Lip Rejuvenation Procedure
The process begins with a consultation with our aesthetic physician, Dr. Shobhna Singh (MED0001152019), Registered Medical Practitioner, General Registration. During this period, he or she will assess the patient’s lips, goals, and expectations. The patient’s medical history will also be evaluated to determine any factors affecting the treatment outcome.

Before the treatment, the aesthetic physician will apply a topical numbing cream to the lips to minimise discomfort during therapy. Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, the lips and surrounding areas are cleaned using an antiseptic solution.

Recovery & Aftercare Tips
Following lip volume treatment, patients may experience swelling, bruising, pain, and other discomfort in the treated area. To address these concerns, the physician will provide post-treatment instructions. These include the following:
