Dr Rita Rakus

Our approach to lip enhancement & lip fillers

At the Dr Rakus clinic we aim to achieve a subtle effect for your lips so they look natural. Before treatment we offer a complimentary consultation with Dr Rakus, where we will discuss a patient's medical history (eg. history of cold sores), and always spend time discussing the desired effect and encourage patients to bring along old photographs of themselves. Lips need to suit your face and strengthening the top lip with subtle enhancement can improve the overall appearance of the lower part of the face. For a good treatment we may need to treat the area around the mouth too - to get rid of the bar code lines, smokers lines and also improve the naso-labial lines to rejuvenate, refresh and rebalance the entire lip area.

needle-less Alternatives

In addition to the traditional lip filler injections, Dr Rakus is now using new technologies to offer a needless alternative and help get the best possible results for her patients. These include Perk, as well as using the new ProDeep laser and the ADVATx laser to rejuvenate, enhance and volumise the lips, improving also their colour and their overall structure, Sofwave and Thermage, as well as the minimally invasive Endolift treatment to target the area around the lips, reducing smokers line, bar code lines, perioral lines and other fine lines in the lip area by promoting collagen production. The latest polynucleotide skin boosters and new exosomes can also be used to enhance and rejuvenate the lip area.

NEW! Lip Lift with Thermage FLX - As Seen In Sunday Times

Thermage FLX, well known for lifting and tightening skin on the face and body, can now be used to target the lip area. It will lift the cupid's bow and give a subtle lip lift and enhancement with no pain or downtime and NO needles.

THE LIP FILLER process

The treatment is quick, lasting just a few minutes. An anaesthetic is applied to the relevant area before the gel is injected, so for those new to this treatment, the process is uncomfortable rather than painful. Usually there is minimal downtime required, but if it is your first treatment we recommend that you find a quiet time in your diary as swelling after treatment can sometimes last for 2-3 days.

At the clinic we use the latest proven, natural hyaluronic gel fillers, which can always be dissolved - if required.

We offer a number of other treatments at the clinic that can work well alongside lip injections to perfect your smile and rejuvenate your face. Visit our PhilArt Skin Boosters page, Profhilo page or our Anti-Wrinkle Injections page to find out more.
