Lip filler
in Whitley Bay.

Careful lip enhancement. Always starts at 0.5ml. Always reviewed at two weeks.

What to expect.

Lip filler at Refined is built on proportion. Not volume. I start conservative. Usually 0.5ml. Then I review at 2 weeks. We only add what your lips actually need. The goal is a result you’d choose for yourself.

Areas we treat: Shape · Symmetry · Hydration

What it costs.

Filler is priced by volume. Most first-timers need 0.5ml. That’s the answer most clinics won’t give you upfront. They’d rather sell you more.

Two-week review on every treatment. Small top-ups during that review are on the house. Free 30-minute consultation if you’re new.

What it actually is.

Lip filler is hyaluronic acid. The same molecule your body already makes. I inject a small amount at specific points around your lips. It adds structure, hydration and gentle volume.

Hyaluronic acid is the only filler I’ll put in your face. It’s reversible. If you don’t like it, or if I need to adjust it, I can dissolve it with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. That safety net is non-negotiable. I won’t practise without it.

The product I use is premium, prescription-grade. The brand depends on what your lips need. Soft and hydrating for first-timers with delicate lips. Slightly firmer for clients who want more border definition. I’ll tell you which I’m using and why.

Technique matters more than the millilitre. I work with the lips you’ve got. I respect your shape. I balance where you’re uneven. I restore the cupid’s bow if it’s lost definition. The goal is your lips looking like the best version of themselves. Not someone else’s.

You’ve seen the “done” look. The duck shape. The shelf above the lip. The filler migrating into the philtrum. That’s technique, not product. Filler in the wrong layer at the wrong volume always gives that look. I won’t.

From door to done.

First appointment? Proper consultation first. Free. 30 minutes. No needle. We talk about what you want. I look at your lips properly. I’ll be honest about what I think will work.

Treatment day. Kettle on. We do your medical questionnaire and consent. I apply numbing cream. We leave it for 15 minutes. While it works, we run through the plan again. You’ll know exactly where I’m injecting and why.

The injections themselves take 10 minutes. The numbing works. You feel pressure. Not real pain. I work slowly. You can stop me any time to check the mirror. Whole appointment is 45 minutes including numbing.

You leave with a small ice pack and clear aftercare notes. Mild swelling is normal for the first 24 to 48 hours. The real result shows at 14 days. That’s the photo we take.

What I tell everyone.

Common: bruising (sometimes for up to a week). Swelling for 48 hours. Mild tenderness. Small lumps that settle as the filler integrates over 2 to 4 weeks.

Rare but real: vascular occlusion. When filler is placed in or compresses a blood vessel. This is the one I train for hard. I keep dissolving enzyme on site. If anything looks like an occlusion, I act in minutes. Not hours. This is exactly why you should never have lip filler from someone who can’t dissolve their own work.

NMC-registered. Fully indemnified. On the regulators’ lists at NMC, Save Face and JCCP. We cover every risk at consultation.
