Restylane Lipp - Lip Filler

What is it?

Restylane Lipp.

How does it work?

Launched this year, Restylane Lipp is perfect for those Wh crave plumper lips without the risk of a trout pout. It contains hyaluronic acid (AH), a natural substance found in the body.

Local anaesthetic and a dental nerve block are administered for pain relief. The surgeon then injects AH into your lips, leaving them fuller, but still natural-looking. The results last up to a year, longer than most lip fillers.

Recovery time

Have it done on a Friday because your lips will be bruised and swollen for up to two days.

Cost

Prices start froth £350 per syringe (per session).

UltraShape - Fat Melting Ultrasound

What is it?

UltraShape.

How does it work?

An ultrasound beam selectively targets fat cells around the stomach, middle and hips and zaps them. It does this without harming the surrounding nerves, blood vessels or skin and the fat cells destroyed don't grow back. However, if you gorge on cream cakes, you'll gain fat elsewhere - sadly, it isn't a miracle cure!

Recovery time

Most people only need one session, which takes one to two and a half hours. Side effects, such as mild discomfort and bruising, are rare, meaning you can go about your day as usual.

Cost

Prices start from £650 per treatment.

Isolagen

How does it work?

A sample of skin is taken from behind your ear and sent to a laboratory, where new skin cells are grown from it. These are then injected into fine lines or scars.

Recovery time

The first session of injections is arranged for 10 weeks after the sample's been sent to the lab. It can be done in your lunch hour under local anaesthetic, but skin maybe swollen for a few hours afterwards. Results can last 12-18 months and patients typically require refresher treatments every 18 months.

Cost

Prices start from £3,750 for skin sampling and two sessions of injections.
