Enhance your lips with a personalised treatment designed to improve volume, hydration, shape, symmetry and definition while complementing your natural facial features.
What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are injectable treatments used to temporarily add volume and definition to the lips. Most lip fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that attracts and retains moisture.
Depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals, lip filler may be used to:
-
Add subtle or noticeable volume
-
Improve lip hydration
-
Define the lip borders and Cupid’s bow
-
Balance uneven or asymmetrical lips
-
Enhance the shape and proportions of the lips
-
Soften the appearance of fine lines around the mouth
Your VC Esthetics provider will assess your lips and recommend an appropriate FDA-approved product and treatment amount based on your desired result.
Treatment Options
Half Syringe
Starting at $299 for new clients
A half syringe may be suitable for clients seeking subtle hydration, gentle definition or a conservative enhancement.
Full Syringe
A full syringe may be recommended for clients who want additional volume, more noticeable shaping or broader correction.
Some clients prefer to begin with a half syringe and build their results gradually during a future appointment. The amount used will depend on your lip anatomy, existing volume and treatment goals.
Benefits
Enhanced Volume
Creates fuller-looking lips while maintaining balanced facial proportions.
Improved Definition
Defines the lip borders and enhances the shape of the Cupid’s bow.
Added Hydration
Hyaluronic acid helps attract moisture, creating a smoother and more hydrated appearance.
Improved Symmetry
May help balance differences between the upper and lower lips or between each side.
Customised Results
Treatment can range from a very subtle enhancement to a fuller, more defined appearance.
What to Expect
Treatment Time: Approximately 15–30 minutes
Comfort: A topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment. Some lip-filler products also contain lidocaine to improve comfort. You may still feel brief pressure, pinching or stinging during the injections.
Initial Results: Additional volume is visible immediately after treatment, although temporary swelling may make the lips appear fuller than the final result.
Final Results: The lips typically begin settling over the following days, with the result more accurately assessed after approximately 1–2 weeks.
Duration: Results commonly last approximately 6–12 months, depending on the selected product, amount injected, metabolism and individual response.
Downtime: Minimal. Swelling, tenderness, redness, firmness and bruising may occur and generally improve as the lips heal. Some effects may last longer than a few days.

Important Safety Information
Possible side effects include swelling, redness, tenderness, pain, bruising, itching, firmness, asymmetry and lumps. Less commonly, infection, delayed inflammatory reactions or migration may occur.
A rare but serious complication can happen if filler enters or compresses a blood vessel. Contact your provider immediately if you experience severe or increasing pain, pale or mottled skin, unusual discolouration, cool skin, blistering or any sudden visual disturbance.
