What Are Lip Fillers and How Do They Work?

Lip fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a molecule naturally found in the skin that attracts water and promotes hydration. As we age, hyaluronic acid levels gradually decline, resulting in reduced volume, less elasticity, and fine lines.

By carefully restoring that lost volume, lip fillers can:

 

  • Add fullness without compromising the natural shape
  • Define lip borders and correct asymmetry
  • Smooth fine lines and hydrate dry or ageing lips

Different formulations of hyaluronic acid are available, each with its own texture and firmness level. During your consultation, the right filler will be selected to match your needs and the look you hope to achieve. For those exploring broader facial rejuvenation, Dr. Jonny also offers some of the best dermal fillers in London tailored to enhance cheeks, jawlines, and more.

With over 16 years of aesthetic experience, Dr. Jonny brings a precise, evidence-based approach to every treatment. His work is shaped by a deep understanding of facial anatomy, expert injector technique, and, most importantly, your personal goals.

  • Completely bespoke – Every face is unique. So is every treatment.
  • Product-neutral – Dr. Jonny selects only the most appropriate filler based on your skin, not the brand.
  • Scientifically informed – Products are chosen after thorough research for safety, longevity, and results.
  • Subtle but effective – The goal is to look refreshed and harmonious, not “done.”

Your Lip Filler Treatment Journey

Step 1: The Consultation

The process begins with an honest conversation about your facial structure, skin condition, and desired results. This ensures a clear treatment plan with realistic expectations.

Step 2: The Treatment
A topical anaesthetic minimises discomfort. The filler is precisely injected using a fine needle or cannula to enhance volume, shape, or hydration. The entire process usually takes 20–30 minutes.

Step 3: Aftercare and Results
You may experience slight swelling or bruising for a few days. Final results typically settle within a week and last between 6 and 12 months, depending on the product used and your metabolism.

Caring for Your Lips After Treatment

To ensure your results last as long as possible:

  • Avoid vigorous exercise, heat exposure, or alcohol for 24 hours
  • Refrain from touching or massaging the area
  • Keep lips moisturised and stay hydrated
  • Follow any specific instructions provided by the clinic

Once the filler integrates with your tissue, you’ll see an immediate improvement in lip volume and definition, with a soft, natural feel.

More Than Just Lip Fillers

Dr. Jonny’s Wandsworth Clinic also offers a full range of skin rejuvenation services to support your aesthetic goals. Treatments like Dermapen microneedling can improve skin texture and boost collagen, which is ideal for pairing with lip fillers for a refreshed, youthful appearance.
