Consultation and assessment of skin quality and hydration
Aqua Lift
A deep hydration protocol that restores fullness and radiance from within, without changing your features.
60 min
This procedure requires an assessment consultation first so we can plan it around your case.
Aqua Lift
Aqua lift involves injecting non-cross-linked or lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid into the skin itself rather than beneath it. The aim is not to add volume or change features, but to improve hydration from within so the skin looks fuller, brighter and smoother.
How it differs from filler
Filler is placed in deeper planes to replace lost volume and change contour. Aqua lift is distributed through the superficial layer in closely spaced points, so it does not change your shape but improves skin quality. For anyone who wants radiance without anyone noticing they had something done, this is the option.
Who it suits
- Dull and dehydrated skin
- Superficial fine lines
- Skin affected by smoking or poor sleep
- The neck and the back of the hands
- Preparing weeks ahead of an occasion
The session plan
Typically a series of 3 sessions spaced two to four weeks apart to build the result, then a maintenance session every few months. The result is cumulative, and a single session gives limited improvement compared with the full series.
After the session
Small bumps at the injection points may appear and settle within hours to a day. Mild redness and possible bruising. Avoid make-up and intense exercise on the first day.

FAQ
Will it change the shape of my face?
No. Aqua lift adds no volume and does not change contour. Its effect is on skin quality, hydration and radiance only, which is why many people who do not want a noticeable change in their features choose it.
How many sessions do I need?
Usually 3 sessions spaced two to four weeks apart to build the result, then maintenance every few months. A single session gives limited improvement compared with the series.
How soon before an event can I have it?
Book at least two weeks beforehand. The small bumps settle within a day, but possible bruising can take several days, and the result itself needs time to show.
How does it differ from mesotherapy?
Both work on skin quality. Aqua lift focuses on hydration with hyaluronic acid, while mesotherapy uses a blend of vitamins and nutrients. They are sometimes combined, and we recommend what suits your skin after assessment.
