01Lip Enhancement
Lip filler at Silk Clinical Aesthetics is about enhancing your natural lip shape and volume, not creating a one-size-fits-all look. Our registered nurses specialise in tailored lip treatments that range from subtle hydration to more defined enhancement.
Individual results vary. Your plan and timing are confirmed at consultation.
Lip filler in Christchurch at Silk Clinical Aesthetics uses hyaluronic acid to enhance lip shape, hydration, and volume. Treatment takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes with minimal downtime. Pricing starts from $350 for 0.5ml or $500 for 1ml. Results are immediate, settle over 2 weeks, and typically last 6 to 12 months. Performed by registered nurses focused on natural, balanced results.
Lip filler uses hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler to enhance the volume, shape, and definition of the lips. Whether you want a subtle boost in hydration and fullness or more noticeable enhancement, the treatment is fully customisable to your goals and facial proportions.
Your nurse will inject small amounts of hyaluronic acid filler into precise locations within the lips. By controlling the placement, depth, and volume of filler, we can enhance lip volume, define the lip border (vermillion border), improve symmetry, smooth fine lines around the mouth, and create a more proportionate lip shape relative to your facial features.
Treatment takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. We apply a topical numbing cream beforehand, and the filler itself contains lidocaine for comfort. Your nurse will mark injection points and discuss the plan before beginning. Most clients find the procedure very manageable.
Results are visible immediately, though expect swelling for 2 to 5 days (sometimes up to 2 weeks). The final result is best assessed at 2 weeks once all swelling has resolved. Lip filler typically lasts 6 to 12 months. Bruising is possible and usually resolves within a week.
02Pricing
All prices are in NZD and are a guide; your final quote is confirmed at consultation, and individual dosage varies.
03Why Silk Clinical
Registered nurses with specialist lip injection training.
Personalised approach based on your facial proportions and goals.
Natural results, from subtle to statement.
Premium hyaluronic acid fillers with built-in anaesthetic for comfort.
Dissolvable products for complete peace of mind.
This depends on your starting point and goals. Many first-time clients start with 0.5ml for a subtle enhancement, while 1ml provides a more noticeable result. Your nurse will recommend the right amount during your consultation.
We apply numbing cream before treatment, and the filler contains lidocaine (anaesthetic). Most clients describe the sensation as a slight pressure or pinch. Comfort levels vary, but the procedure is generally well tolerated.
Lip filler typically lasts 6 to 12 months. The lip area has high movement and blood flow, which can mean filler metabolises faster here than in other facial areas.
Our nurses specialise in natural lip enhancement. We assess your facial proportions and existing lip shape to create a result that suits you. We always prefer a conservative approach, as it is easier to add more than to correct overfilling.
Hyaluronic acid lip filler can be dissolved using hyaluronidase enzyme. This provides a complete safety net. However, with careful consultation and a skilled injector, this is rarely needed.
Arrive with clean skin and no lip products. Bruising risk is lower if you avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment; if you take blood-thinning medication or supplements, mention it at consultation rather than stopping anything on your own. Plan around the swelling window: results settle over 2 weeks, so book at least a fortnight ahead of any significant event.
↳Before and after
We only publish real, consented, unedited patient imagery: same lighting and angle in both frames, timepoint stated, nothing retouched.
Our consented before-and-after gallery is being photographed now. We would rather show you nothing than show you a stock image or a result that is not ours. If you want to see examples relevant to your concern in the meantime, ask at your consultation.
↳Worth knowing about
Most well-built treatment plans use more than one tool. The device below is the one we lean on most often alongside this treatment. The rationale for the pairing is explained below.
↳South Island Exclusive
Lip filler restores volume. Volnewmer maintains the skin envelope around it. We see better long-term filler outcomes in clients who pair the two, because the surrounding skin holds shape rather than stretching around new product. The skin-tightening conversation belongs in your filler plan.
