Thin Lips

Thin lips are a natural anatomical variation that can result from genetics, ageing, or lifestyle factors. As collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid levels decline, lips lose volume, definition, and hydration. Corners may turn downward, the Cupid’s bow softens, and lipstick lines appear more visible. At Haus of Ästhetik, lip enhancement is an art form. We restore structure, hydration, and shape, never distortion, so your lips remain authentically yours, simply refreshed.

Overview

Thin lips are a natural anatomical variation that can result from genetics, ageing, or lifestyle factors. As collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid levels decline, lips lose volume, definition, and hydration. Corners may turn downward, the Cupid’s bow softens, and lipstick lines appear more visible. At Haus of Ästhetik, lip enhancement is an art form. We restore structure, hydration, and shape, never distortion, so your lips remain authentically yours, simply refreshed.

  • Anyone may experience lip thinning with age, though it tends to become more noticeable from the mid-thirties onward. Individuals who smoke, have low body fat, or spend long hours in the sun are often affected earlier. Many younger patients also seek subtle enhancement for symmetry or definition rather than volume.

    • Reduced lip height or projection

    • Flattened Cupid’s bow or lost definition

    • Fine vertical “barcode” lines around the mouth

    • Down-turning oral commissures (the corners of the mouth)

    • Dullness or dehydration due to reduced hyaluronic acid levels

  • No NICE guideline on lip augmentation or thin lip correction. The BNF does not provide lip-filler specific guidance; filler use remains off-label/clinician led.

  • Our treatments blend artistry and anatomical precision, supported by MHRA-regulated products and NICE-aligned protocols.

    1. Teoxane RHA Kiss or RHA 2 Dermal Fillers

    • Hyaluronic acid-based fillers with dynamic elasticity designed for the mobile lip area.

    • Restore natural curvature, support, and hydration without rigidity.

    • Cannula or fine-needle techniques used for precision and minimal bruising.

    • Fully compliant with UK POM requirements and administered under medical prescription.

    2. mesoestetic Age Element or Energy C Lip Repair

    • Antioxidant-rich and collagen-supportive topicals to hydrate and condition the lips post-procedure or as standalone maintenance.

    • Encourage microcirculation and tissue renewal.

    3. Lip Hydration and Regeneration Treatments

    • Non-injectable protocols combining mesoestetic hydrating masks, low-energy LED, and peptide serums for those not seeking injectables.

    4. Perioral Rejuvenation Peels

    • Gentle mandelic or lactic peels to refine texture around the lip border and reduce fine lines.

  • Suitability is established through a comprehensive consultation and medical assessment. Contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, active cold sores, and recent dental or facial surgery. For injectable treatments, a prescriber conducts a face-to-face or video consultation in line with MHRA and CQC standards. Allergies, medications, and previous filler history are reviewed to ensure safe and predictable outcomes.

  • Results are visible immediately, settling over 7–14 days. Expect natural fullness, improved hydration, and defined contours lasting around 9–12 months. The goal is balance and harmony, not exaggerated volume. For non-injectable options, visible hydration and smoothness typically build over several weeks.

    • Avoid pressure, alcohol, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-injection.

    • Keep the area clean and avoid makeup for the first day.

    • Apply mesoestetic Post-Procedure Fast Skin Repair or a Teoxane lip balm to soothe and protect.

    • Stay hydrated and avoid smoking or excessive sun exposure.

    • Schedule review appointments every 9–12 months to maintain definition and assess long-term balance.

  • Book a consultation at Haus of Ästhetik for a detailed facial and lip assessment. We analyse proportions, symmetry, and tissue quality to create a bespoke plan. All injectable treatments follow Regulation 12 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008: Safe Care and Treatment. You will receive written consent documentation, procedural guidance, and a tailored aftercare plan. Our focus is refinement, safety, and realism, helping your lips look naturally expressive and beautifully hydrated.
