Lip Augmentation

Enhanced Lip Volume

Restore Volume • Enhance Shape • Define Your Natural Beauty

Lip augmentation — often called lip filler treatment, is a popular and effective way to restore lost volume, improve definition, and subtly enhance the shape of your lips. At Glowing by Leah in Stroud and Andover, we specialise in natural-looking lip enhancement using premium, biocompatible hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers.

Whether you're looking to restore youthful fullness, smooth out vertical lip lines, or achieve a more balanced pout, our treatments are fully tailored to your facial structure and aesthetic goals. We offer both the Russian lip technique and the Classic lip filler technique, allowing for precision shaping and customised results.

Our expertly administered fillers can:

✔ Add volume and structure to both the lip border and body
✔ Improve definition for a more sculpted, harmonious appearance
✔ Soften fine lines around the mouth (upper and lower lip lines)
✔ Gently upturn mouth corners and enhance lip symmetry
✔ Support a gradual lip-building plan if you’re seeking fuller results over time

Treatment Time: Up to 15 minutes
Results: Immediate, with continued settling over the following days
Longevity: Typically lasts 6–12 months, depending on metabolism, lifestyle, and product used

All treatments are preceded by a full consultation and assessment to ensure your lips are safely and beautifully enhanced in line with your natural features.

Russian vs Classic: Which Technique is Right for You?

We offer multiple lip augmentation methods, our two main techniques are — Russian Lips and Classic Lips — each delivering different results based on your unique facial features and personal preferences.

Classic Technique

The Classic lip enhancement technique is perfect for those looking to add subtle volume and achieve a fuller, rounded lip shape without compromising natural contours. By evenly distributing volume across both the upper and lower lips, this method provides a balanced, timeless look that enhances natural beauty.

Volume Distribution

  • This approach involves evenly spreading filler along the lips, ensuring proportional volume between the upper and lower lips.
  • Ideal for those with naturally thinner lips or individuals seeking an understated enhancement that doesn’t alter their overall facial aesthetics.

Injection Method

  • Placement: Fillers are carefully injected along the natural lip lines and the vermillion border, often following a horizontal pattern. This placement accentuates the lips’ natural curves and enhances definition.
  • Technique: This Classic method allows for larger amounts of filler to be injected during a single session, making it both a quick and effective option for achieving fuller lips in minimal time.

The Results

  • Look: The final appearance is full yet subtle, with a natural contour that maintains the original lip shape while adding volume.
  • Longevity: Results can last between 6-12 months, depending on individual factors and lifestyle choices.*
  • Suitability: This technique is ideal for those who desire classic, balanced lip enhancement—perfect for clients looking to subtly boost volume without a dramatic change.
Less Swelling, a more natural appearance

Russian Technique

A more dramatic, high-fashion look!

High-Definition Lips with a Heart-Shaped Curve

The Russian technique creates a striking, heart-shaped lip with a well-defined cupid’s bow, inspired by the look of Russian nesting dolls for a beautifully contoured finish.

Volume Distribution
This method focuses on adding volume to the center of the lips, achieving a vertical lift that enhances the shape and creates a flat yet defined cupid’s bow.

Injection Method

  • Placement: Filler is primarily injected into the central part of the lips, moving outward. The injections are often applied vertically, working from the lip border toward the interior for precise sculpting.
  • Technique: Using smaller amounts of filler per injection, this meticulous approach offers control and precision, giving the lips a defined, contoured shape. The Russian technique takes a bit more time than the classic style but delivers a more sculpted look.

Results

  • Look: The result is a highly contoured, doll-like appearance with enhanced, sharper lip edges. From the front, the lips look lifted and defined, while from the side, they may appear slightly flatter.
  • Suitability: Ideal for those desiring a bold, high-fashion look with a dramatic contour, especially for individuals with naturally defined lip structures.

Before And Aftercare

IMPORTANT

As much as I can give you solid advice, remember everyone is different, therefore, if you need further guidance, then please contact me directly.

Pre-care advice 

avoid alcohol 24 hours before tour treatment.

Avoid aspirin, fish oils, omega 3 and ibuprofen 48 hours before your treatment. 

Avoid facial treatments 2 weeks before your filler, including micro needling and peels.

Aftercare advice

1: Don’t expect initial fullness to stay the same.

Swelling after lip filler is normal and the size of your lips immediately after treatment is not a true reflection of the final result. Swelling can last between a few hours or day, possibly longer, depending on multiple factors. Don’t be disheartened that in a week or two, you feel like it's all gone! This is the swelling that’s disappeared not your filler. 

2: How to reduce swelling after lip fillers.

Apply ice to treated area

Drink plenty of water

Eat healthy foods like fruits & vegetables. Vitamins and minerals will assist with the healing process.

Avoid strenuous exercise and extreme hot temperatures for 24-48 hours post treatment

3: Don’t fly too soon after getting Injectables.

Do not to fly internationally for at least 2 weeks after. This helps ensure you have a full recovery.

4: Leave plenty of time for injectables prior to a big event, like a wedding.

Like everything associated with a big event, it’s all about planning!

Start a new treatment well before a big event. We recommend allowing at least 3 weeks for your treatment to settle. If you’re a first time injectables client, we recommend 4-6 weeks prior to the event.

Remember, everyone is different, and results vary between individuals.

How long do lip fillers last? 

Well that is a big question. Everybody is different with different metabolisms. Therefore, it’s hard to say however, most lip fillers last up to 6 months. But this does depend on lifestyle, stress, exercise and diet. We recommend follow ups from 6-12 months. 

Avoid:

  • Processed foods or fast foods
  • Heavy activity or exercise for the first two days after treatment
  • Excess salt – it makes you dehydrated!
  • Spicy foods
  • Blood-thinning medications, including aspirin and ibuprofen.
  • Smoking and smoke exposure
  • Alcohol for 24 Hours
  • Sun exposure including sun beds for 2 weeks.
  • Smoking and vapes for 4 hours after treatment. 
  • Heavy exercise for 48 Hours after.
  • Blood thinning medications for 48 hours.
  • Do not wear any makeup for 12 hours following treatment.
  • Keep the area as clean as possible 
  • Microneedling, peels and facial treatments for 2 weeks post procedure.

Arnica cream and tablets can be used to reduce bruising.

Bruising and swelling is a known side effect of fillers, predominantly in lip fillers. There will be increased swelling and bruising for the first 48-72 hours after. This should have subsided by 14 days and lumps and bumps should reduce and the filler should of settled. If this is not the case, please contact me.

FAQ's
