Lip Enhancement Adelaide
For centuries the lips have been a marker of beauty. We enhance our lips with liner, colour them with lipstick and enhance their size with liners and plumping agents.
Why Use Cosmetic Medicine for Lip Enhancement?
Gloss and lipstick only help on the surface. Lip treatments however, can restore the natural shape, size and volume to the lips. They improve lip texture and hydration as well as softening and filling in lines and folds around the mouth. They strengthen and sharpen the lip border giving plumpness and fullness to the lips.
All of this can be achieved through cosmetic medicine and the aid of lip treatments.

What Areas DoES LIP THERAPY Treat?
As we age, some of our natural beauty markers are lost and the following common symptoms occur:
- The lips thin and lose volume
- The lips may become ill defined
- Fine lines may develop around the lips and disrupt the border
- The V-shaped area in the centre of the lips known as the cupids bow flattens
- The corners of the mouth may turn down into a ‘frown’
- Volume may also be lost in the area surrounding the lips, known as the marionette area
If you are concerned about any of these areas or have another goal to achieve with your lips, please speak to one of our experienced and qualified team as lip treatments may provide the solution that you are looking for.
How Long do the Effects of Lip Enhancement Last?
Lip treatments usually last anywhere from 6 to 12 months depending on the individual and other factors including lifestyle and how quickly your metabolism breaks down the lip treatment since the product is made from naturally occurring products found in our bodies.
Lip Flips
Lip flips are also popular at our Adelaide clinic. Where our lip enhancement procedures generally involve using lip treatments, a lip flip involves using relaxers which relax the muscles around your lip. This then creates an outward ‘flip’ which creates the appearance of fuller and plumper lips.
Do Lip Enhancements Hurt?
During the treatment, you may feel a stinging sensation or slight pinch when the product is being applied.
What is the Downtime After a Lip Enhancement Procedure?
Everyone has various recovery times.
Swelling generally reduces after 2 days post treatment and most of our clients immediately get back to their daily routines. We also recommend not wearing any makeup post treatment to reduce the risk of infection.
You can apply ice to the treated area and drink plenty of water. Avoid spicy foods and strenuous exercise.
Have lip treatments at least 4 weeks before any big event.
