Are you looking for non-surgical lip enhancement in Reading? Our lip fillers offer the perfect solution for achieving fuller, well-proportioned lips or restoring hydration.
As we age, our skin undergoes changes, losing hydration, facial fat, and collagen, leading to diminished volume and increased wrinkles. Lip fillers can reverse these signs of aging, restoring your youthful appearance quickly and painlessly.
Our dermal fillers, containing naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, are perfectly suited for smoothing problem areas and addressing signs of lip aging. Available in various densities, they can create soft, subtle enhancements or full, voluptuous lips tailored to your preferences.
The results of our lip filler treatments are immediate and can last between 6 to 15 months, depending on the type of filler used. Visit us in Reading to rejuvenate your lips and enhance your natural beauty with confidence.

At Dr Wafaa Clinic, due to ethical reasons we do have age limit policies with our injectable treatments.
Due to the natural development of the face and muscles we have made the decision not to provide dermal or lip fillers to anyone below the age of 18.
In the week before the treatment, avoid taking aspirin (unless prescribed by a doctor), ibuprofen, vitamin E and fish oil supplements as these may increase bleeding and bruising.
Kindly ensure to inform us of any prescription medication you are taking.
Step One – Consultation and Consent
It is essential to understand that, whilst dermal fillers are not prescription-only medicines, the medication needed to dissolve fillers, hyaluronidase, is. Additionally, the anatomy of the face is complex; it is advisable only to allow medically qualified practitioners to carry out filler treatments.
Upon arrival at our Clinic in Reading, Dr Wafaa will complete detailed personal details and medical history forms with you. She will then discuss your medical history, the procedure, and any potential side effects and highlight the realistic, expected result of the treatment.
This process should take as long as you need and allow you to weigh up the benefits against the risks.
You will then sign and date your completed consent form.
Photos of the area to be treated will be taken for records and comparison later on with the after result.
These Photos might be shared on Social Media for teaching and marketing purposes, but your consent will be taken before that. If you don’t prefer releasing the photos, the images will be kept confidential for medical records only.
Step Two – Your Treatment
Your treatment will take around 15-30 minutes.
The first part of your treatment will be the removal of any makeup and sterilisation of the area to be treated with an antibacterial/alcohol wipe.
The area to be treated will then be numbed using an anaesthetic cream to the site 20 minutes or so before injection. This helps to dampen the place to be treated and reduces pain when the needle is inserted into the skin. The anaesthetic effects of numbing creams like EMLA last around 30-60 minutes.
Dr Wafaa will use a micro-needle or a cannula to inject small filler into the lips. Various techniques can be used, depending on the stuffing and the area being treated.
After injecting the filler, She may manipulate and massage it to ensure it is evenly distributed and correctly placed.
Step Three – The Check-Up
You will be offered a free check-up two weeks after your treatment. This allows Dr Wafaa to check that the dose they administered was appropriate for the agreed outcome and that the healing process is smooth.
Final Step – The Repeat Treatment
Depending on how quickly you metabolise the filler and which product you were treated with, you will require a repeat treatment 6-24 months after your initial treatment.
You will be advised regarding when you may require a repeat treatment.
Dermal fillers used in the UK contain hyaluronic acid. When injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid has hydrophilic (water-loving) tendencies. This causes it to attract water, thus filling out wrinkles and scars and adding volume and shape where necessary.
As it is a naturally occurring substance within the body, adverse reactions to it are unlikely.
There are various techniques to administer fillers, subtly reshape lips, add lost volume to ageing lips, and treat lipstick lines and philtral columns. This can be achieved using Needle or Micro-cannula.
Your treatment will be tailored according to your specific lip and facial anatomy and your desired result to create a natural-looking set of lips.
Now at Dr Wafaa Clinic, when you come for lip filler, after a consultation,We numb you with numbing cream or with a full dental block (numbing injections) to ensure your treatment is totally pain free.
Then lip fillers are injected by Dr Wafaa into the lips with very fine needles to ensure minimal discomfort and bruising, allowing her to sculpt the lips to the desired shape and fullness.
In many cases, Dr Wafaa will use a round, blunt ended micro cannula to deliver the product to the entire lips with one tiny entry point either side of the mouth without the need to use needles.
The benefits of this is you are extremely unlikely to have any bruising afterwards.
It is normal to expect some mild swelling after your procedure and can last 24-48 hours.
If bruising does occur, it is usually mild and transient.
You can immediately return to your daily activities.
Lips are very sensitive, so we apply a local anaesthetic before your treatment to numb the area. There may still be some discomfort, if this is too great inform us and we will look to ease this as much as possible.
To note using micro-cannula are much less painful than Needle!
With her high expertise and worldwide qualifications, Dr Wafaa El Mouhebb has been able to gain experience in using micro-cannula in lip filler thus reducing pain , swelling and bruises after the procedure
As with most treatments where injections are involved, typical side effects of lip fillers include:
But, these should only last for a few days.

I couldn’t recommend Dr Wafaa highly enough for her professionalism and care for her clients! I’ve had anti-ageing treatments done at a different clinic in Reading and Dr Wafaa is by far better and more professional. During my initial consultation, she’s taken some time to provide me with useful advice tailored to my skin. She has then performed the treatment/ injections and I’m very happy with the results! I cannot say the same about the other clinic i visited earlier in the year! She’s also recommended me a cream that works wonders. I highly recommend Dr Wafaa. ~Raluca~ Marwa Mahdi2023-12-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
