What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are a simple, non-surgical way to enhance your lip shape—adding soft volume, restoring balance, or simply giving a more defined look. Using hyaluronic acid, a substance already found in your skin, this treatment helps hydrate and plump the lips with beautiful, natural-looking results.
Whether you're after subtle enhancement or more noticeable volume, our expert-led treatments are designed around you.
What Lip Fillers Can Do for You
At the Institute of Medical Physics, we provide expertly tailored lip filler treatments designed to enhance your natural beauty. Whether you’re seeking a subtle refresh or more defined lip volume, our treatment offers versatile solutions.
Common Goals for Lip Enhancement in London:
- Lip augmentation: Add fullness and volume for a youthful, plump look.
- Lip enhancement: Define the lip border or Cupid’s bow for improved shape.
- Asymmetry correction: Balance uneven lips for a harmonious appearance.
- Hydration boost: Smooth dry or wrinkled lips by attracting moisture.
- Rejuvenation: Restore lips affected by age-related thinning.
Each treatment is fully customised to suit your face, using dermal fillers to deliver safe, precise, and natural-looking results.
How Does Lip Filler Treatment Work?
Unlike invasive procedures or overdone aesthetic trends, our treatment is grounded in medical science and natural results. Using advanced dermal fillers, we shape, hydrate, and enhance the lips with precision—without compromising your natural beauty.
Traditional approaches often relied on excessive volume or outdated filler products, leading to stiff, artificial results. These older methods could create uneven texture, prolonged swelling, or distortion of the lips’ natural anatomy—particularly when performed in non-clinical environments.
Our approach is different. Every procedure is carried out by medically trained professionals using premium, reversible cosmetic dermal fillers formulated for smooth integration. The acid attracts moisture to the lips, resulting in instant, soft volume and a subtle plumping effect.
Because our technique is refined and our products biocompatible, patients enjoy:
- Minimal swelling or bruising
- Immediate, visible enhancement
- Results that move naturally with facial expression
By combining aesthetic expertise with clinical safety, our treatments deliver smoother, fuller lips with a natural look—without downtime or unnecessary risk.
Treatment Overview
At the Institute of Medical Physics, we ensure your journey is smooth, safe, and designed around your unique goals. Here’s what to expect before, during, and after the procedure:

During your initial consultation, our trained medical professionals will assess your lip shape, symmetry, and aesthetic goals to determine the best dermal filler treatment for a balanced, natural look.

The treatment typically takes 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the amount of filler required and your desired level of enhancement.

A topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort. During the procedure, you may feel a slight pinch or pressure as the lip injections are precisely placed.

There is minimal downtime. Some swelling or redness is normal and usually resolves within 24–48 hours. Bruising is rare and typically mild.

Results are visible immediately after treatment, with final results settling within a few days.

Our clinic provides comprehensive aftercare advice and ongoing support to ensure your results remain smooth and symmetrical.

With our advanced technique, most patients enjoy results that last 6–12 months, with the flexibility to maintain or adjust over time.
