When your lips project a look that isn't yours
Refine them with medical precision.
It’s more than just volume — it’s what your lips represent
When your lips lack natural size or thin over time, it can feel like your appearance and sense of self no longer align. Lack of fullness results from structural changes and genetics, not your lifestyle or health.
Surface efforts aren't the full solution
Lip tattoo and over-lining add colour or gloss, but they don’t rebuild the architecture beneath. True refinement comes from treatments that target volume and architecture, working with your anatomy, not against it.
This isn’t about change, it’s about Identity Alignment™
Refining your lips isn’t about looking "done" or artificial. It’s about achieving balance and hydration that allow your smile to look refreshed, healthy, and aligned with how you feel, while preserving natural movement.
The Undetectable Standard™ at every step
Our experienced clinicians personalise treatment to your anatomy and goals, achieving undetectable results with clear guidance and ongoing care through our doctor-led 3-Pillar Framework™.

Top lip & Cupid's bow
The shape and definition of the top lip and Cupid’s bow are assessed in relation to the lower lip and overall facial proportions. We can precisely refine each feature for balance, while also addressing specific concerns such as a thinner top lip or age-related loss of fullness.
Bottom lip
The lower lip is assessed for its height, curvature, definition and projection relative to the top lip and chin. Treatments can add fullness, define the vermilion border, and optimise lip-to-chin balance while refining the ideal top-to-bottom lip ratio.

How do medical lip treatments work?
Lip treatments are non-surgical cosmetic procedures designed to add volume, definition, and hydration to the lips. To do this, they use various methods that focus on dermal structure and volume.
Treatment can also smooth fine lines around the mouth, define the cupid’s bow, address concerns about asymmetry (whether naturally occurring, or resulting from trauma), resulting in a fuller, more balanced look.
There are 6 steps we use to assess your lips when determining the most appropriate treatment methods for your needs.
Refers to how tall your top and bottom lips are.
How far forward your lips project.
The proportional relationship between your top and bottom lips, in height and projection, is often linked to the so-called “Golden Ratio” or Phi Ratio.
However, these concepts are outdated, as there is no universally ideal ratio. We carefully assess your facial features and listen to your goals to determine the lip proportions that best suit your desired aesthetic.
The evenness between left and right sides of your lips.
The size and shape of your lips relative to your facial structure.
The sharpness of the vermilion border of your top and bottom lip.
The specific methods used to add volume to your lips are determined during your consultation, to ensure you receive recommendations that align with your unique needs.
Goals beyond volume: Texture and hydration
While many seek treatment to enhance size, the true artistry lies in improving the lip’s overall texture, smoothness, and health. The supportive products we use can offer hydration benefits that go beyond simple plumping:
- Deep hydration: The materials applied are specifically formulated to attract and retain moisture within the lip tissue, reducing the appearance of dryness and surface texture.
- Natural softness: The ultimate goal is a lip that is not only defined but also feels soft, supple, and naturally hydrated, whether at rest or in movement.
Lip treatments can focus purely on hydration, or combine a hydration and volumising approach, depending on your specific goals.
Masculine lip contouring and definition
Lip treatments are an option for men seeking balance and definition. The approach differs significantly from feminine lip enhancement, focusing on structure and proportion rather than height or curve.
- Balance over volume: The priority is to optimise lip ratios. As men naturally have thinner top lips, often they want to focus treatment on the upper lip so it better matches the bottom one.
- Border crispness: Focus on sharpening the border and philtrum columns to provide definition without excessive curvature or height.
- Proportionality: Ensuring the lips remain proportional to other masculine features, such as the jawline and chin, to maintain a strong, balanced look.
Vertical lip refinement and Cupid’s Bow definition: Lip techniques from Russia
This specialised technique focuses on refining the central lip anatomy to create a lifted, more defined upper lip structure.
This highly aesthetic is achieved by strategically supporting the lip border and prioritising the vertical orientation of the lip tissue. The goals of this precise technique are:
- Sharpened Cupid’s Bow: Creating crisp, well-defined points along the central upper lip.
- Lifted appearance: Offering a subtle vertical lift that exposes more of the pink vermillion border.
- Structure: Establishing a defined architectural foundation that emphasizes shape over overall outward volume. This requires advanced technique and a thorough understanding of lip anatomy.

Lip treatments are a non-surgical cosmetic methods designed to adjust the volume, shape, and definition of the lips. Treatments may address various concerns, whether due to natural development, or changes with age.
Determining whether lip treatments are right for you requires a consultation, however some reasons why you may seek a lip consultation include concerns about:
- Size and plumpness
- Top lip thinning when smiling and laughing
- Lip and Cupid’s bow definition
- Dehydration and dry lips
- Changes that have developed with ageing
- Lip asymmetry
Yes. The technique is tailored to prioritise structure, crispness, and a proportional profile, avoiding feminine height and curve.
When undergoing lip treatments initially there will be a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and for the practitioner to assess your lip structure.
Depending on your assessment, various methods are then used to adjust the appearance of your lips in line with your goals and expectations.
Treatments are designed to be convenient and steps are taken to reduce discomfort.
The Cupid’s bow refers to the vermillion border of your upper lip. This is because when turned on the side, it resembles the bow of Cupid.
The Russian Lip technique focuses on creating a more defined and lifted lip shape with a flatter profile.
It’s is typically an option for people who want increased lip height and a crisp border, rather than added forward projection.
A lip flip is a subtle way to refine the appearance of the upper lip by relaxing the muscles around the mouth.
This allows the lip to gently roll outward, revealing more of the pink surface for a fuller, balanced look.
The cost of lip volume treatment varies depending on your individual needs, which can only be determined after an assessment. If you’d like pricing information, you can:

- Schedule a consultation for a personalised treatment plan and quote.
People’s experiences of discomfort vary, but most report only mild discomfort with non-surgical lip treatments.
Most treatments involve the use of various numbing methods to minimise discomfort.
There are a number of numbing options for lip treatments. They include:
- Numbing cream
- Numbing injections
- Cold
Yes. The products used attract and bind moisture within the lip tissue, leading to a softer, smoother, and more hydrated appearance alongside any volume enhancement.
The time until results are visible depends on the specific methods used to treat your lips.
Typically, most lip treatments achieve the final result in days to weeks.
The longevity of lip treatments varies depending on the methods used, but most results fade over months to years. The duration also depends on your metabolism and various lifestyle factors.
The longevity of your lip treatment results depends on the method and extent. There is also some evidence that maintenance treatments may increase the longevity of the effect.
After lip treatments, it’s common to experience some mild and temporary swelling, as well as potential tenderness or slight bruising at the treatment sites lasting a few days.
It’s common to experience some swelling after a lip treatment, but it’s usually mild. This initial swelling typically subsides fairly quickly, often within a few days of the procedure. While it can temporarily make the lips appear fuller than the final result, it’s a normal part of the healing process.
Depending on the treatment method, you may notice small lumps after your procedure. These are often related to swelling and resolve over days to weeks as the area heals.
Persistent lumps may be due to a range of causes, and should be assessed by your treating clinician if they do not improve, or become painful or inflamed.
Lip treatments are generally considered low-risk when performed by a qualified and experienced medical professional.
As with any cosmetic treatment, there are typically minor, temporary side effects that can occur, such as localised bruising, swelling, or tenderness at the treatment sites. Serious complications like infections are uncommon.
