Lip Refresh and Boosting

Short Summary

An alternative to those who don’t want lip fillers. Skinfill Bacio is a microneedling treatment designed specifically for the lips to improve hydration, texture, and natural fullness. Using fine micro-needles, controlled micro-channels are created in the lip tissue, allowing the Skinfill Bacio serum - rich in free hyaluronic acid and regenerative ingredients.

The treatment enhances lip smoothness, and improves colour and hydration without adding volume in the way traditional fillers do. It is used to restore soft, healthy-looking lips and reduce fine lines on lips and around the mouth with no downtime.

This treatment is also a great for those who want hydration in their lips before their next lip filler retouch.

Additional information

  • Improves lip hydration, smoothness, and colour while enhancing natural fullness. It can also reduce fine lines around the lips and restore a softer, healthier appearance.

  • Fine micro-needles create tiny channels in the lips, allowing the Skinfill Bacio serum—rich in hyaluronic acid and regenerative ingredients while stimulating collagen production.

  • No. Skinfill Bacio is not a filler. It uses microneedling to deliver hydrating and regenerative ingredients into the lips and stimulate collagen. Unlike lip fillers, it does not add structural volume but improves hydration, texture, and overall lip quality.

    Although hyaluronic acid is used, it is not “structured” like traditional filler but more like your natural HA in your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

    • What is the post treatment advice?

      • Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas to prevent migration of the product

      • For the first 24 hours, keep face dry and clean, wash with lukewarm water, allow to air dry and apply a simple lip moisturiser

      • Do not apply makeup around the injected areas for 12 hours

      • Avoid sunlight for 24 hours post procedure

      • As part of your skin health regimen, from 24 hours post procedure avoid direct sunlight on the treated area, using a hat where possible, and with broad spectrum physical SPF 50 and 5 star UVA protection such as the Forlle’d Hyalogy UV protector or ZO Sheer Fluid Broad Spectrum Sunscreen.

    • Lip Refresh is considered low risk, however almost invariably results in swelling and bruising as the lip area has a number of blood vessels.

  • Prior to arrival

    A week before treatment stop all use of irritant topical products (Acids, Retinol, Vitamin C or scrubs)

    If you are taking blood thinners, including NSAIDs such as Asprin or Ibuprofen, you should discuss with your doctor whether it is possible to discontinue their use throughout the course of your treatment.

    On arrival

    Dr Sultan will undertake an initial consultation to understand any of your concerns and to review your medical history, after which the treatment area will be photographed. He will advise you of your facial dynamics and the results that Botox® would likely achieve.

    Once a treatment plan is agreed, he will administer the Botox®, after which there will be a number of small red bumps at the injection sites. These bumps usually settle down within hours and within 24 hours, should not be visible.

    Results

    The effects of the treatment commence within 3-5 days and it is normal for it to take between 10-12 days for the full effect of the treatment to become visible.

    We will arrange for a follow up video consultation 12-14 days following the treatment and, if required, we may suggest a complimentary top-up at this point.

    Within 3-4 months of the treatment, we would expect the effects to be wearing off and recommend booking a return visit.
