How we approach it

Good lip work respects the lip you already have. We numb thoroughly, work slowly, and aim for definition and hydration before volume. Most first-time guests leave with half a syringe and come back for the rest only if they want it.

Often a good fit for

• Lips that have thinned with age
• Asymmetry or an undefined border
• Dryness and fine vertical lines
• Subtle enhancement that photographs well

Things we will discuss first

• Swelling peaks at 48 hours, so plan around events
• History of cold sores may need antiviral cover
• Overfilling is the most common regret. We will say no.
• You must be 18 or older. Results vary, and a consultation is required before any treatment.

The visit

1. Consultation. Complimentary, 30 minutes, with the person who would treat you. You leave with a written plan and total.
2. Treatment. About 45 minutes. Numbing where it helps, photographs with your consent, aftercare in writing.
3. Follow-up. A two-week check for injectables, with adjustments at no charge. Skin and laser series are planned on a calendar with you.
