Signature or Russian Lips
Lip Glam 101
Lip fillers are an injectable treatment used to enhance lip shape, definition and volume, creating a balanced and natural-looking result.
Lip filler treatments use hyaluronic acid–based dermal fillers, a substance naturally found in the body, to add structure, hydration and softness to the lips. Treatments can be tailored to subtly enhance the natural lip shape, restore volume that has been lost over time, or improve symmetry, while maintaining facial harmony.
Results are visible immediately, with final results developing once any initial swelling has settled. The treatment is carefully planned following a full consultation and facial assessment to ensure suitability, safety and proportionate results. Lip filler can be performed as a standalone treatment or as part of a wider facial rejuvenation plan, depending on individual goals.
Every lip filler treatment begins with an in-depth consultation, where facial proportions, lip anatomy and individual preferences are carefully assessed. The focus is on enhancing the lips in harmony with the rest of the face, rather than creating an overfilled or unnatural appearance.
Product choice, technique and placement are selected specifically for your lips, with a strong emphasis on safety, comfort and refined results. Whether the aim is subtle enhancement or improved structure and definition, treatments are always tailored to achieve a soft, balanced finish that complements your natural features.

THE PROCESS
Russian Lips: The process involves placing tiny droplets of filler, injected vertically into the lip, compared to lines of filler underneath the border. This technique widens, lifts, and opens the lip body without any compromise of projection. The area is numbed using a topical cream to minimise any discomfort, we then inject using our signature technique to create your desired look. We build in stages to ensure we get the right height and lift, once achieved we will show you the final results
