What is Lip Hydration?
Lip Hydration is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment designed to improve the moisture, texture, and overall appearance of the lips. It replenishes natural hydration, giving lips a soft, smooth, and youthful look.
The Treatment Process
During the treatment, a specialised hydrating solution containing hyaluronic acid is carefully injected into the lips using fine needles. The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes and is performed by a trained practitioner in a clinical setting. Minimal discomfort is experienced, often managed with a topical numbing cream.
How the Treatment Works
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture. When injected into the lips, it increases hydration, improves elasticity, and enhances natural volume without drastically changing the shape of your lips.
