To lift corners of the mouth
- To erase “smokers’ lines”
- To enhance the shape and definition of the lips
- To even out unbalanced lips
How often do I need to have juvederm?
The effect is instant and can last in most cases for nine months and for some people up to a year. What’s less well known is that the filler carries on doing its good work during that time. A dermal filler like Juvéderm Ultra will combine with collagen and elastin to improve skin structure and elasticity from within. Your body breaks it down this safe, non-animal derived Hyaluronic Acid based leading filler, which means you have control over your appearance, and can top us as and when you think best.
What should you do before treatment?
Prior to lip enhancement treatment you should avoid aspirin and anti-inflammatory medication, e.g. Ibuprofen for one week. If you suffer from cold sores it is advisable to take antiviral Acyclovir tablets for a few days before and after the procedure. Please do not have any Dental treatment for 2 weeks before and after your Juvéderm® treatment.
What should I do after treatment?
You may be advised to stop wearing makeup for up to 12 hours. You may also be told to avoid the sun, as well as saunas and steam rooms, for 2 weeks. Some people experience a little temporary tenderness, swelling or bruising around the injection sites. It is also recommended that you avoid additional treatments in the treated area for the next 7 days.
Is juvederm safe?
We won’t offer treatments that we don’t think are safe, or that don’t work. Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in the body. It moisturises skin from the inside out, smoothing out wrinkles in the process. Think of it like an internal cosmetic product that hydrates the skin. We use the brand-leader Juvéderm® range which has been used for over 25 years in more than 16 million treatments worldwide. Of course, as with anything, you need to be sure you’re in safe hands. Make sure your practitioner is qualified and registered at the very least and to be really confident, choose a CQC registered clinic like rtwskin.
Will it hurt?
Don’t worry. We offer all sorts of treatments, to all sorts of people of all ages with all different types of pain thresholds and we’ve yet to have anyone experience any pain! That’s what’s made us one of Europe’s leading laser and skin clinics. As with all treatments, there can be some side effects associated but most of these are mild and temporary.
How long does a lip filler appointment take?
A typical appointment lasts around 30–45 minutes, including consultation and treatment. The actual injection process takes only about 20 minutes.
Will my lips feel hard or unnatural after fillers?
No — we use premium, soft hyaluronic acid fillers that integrate seamlessly with your own tissue. Once settled, lips feel soft and natural to the touch.
Can I go back to work after lip fillers?
Absolutely! Most clients return to work or daily activities right after the procedure. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but is usually minimal and temporary.
What if I only want a very subtle result?
That’s exactly our goal. At rtwskin, we specialise in natural-looking enhancements. Whether you want a soft refresh or more defined shape, we personalise every treatment to your preferences. For subtle results, we offer 0.5ml of Juvederm Volift or 1ml of MaiLi Precise—both designed to deliver soft, natural enhancement. If you’re looking for more volume and definition, options like Juvederm Smile or MaiLi Define can provide a fuller, yet still beautifully balanced result.
How do I know which filler is right for me?
During your consultation, our skilled practitioner will assess your lips, listen to your goals, and recommend the best product — such as Juvederm® Smile or MaiLi Precise — based on desired volume, structure, and longevity.
Can lip fillers help with ageing lips?
Yes! Lip fillers don’t just add volume — they hydrate, smooth fine lines, restore lost structure, and redefine lip borders, which often fade with age.
What happens if I decide not to continue with fillers?
That’s totally fine. The filler naturally breaks down over time. Your lips will gradually return to their pre-treatment appearance without any permanent changes.
Is it possible to dissolve lip filler if I change my mind?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm® and MaiLi can be safely dissolved using an enzyme called Hyaluronidase if ever needed.
When will I see the final results of my lip filler?
Initial results are visible immediately, but it can take up to 1–2 weeks for swelling to fully subside and the filler to settle into its final shape.
How much lip filler will I need?
This depends on your natural lip shape and desired result. Most clients start with 0.5ml to 1ml. Our practitioner will guide you to ensure a balanced and proportionate enhancement.
Is there any age restriction for getting lip fillers?
Yes. You must be at least 18 years old to receive lip fillers at rtwskin Clinic, in line with UK regulations.
Will I look “overdone”?
Not with us. At rtwskin, our philosophy is “natural enhancement.” Our goal is to enhance your beauty — not change your identity. No “trout pout” here!
What type of filler do you use?
We use only premium, FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm®, MaiLi, and Teosyal, which are known for their smooth texture, safety, and long-lasting results.
How should I prepare on the day of treatment?
Arrive with clean skin and avoid alcohol, caffeine, and vigorous exercise that day. Also, it’s best not to arrive on an empty stomach — light food beforehand is recommended.
Can lip fillers trigger cold sores?
Yes, if you are prone to cold sores, the treatment can trigger an outbreak. Let us know in advance — we may prescribe preventative antiviral medication to keep your lips safe.
