Lip Boosters in Redhill
Lip boosters are designed to improve the hydration, smoothness and overall quality of the lips, rather than significantly increasing their size or changing their shape. They can be a good option for lips that feel dry, look dehydrated or have begun to show fine lines and a loss of smoothness.
Using a skin-quality focused treatment, the aim is to replenish hydration within the lips and create a softer, smoother and more refreshed appearance, while maintaining your natural lip shape and proportions.
At Summer House Wellness, lip boosters are approached with a subtle and considered philosophy. The treatment is about improving the quality of your lips rather than adding noticeable volume, making it an option for clients who want a fresher appearance without traditional lip augmentation.
Lip Boosters vs Lip Filler
Although both treatments may contain hyaluronic acid, lip boosters and lip fillers have different purposes.
Lip Booster
A lip booster is primarily focused on skin quality and hydration. It can help improve the appearance of dry, dehydrated or finely lined lips, leaving them feeling softer and looking smoother and more refreshed.
The intention is not to significantly increase lip volume or alter the shape of your lips.
Lip Filler
Lip filler is designed to add volume and/or definition to the lips. Depending on the technique and product used, it can be used to enhance lip fullness, improve definition, restore lost volume or alter aspects of lip shape and proportion. HA fillers have established evidence for increasing lip fullness.
Which is right for me?
It depends on what you are hoping to achieve. If your main concern is hydration, texture or the overall condition of your lips, a lip booster may be more appropriate. If you are looking to increase volume, enhance definition or change the shape of your lips, lip filler may be the better option.
Your goals and individual lip anatomy will be discussed during your consultation so that the most appropriate treatment can be recommended.
Lip boosters use an injectable skin-quality treatment to introduce hyaluronic acid into the lips. Hyaluronic acid has the ability to attract and retain water, helping to support hydration within the treated tissue.
Unlike a traditional dermal filler, the treatment is designed primarily to improve skin quality rather than create structural volume. The result is intended to be subtle, with improvements in hydration, softness and smoothness rather than a visibly larger lip.
How do Lip Boosters work?
Who May be suitable?
Lip boosters may be suitable for adults who would like to improve the hydration and overall appearance of their lips without significantly changing their natural shape or adding noticeable volume.
They may be particularly suited to lips that appear dry, dehydrated or finely lined, or for clients who want a subtle refresh rather than traditional lip augmentation.
Your suitability will be assessed during your consultation, taking into consideration your lip anatomy, skin quality, medical history, previous treatments and desired outcome.
Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss what you would like to improve and whether a lip booster is the right treatment for you.
I will assess your natural lip shape, proportions, hydration and skin quality, and we will discuss whether your goals are better suited to a hydration-focused lip booster or a more volumising treatment such as dermal filler.
We will also discuss your medical history, previous treatments, allergies and any relevant medications or supplements. The treatment process, expected results, potential side effects, aftercare and recommended treatment course will all be explained before you decide whether to proceed.
The aim is to make sure you understand the difference between lip hydration and lip augmentation, and that the treatment chosen is appropriate for your individual goals.
What To Expect At The Consultation
What to expect with Lip Boosters
Treatment time: 30-45 minutesWhat to Expect: Small injections are made into the lips to deliver the treatment. You may experience some temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising following treatment. The lips can be particularly prone to swelling after injectable treatments, so some initial puffiness is to be expected.Results: Results are intended to be subtle, with the lips appearing more hydrated, smoother and refreshed rather than significantly larger. The final appearance will develop as any initial swelling settles and the treatment takes effect.Treatment Course: Depending on the product used and your individual needs, a course of treatments may be recommended initially, followed by maintenance treatments to help support the results. The appropriate treatment schedule will be discussed during your consultation.
Treatment After Care
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and significant heat exposure for the first 24–48 hours, as these can increase swelling and redness.
Redness, tenderness, swelling and bruising can occur following lip injections. The lips can swell noticeably after treatment, but this should gradually settle as the area recovers.
Follow the specific skincare or lip-care advice provided after treatment and avoid products that may irritate the lips while they are settling.
Try not to unnecessarily touch, rub or massage your lips immediately following treatment. Allow the injection sites time to settle naturally.
FAQs
1
Will Lip Boosters make my lips bigger?
A lip booster is primarily designed to improve hydration and skin quality, rather than significantly increase lip volume. You may notice that hydrated lips look a little fuller or smoother, but it should not produce the same volumising effect as lip filler.
What is the difference between lip booster and lip filler?
2
Lip boosters focus primarily on hydration, softness and skin quality, while lip filler is designed to add volume and/or definition. If you want noticeably fuller lips or a change in shape, lip filler is generally the more appropriate treatment.
How long do Lip Booster results last?
3
The longevity of results varies depending on the product used, your individual lips and how your body responds to treatment. A course followed by periodic maintenance may be recommended to help maintain improvements in hydration and skin quality.
Can I have Lip Boosters if I’ve previously had filler?
4
In many cases, a lip booster can be considered for someone who has previously had lip filler, as the treatments have different purposes. However, your lips will be assessed during your consultation, including any existing filler, before deciding whether treatment is appropriate.
