When it comes to feeling more confident in your appearance, many people explore non-surgical treatments to support their natural features. One of the more commonly requested cosmetic aesthetic treatments focuses on the lips—especially as we age and begin to notice changes in volume, definition, and hydration.

What Happens to Lips Over Time?

As we mature, our lips may begin to appear thinner or less defined. This is a natural part of the ageing process and is often due to changes in collagen, elastin, and hydration levels in the skin. You may also notice fine lines forming around the mouth or a loss of colour and structure.

While these changes are normal, some individuals choose to explore treatment options that may help support a more hydrated or contoured appearance.

How Cosmetic Aesthetic Treatments May Help

There are therapeutic options available that can help improve lip definition or support volume in specific areas of the lips. These treatments typically use a gel-like substance containing hyaluronic acid—a substance that occurs naturally in the body.

This substance is introduced into the lips through a medical procedure performed by a qualified health practitioner. The goal of treatment is to support your natural lip shape, balance proportions, and help address specific concerns such as asymmetry or fine lines.

It’s important to note that results vary from person to person and that all medical treatments involve potential risks and considerations. This is why a consultation with a qualified clinician is necessary prior to undergoing any cosmetic procedure.

Common Questions About Lip Augmentation Treatments

How long do results last?
Results may vary depending on the individual’s metabolism, product type, and other factors. In many cases, the effects are temporary and can gradually diminish over several months. Ongoing treatment may be required to maintain your preferred look.

How long does it take to settle?
After treatment, temporary swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur. These effects typically resolve on their own over a few days to two weeks. Your clinician will provide personalised aftercare advice during your consultation.

Am I a suitable candidate?
Your practitioner will take a detailed medical history and assess your lip structure, goals, and any concerns before recommending a treatment approach. Not everyone is suited for this type of treatment, and alternative options may be suggested.
