LipLase is a non-invasive laser treatment that enhances the lips by stimulating natural collagen production, resulting in fuller and more defined lips without the use of injections or fillers
Liplase is a cosmetic treatment that uses laser technology to enhance the appearance of the lips. It is a non-surgical procedure that involves using a laser to heat and stimulate collagen production in the lips, resulting in fuller, plumper, and more defined lips.
During the Liplase procedure, a laser is applied to the surface of the lips, creating a controlled thermal injury that stimulates the body’s natural healing response. This process results in the production of new collagen fibres, which help to enhance the volume and definition of the lips.
Liplase is a safe and effective procedure, and it typically takes around 20-30 minutes to complete. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, and there is usually no downtime required. However, patients may experience some temporary redness, swelling, and bruising after the treatment.
Although Liplase can provide some improvement in the appearance of the lips, it may not be suitable for all patients. Those with severe lip asymmetry or significant volume loss may require other treatments such as lip fillers or surgical lip enhancement procedures. It’s best to consult with a qualified cosmetic provider at Centre for Surgery in London to determine the most appropriate treatment for your individual needs.
Please note – LipLase is not a treatment for dark or pigmented lips.
Many patients also choose to combine LipLase with Fotona 4D or SmoothEye for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
LipLase™ is a non-invasive procedure using the amazing Fotona SP Dynamis laser which enhances the appearance of the lips. This method is appealing as it involves no incisions or injections. This is a quick procedure, and you will be able to return to your usual daily routine immediately with little downtime involved.
LipLase uses heat pulses on and around the lips. This works to stimulate collagen production, which results in the lips becoming fuller and plumper over time.
LipLase is a non-invasive laser treatment that focuses on enhancing the appearance of the lips. It uses laser energy to stimulate the production of collagen in and around the lips, which in turn can lead to fuller and more defined lips without the use of fillers or injections.

LipLase offers a range of benefits for those seeking to enhance the appearance of their lips without resorting to surgical procedures or injectables. Some of the key benefits include:
Non-Invasive
LipLase is a non-invasive procedure, meaning that it doesn’t involve needles, incisions, or injections. This reduces the risk of infection, scarring, or allergic reactions to fillers.
Natural-looking Results
By stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, LipLase helps to achieve results that look more natural compared to the sometimes exaggerated look that can occur with certain lip fillers.
No Downtime
One of the significant advantages of LipLase is that there is typically no downtime associated with the procedure. Patients can often resume their regular activities immediately after treatment.
Short Procedure Time
The LipLase treatment usually takes a short amount of time, often less than 30 minutes, making it convenient for those with a busy schedule.
Enhanced Lip Definition: LipLase not only adds fullness to the lips but also helps to define the lip border, which can become less distinct with age.
Reduction in Fine Lines
The collagen stimulation also benefits the skin surrounding the lips by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Gradual Enhancement
The results from LipLase are gradual as collagen is produced over time. This provides a subtle improvement, which can be preferable for those who want to avoid a sudden drastic change in appearance.
Customisable
The procedure can be tailored to address specific concerns and to achieve the desired level of enhancement.
Reduced Side Effects
Since LipLase uses laser energy to stimulate natural processes, it generally has fewer side effects compared to injectable fillers.
Long-lasting Results
While not permanent, the results from LipLase can be long-lasting, especially when follow-up maintenance treatments are undertaken as needed.
Determining whether you are an ideal candidate for LipLase involves evaluating several key factors. You are likely to be a suitable candidate if:
To ensure the utmost safety and appropriateness of the treatment for your specific needs, your suitability for LipLase will be thoroughly assessed during a personalised consultation with our laser lip specialist. This session is an opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals, health history, and any concerns you may have, ensuring that LipLase is the right choice for you.
LipLase is a quick, non-invasive procedure. It will take around 30 minutes to complete.
You do not require any injection of local anaesthetic. However, if elected, a topical anaesthetic cream can be applied to the area prior to treatment due to the slight discomfort during the treatment of external parts of the lips.
The Fotona Erbium laser using the unique non-ablative Smooth Mode is a deep laser treatment that targets the vermillion borders of the lips, the oral commissures, the ridges of the philtrum and the Cupid’s bow area of the lips. The erbium laser acts by creating a thermal effect in the deeper layer of the dermis without affecting the epidermis. Controlled temperature increases of up to 60 degrees celsius result in collagen regeneration. The lips undergo a lifting effect, which results in more exposure due to an increase in volume. The laser energy directly stimulates the production of new collagen.
The second step of the procedure is working with the Nd:YAG laser in PIANO Mode, which is the safest mode for reaching deeper-lying skin tissues with minimal thermal effect on the surface. The lips above the vermillion border will also be treated in order to have a well-defined vermilion border which resembles the effect of a filler.
To achieve the best results, you will generally need four to six treatments.
After the treatment, the lasered tissue goes through three stages of healing: in the first stage, some swelling appears immediately after the treatment, lasting for about two to three days. The second stage is characterised by superficial surface peeling lasting 24 to 48 hours after the treatment. We recommend applying skin moisturiser as a lip balm to keep the lips moist and sun protection 50+ to the lips to prevent peeling. The third stage is neocollagenesis, the development of new collagen. The patient must avoid going swimming, sporting activities, sun or sunbeds after the procedure.
If the patient reports a previous history of herpes infection, We recommend antiviral agents for recurrent herpes simplex infection before and after the procedure. Many patients report feeling their lips swollen after the procedure. The patient may feel the sensation of mild burning for up to 30 minutes after the treatment. You will notice results improve over time as the collagen continues to be produced. Results will continue to improve over four to six months.
This is a non-invasive procedure with minimal discomfort and minimal risk of change in skin or lumpiness in one area, and all our patients love it!
At Centre for Surgery, the starting price for a LipLase session is £200. However, this cost is an initial figure, and the total investment for your LipLase treatment may vary based on individual requirements and the number of sessions needed to achieve the desired results.
Each patient’s journey towards enhanced lips is unique, and therefore, the number of LipLase sessions required can differ from one person to another. This variability is due to factors such as individual lip characteristics, desired outcomes, and how the body responds to the treatment.
During your initial consultation, our skilled practitioners will conduct a thorough assessment of your needs and expectations. This session is crucial for formulating a personalised treatment plan, including an estimation of the number of sessions that will be most beneficial for you. Our team will provide detailed information and guidance, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the treatment process, expected outcomes, and associated costs.
This tailored approach allows us to ensure that your LipLase treatment not only meets your aesthetic goals but also aligns with your financial considerations.

Initial Assessment and Medical History Review
During your consultation at our Baker Street clinic, a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history is a critical first step. This discussion is aimed at identifying any potential contraindications to laser lip treatment. Key factors include pregnancy or breastfeeding status, and any medications that might increase your sensitivity to laser energy. Understanding your health background ensures that the LipLase treatment is safe and suitable for you.
Lip Assessment and Discussion of Aesthetic Goals
Your practitioner will conduct a thorough examination of your lips to understand their natural shape, volume, and any specific concerns you may have. This part of the consultation is an excellent opportunity for you to share your aesthetic aspirations and any particular areas you wish to improve. Our goal is to understand your expectations fully and determine how LipLase can best achieve them.
Patch Test for Laser Tolerance
Before proceeding with the actual treatment, it's essential to conduct a patch test. This test is a standard safety procedure to ensure that your skin does not exhibit adverse reactions to the laser treatment. It's a quick and straightforward test that provides additional peace of mind about the compatibility of the treatment with your skin type.
Personalised LipLase Treatment Plan
Assuming the patch test is successful and you decide to proceed with the treatment, we will develop a bespoke LipLase treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs. This customised approach takes into account your unique lip structure, desired results, and any specific concerns, ensuring the most effective and satisfying outcome from your LipLase sessions. Our commitment is to provide you with a treatment experience that is not only effective but also aligns perfectly with your personal aesthetic goals.
Comfort During LipLase Treatment
One of the significant advantages of the Fotona LipLase treatment is its minimal discomfort, eliminating the need for anaesthetic. This aspect of the treatment is especially appealing for those who prefer a more comfortable and less invasive approach to lip enhancement.
Procedure Technique
During the LipLase procedure, your practitioner skillfully directs the laser to deliver heat energy to the deeper layers of your lips. This precise application of laser energy is key to stimulating the production of elastin and collagen, essential proteins for maintaining skin elasticity and volume. The treatment targets not only the external surface of the lips but also the inner lip tissue and surrounding skin. This comprehensive approach ensures collagen production is stimulated from both sides of the mouth, contributing to a more effective and uniform enhancement.
Immediate and Progressive Results
Immediately following a LipLase session, you can expect to notice an instant boost in the plumpness of your lips. The treatment also effectively defines the shape of your lips and smooths out any wrinkles in the surrounding area, contributing to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. These immediate results are accompanied by progressive improvements as the stimulated collagen continues to develop over time.
Recommended Treatment Plan
For optimal results, we recommend undergoing between 4 and 6 LipLase treatments. These sessions should be spaced approximately 2 to 4 weeks apart. This treatment schedule is designed to maximise the benefits of LipLase, ensuring that the results are not only remarkable but also long-lasting. By adhering to this recommended plan, you can enjoy the full extent of the LipLase treatment's capabilities, achieving a naturally enhanced, voluminous appearance of your lips.
Zero Downtime with LipLase
One of the most appealing aspects of LipLase is its non-invasive nature, which allows for no required downtime. This means you can immediately resume your regular daily activities post-treatment. However, to ensure the best results and avoid any complications, it's important to follow specific post-treatment guidelines.
Activities to Avoid Post-Treatment
After undergoing LipLase, you should avoid certain activities to ensure optimal healing and results. Key among these is avoiding unprotected sun exposure. Direct sunlight can be detrimental to the treated areas, so it's crucial to protect your skin, particularly immediately following the treatment.
Healing Stages of LipLase Treatment
Your healing journey post-LipLase will typically progress through three distinct stages:
Stage 1 (Initial 2-3 Days Post-Treatment): This stage is characterised by some swelling in the treated area. It's a normal response and typically subsides within a few days.
Stage 2 (24-48 Hours Following Stage 1): During this phase, patients often experience superficial surface peeling. This can be comfortably managed with the application of lip balm. It's crucial during this period to protect the treated area with SPF 50+ sunscreen to safeguard the skin and minimise further peeling.
Stage 3 (Continuing Up to Six Months): This is the phase where new collagen production (neocollagenesis) occurs. It's during this period that you'll begin to notice the plumpness and defined appearance of your lips gradually improving. This collagen development process continues for up to six months, ensuring the lasting impact of the treatment.
