Redefining a natural approach to lip filler at London’s Injectual

Lip fillers have seen a surge in popularity in recent years, becoming the most searched for cosmetic procedure online with more than 40,000 searches a month. But gone are the days of overfilled pouts as the trend for natural-looking enhancements takes over.

Cosmetic procedures are not for everyone, but if it is something you’re considering investing in, then finding a clinic you can trust is the most important decision you can make. In an industry that is notoriously difficult to regulate, London’s leading injectables studio Injectual, prides itself on delivering the highest quality injectables combined with top-tier education and training. To find out more, we spoke to the clinic’s Co-Founder, Joelle Rotsaert, who shared her insights on the unique methods behind one of their signature treatments, the Injectual Lip.

A tailored consultation

According to Joelle, one of the biggest differences of the Injectual Lip compared to others on the market is the comprehensive consultation process that precedes every treatment. Rotsaert explains, “The consultation process is just as important as the injection technique itself. No two sets of lips are naturally the same, and neither are the results and expectations of individual patients. Taking the time to understand exactly what one desires enables us to tailor each treatment specifically to them.”

For Rotsaert and her highly skilled team of medical injectors, it’s not just about achieving a particular look but also about respecting the patient’s natural anatomy. She adds, “As well as considering the results that a patient wants, it’s also important to discuss what is realistic and achievable. Aesthetic treatments by nature are not without risk, so ensuring informed consent takes place before any treatment goes ahead, including possible complications and limitations is crucial.”

Cutting-edge techniques

The initial consultation at Injectual is more than just a formality, it’s a cornerstore of their philosophy. Co-Founder, Dr Veerle Rotsaert, has instilled in her team a deep understanding of lip anatomy and the artistry required to achieve natural results. As Joelle explains, “Dr Rotsaert invests time in all staff to ensure we have a thorough understanding of not only the anatomy of the lip but the ways in which we can create natural-looking volume and fullness in the most comfortable and safe way.”

Designed to enhance and rejuvenate your natural lips, the Injectual Lip uses the innovative Julie Horne technique. By strategically placing filler in the natural vertical columns within the superficial layer of lip tissue, subtle volume can be added while maintaining a defined border to achieve the most natural-looking result and minimise the risk of filler migration. 

Debunking misconceptions

One of the biggest concerns when it comes to lip filler is the fear of an unnatural appearance, which Rotsaert and her team work hard to avoid. Patient education is a critical part of the consultation process, helping clients to understand that subtle improvements can be achieved without compromising their natural features. She explains, “Lip enhancements do not have to look fake. Carefully choosing the correct type of dermal filler, the amount of product, and restricting the number of treatments will maintain a natural-looking result.”

In the ever-evolving field of medical aesthetics, staying up-to-date with the latest advancements is crucial. “Aesthetic medicine is growing at a rapid pace, with new research being published daily and new techniques being developed,” Rotsaert explains. However, she cautions against blindly following trends. “As medical professionals, it is our duty to not simply follow trends but to assess the evidence. Continuous professional development is paramount in ensuring that our patients are protected whilst gaining the results they desire from aesthetic treatments.”

For anyone considering lip enhancements, the Injectual Lip prioritises patient individuality, safety and satisfaction. As Dr Veerle and Joelle Rotsaert and their team continue to challenge misconceptions and strive for excellence, it’s clear that the Injectual Lip is not just about enhancing beauty – it’s about empowering people to feel confident in their own skin.
