Lip Hydration and Definition
Supporting Your Smile, Naturally
At Equinox Beauty & Cosmetic Clinic, we understand how important lips are to self-confidence. Over time, lips can lose volume and hydration as collagen levels decrease and skin elasticity reduces. This can lead to thinner lips, unevenness, or lines around the mouth that remain even at rest.
Some people are happy with these natural changes, while others choose treatments to restore balance, redefine the lip border, or add subtle hydration. At Equinox, our approach is about enhancing what’s already yours, not changing who you are. With over 15 years of experience, our clinicians provide safe and tailored care in a welcoming, supportive environment.

OUR SERVICES
About Lip Treatments
At Equinox, we offer a range of options for lip hydration and definition, depending on your needs:
• Hydrating volumisers made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a sugar molecule naturally found in the body. These products attract and retain water, restoring softness and hydration without dramatically altering shape.
• PDO Lip Threads (Class III medical device) are an option for those who prefer subtle lift and definition without additional volume. These threads stimulate collagen production over time, enhancing natural lip structure.
• Combination approaches can provide balanced outcomes, where hydration is supported with HA products and definition is enhanced with threads.
Duration: Around 45 minutes | Discomfort: Minimal | Downtime: 24–48 hours | Longevity: Varies by treatment

What to Expect
Process
Before treatment, you will have a consultation where our team will assess your needs and explain your options. Treatments usually take 15–45 minutes depending on the method chosen.
Risks and Side Effects
As with all procedures, side effects may occur. Common temporary effects include swelling, redness, tenderness, or slight bruising. These typically resolve within 1–2 weeks.
Aftercare
• Swelling peaks within 24–48 hours, then reduces gradually.
• Bruising, if present, should fade within 5–10 days.
• Avoid vigorous exercise, sun exposure, or saunas for 48 hours.
• Do not massage or press on treated areas unless instructed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do lips lose volume over time?
As we age, natural collagen and elastin production decreases, leading to changes in skin elasticity and firmness. The lips, like other facial areas, are also affected by this process. Fat pads that normally support the lips shrink, while hydration levels decline due to reduced hyaluronic acid in the skin. These changes cause lips to appear thinner, less defined, and sometimes uneven. Environmental factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and lifestyle habits can accelerate these effects. Treatments at Equinox aim to restore balance, creating subtle definition and hydration without compromising natural expression.
What treatment options are available for lip hydration and definition?
At Equinox Clinic, treatment options may include volumising approaches using hyaluronic acid-based gels, or PDO lip threads for those who prefer subtle lift and definition without added fullness. Hyaluronic acid works by attracting water molecules, helping to hydrate and plump the lips. PDO threads, by contrast, support collagen production and create structure. These approaches can be used individually or in combination, depending on your goals. During your consultation, we’ll discuss which option is most suitable for your needs, ensuring a safe, tailored, and natural-looking outcome.
Will my lips look natural after treatment?
Yes — our priority is achieving results that complement your natural features. Treatments are designed to restore or enhance definition and hydration without creating an overfilled look. Our team carefully tailors each plan to your lip shape, facial balance, and personal preferences. Whether you’re seeking subtle changes or more defined contouring, the aim is always to enhance rather than alter. Many clients report that friends and family notice a refreshed appearance but cannot pinpoint what has changed, which is often the most reassuring feedback.
How long do the results last?
The duration of results depends on the treatment chosen. Hyaluronic acid-based lip treatments generally last 6–12 months, while PDO threads may last 6–9 months, with results improving as collagen production increases. Longevity varies between individuals, influenced by factors such as metabolism, hydration, and lifestyle. To maintain results, periodic top-up treatments are often recommended. At Equinox, your clinician will guide you on realistic timeframes and help create a maintenance plan that suits your needs while remaining natural and manageable.
Is there downtime after lip treatments?
Most clients can return to normal activities soon after treatment, although mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur. Swelling is usually most noticeable in the first 24–48 hours and begins to subside within a few days. For PDO threads, mild bruising may last up to a week. Aftercare includes avoiding strenuous exercise, facials, and excessive sun exposure for a short period. We also provide tailored aftercare advice to ensure optimal healing and results. If you have upcoming events, plan treatments at least two weeks in advance.
Are lip treatments painful?
Discomfort is generally minimal. For hydration or volumising treatments, products often contain a local anaesthetic, and we may also use ice or numbing cream to improve comfort. For PDO threads, local anaesthetic is typically applied before treatment. Clients usually describe the sensation as mild stinging or pressure. The procedure is relatively quick, usually completed within 30–45 minutes, making it suitable even for those with busy schedules. Any sensitivity afterwards is temporary and usually resolves within a few days.
Who is suitable for lip hydration and definition treatments?
These treatments are suitable for adults who wish to address concerns such as thinning lips, loss of definition, unevenness, or dryness. They can also be appropriate for those who want to create more balance between the lips and other facial features. Younger clients sometimes seek preventative care or subtle enhancement, while older clients may focus on restoring hydration and contour. Suitability is determined during consultation, where health, medical history, and goals are carefully reviewed by our experienced clinicians.
Can lip treatments be combined with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes. Lip treatments are often combined with other procedures such as fine line treatments, skin boosters, or dermal therapies like microneedling and PRP. These combinations can support overall skin quality while enhancing facial balance. At Equinox Clinic, our team takes a holistic approach, helping you consider whether a combination plan may achieve your goals more effectively. Every treatment is tailored to ensure results remain subtle, natural, and aligned with your expectations, with safety always being the top priority.
Why don’t clinics advertise lip filler brand names?
In Australia, clinics cannot use brand names for prescription-only medicines in their advertising, due to TGA and AHPRA regulations. Instead, terms like “lip hydration” or “lip volumisers” are used on websites and social media. This helps ensure clients make decisions based on personalised consultation rather than marketing. During your appointment, your clinician will explain exactly which product or method is most suitable for your needs. This way, you have full transparency about your treatment without the influence of brand-based advertising, keeping decisions safe and informed.
Why can’t I see before-and-after lip photos?
Under Australian guidelines, before-and-after photos of prescription treatments are not allowed in public advertising. This rule exists to prevent unrealistic expectations and ensure that people seek advice tailored to their own face, rather than comparing themselves to marketing images. At Equinox, we follow these requirements closely, focusing instead on providing detailed consultations. Here, we discuss likely outcomes in relation to your features and goals. This ensures you have realistic expectations and can make confident choices, supported by accurate, professional information rather than promotional imagery.
