In the world of aesthetics, lip injection is a procedure that has gained in popularity due to its ability to improve facial harmony, while preserving a natural appearance. At Claris Clinic, we’re experts in this field, helping you to reveal your natural beauty.
The lip injection process
Lip injection, a common procedure in aesthetic medicine, can improve not only the volume of your lips, making them fuller and plumper, but also their shape. In particular, it can accentuate the lip contour and the Cupid’s bow, that little ‘V’-shaped curve in the center of the upper lip. This aesthetic medicine technique is becoming increasingly popular for those seeking to improve their smile in a natural way. The most commonly used filler ishyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the body. Known for its ability to retain water, hyaluronic acid gives lips a fuller, more hydrated and more natural appearance. Lip injections can help fill in wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth (the famous “bar code” effect), improve facial harmony and boost self-confidence.
What happens during a lip injection session?
The session begins with an in-depth consultation to discuss your expectations and goals. The specialist takes the time to understand exactly what you’re looking for and answer all your questions. He or she then develops a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs. The procedure itself is generally quick, often completed in less than half an hour, and requires no local anesthetic. To ensure your comfort, however, a numbing cream may be applied to your lips beforehand. The filler is then injected with precision, using very fine needles to precisely control volume and shape.
Benefits and results of lip injection
Improved facial harmony
One of the main advantages of lip injections is their ability to improve facial harmony and balance. Well-proportioned lips can accentuate facial symmetry, which is often associated with beauty and attractiveness. Lip injections can help correct the disproportion between the upper and lower lips, better define the lip line and add volume to thin lips. At Claris Clinic, we always strive to achieve a natural result. We consider your face as a whole, and make sure that enhanced lips blend in perfectly with your other features.
Increased self-confidence
In addition to improving physical appearance, lip injections can also help boost self-confidence. Indeed, feeling good about oneself, as well as rediscovering the pleasure of using lipstick, can have a positive impact on self-confidence and self-esteem.

Safety and duration of lip injection
Process safety
Lip injection (sometimes also called “russian lips”) is considered a safe procedure, especially when performed by qualified professionals (aesthetic physicians, plastic surgeons or dermatologists). However, as with any medical procedure, it’s important to be aware of possible side effects and complications, although these are generally rare. Common side effects, usually temporary, may include:
- redness
- swelling
- bruising at the injection site
In the event of an allergic reaction, more serious symptoms may occur, but these are very rare, especially with the use of fillers based on hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the body. Of course, we take every precaution to minimize these risks, including using only the highest-quality, recognized dermal fillers, adhering to the strictest hygiene protocols and listening carefully to your medical history and concerns.
Duration and maintenance
The duration of lip injection results can vary depending on several factors, including the filler used, your metabolism and your lifestyle habits. In general, results can last from six months to a year. For some patients, results may last even longer.
Cost of lip injection
The cost of lip injections can vary depending on several factors. These include the type and quantity of filler used, the complexity of the treatment and your specific aesthetic goals. At our aesthetic medicine clinics in Liège, La Hulpe and Brussels, we are committed to offering quality care at competitive prices. We will discuss the associated costs with you during your initial consultation, so that you can make an informed decision and be assured that there are no hidden charges. It’s important to note that price should not be the only determining factor when choosing a practitioner for lip injection. The specialist’s expertise, experience and skills, as well as the quality of the filler used, are crucial factors in guaranteeing the safety of the procedure and achieving the desired results.
