Lip enhancements are a non-surgical procedure which adds volume, shape, and fullness to the lips for aesthetic enhancement. Lip enhancement treatments can restore lost volume, treat signs of aging, and give the lips a fuller, plumper, and smoother appearance.
Hydrating lip enhancement procedures performed in our Darwin & Brisbane clinics offer an effective way to enhance the lips and address common concerns such as lack of volume or asymmetric lips – they can also be used to define the edges of the lips and sharpen the cupid’s bow.
Our experienced team of Cosmetic Nurses conduct a thorough pre treatment consultation to understand your medical history and asses your facial anatomy to ensure your treatment achieves your desired results.
You’ll have the option of proceeding with the treatment on the same day if you wish or you can schedule it for a later date.
Due to legislative requirements by our governing bodies, we require you express your interest by providing us with your email address before viewing any before and after photos. Enter your details below to be instantly taken to our before and after gallery.
Your first visit includes a comprehensive facial assessment with a qualified cosmetic nurse. During this time, we will explore your lip enhancement goals, assess your facial anatomy, and develop a tailored plan.
If appropriate, you may proceed with your lip enhancement treatment on the same day, or schedule it for a future date. All consultations are private and complimentary.
You shouldn’t need to schedule any downtime after undergoing a lip enhancement treatment – however you may experience a numb sensation around your mouth from the anaesthetic – so please avoid hot drinks and eating until this wears off.

One of the most common questions we get from our clients is ‘how long will my lip enhancement treatment last?’.
Unfortunately it’s not possible to give a 100% accurate prediction of how long your lip enhancement results will last as the timeframe can vary depending on each individuals metabolism and history of previous treatments.
As a general guide you can expect your lips to retain their fuller appearance for around 6-15 months.
You don’t need to continue to undergo lip enhancement treatments after this period if you choose not to and your lips will gradually return to their previous appearance.
However, if you want to maintain your lip volume, you’ll need to book in with us again for a follow up treatment.
Before undergoing lip enhancement treatment we want you to be completely informed so our cosmetic injector will thoroughly explain the potential risks and complications of the procedure. Common side effects can include redness, itching, swelling, bruising or tenderness around the lips which all typically subside within a few days.
If you experience any inflammatory or other reactions that last more than 1 week, you should notify your doctor or nurse immediately. If necessary, appropriate treatment may be prescribed. We are here to support you
