Thin, badly shaped, or asymmetrical lips can often give a stern or sad appearance, and are sometimes perceived as a sign of ageing.

Frequently asked questions
What are Lip enhancements?
Lip enhancements seek to create fuller lips that are voluminous and have a well-defined, sufficiently wide and symmetrical contour.
How to get fuller lips?
Causes of volume loss in the lips
- Genetics: the shape and thickness of the lips is primarily determined by hereditary factors.
- Natural ageing: The loss of skin’s natural elasticity and tone leads to a loss of volume in the lips, as well as facial sagging.
- The sun: the sun’s UV rays damage skin cells and accelerate ageing over the long term. The sun also contributes to dehydration.
- Tobacco: nicotine slows down the body’s production of hyaluronic acid, causing tissues to dry out and lose tone.
Solutions for plump lips
Despite its unknown benefits, lip gymnastics is one of the daily gestures that can help maintain the volume of the mouth. For example, pronouncing the alphabet every morning by accentuating the pronunciation of syllables, can help to build up the muscles of the lips, making them fuller and preventing the appearance of wrinkles.
We also recommend brushing your lips every morning using a toothbrush, to reactivate blood circulation and get rid of dead skin. Last but not least, moisturizing the lips is very important to ensure effective tissue regeneration and slow down the ageing process. Make sure you apply moisturizing lip balms regularly.
Luscious lips can also be accentuated by make-up, although the illusion will never be perfect. For example, lip liners can give the impression of volume, by improving light capture. Exfoliating the lips can also be very effective, removing dead skin and making them smoother.
If these solutions don’t seem sufficient, professional treatments such as HydraFacial® or hyaluronic acid injections are recommended. In fact, the two can complement each other, although it is entirely possible to carry out just one of the two treatments. The HydraFacial® treatment provides in-depth nourishment for the lips and face, for a harmonious and rejuvenated effect. Injections, on the other hand, are effective in making up for any loss of volume. Their effect remains visible for 6 to 18 months. The treatment acts on the outward appearance of the mouth, in particular its color and radiance, while hyaluronic acid corrects lip volume in depth by filling in natural sagging.
How is care provided?
For a medical treatment such as hyaluronic acid injections, your journey begins with an initial consultation with a qualified doctor. During this visit, you’ll learn about the procedure, expected results, possible side effects, and have the chance to discuss any questions or concerns.
Your specialist will help clarify your goals and assess your needs, then recommend the approach best suited to you. This first appointment also serves to confirm the treatment plan and schedule the injection session.
How much do lip enhancements cost?
The price of a HydraFacial® treatment ranges from 145€ to 295€, while you can also subscribe for several sessions. Hyaluronic acid injections start at €245 and vary according to the area to be treated and the quantity injected.
