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
Leah was amazing and made me feel so welcome. It was a lovely experience, she really listened to what i wanted to achieve with my lip filler and they came out amazing!
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.
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.

As much as I can give you solid advice, remember everyone is different, therefore, if you need further guidance, then please contact me directly.
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.
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.
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.
Lip fillers are injectable treatments made from hyaluronic acid — a naturally occurring substance in the body that adds hydration and volume. When expertly applied, they enhance the shape, definition, and fullness of your lips while maintaining a soft, natural look.
Not at all. At Glowing by Leah, we specialise in natural-looking lip enhancements. Every treatment is tailored to your facial proportions and personal goals, ensuring balanced, subtle results that simply enhance what you already have.

Most clients find the procedure very tolerable. We use premium fillers that contain lidocaine (a local anaesthetic) and apply a numbing cream beforehand to ensure your comfort throughout.
