Lips-Thin

The MD Codes™ are a series of precise injection points which instead of treating the problem area, focus on treating the cause of the issue. Dr de Maio recognised that by treating holistically, patients benefit far greater and receive the optimum results from their treatment. Results are long-lasting, effective and natural-looking.

Results can last up to 6 months depending on product used. Patients can have lip treatment on several sessions and at Renu the amount of product we will use in one session in the lips will vary from 1-3mls depending on areas we are treating.  We may use a further 1ml at the same sessions to treat peri oral lines if we feel you would benefit from this. You are asked to return to the clinic after 7 days for review and any additional product required will be charged per syringe again. Please note that the full result will show itself a few days after treatment, once the product has settled. The lips will appear larger post treatment and once swelling has reduced they will appear smaller. Please note that the lips have not lost product.

With dermal fillers unlike toxin there is no top up of product FOC. We adopt a less is more approach in all of our treatments and add further if required.

Prices start from £220-£250 per 1ml
