As an experienced dermatologist, I frequently meet patients looking for full, sensual lips, which are often seen as a sign of youth and attractiveness. However, not everyone is naturally blessed with full lips. Even if you are, lips can even lose volume over time.
With more than 20 years of practical experience under my belt, I have specialised in various procedures to help your mouth look more alluring. One particularly innovative method I offer is the LipLase® treatment by Fotona. It stimulates collagen production in the lips without requiring fillers or surgical procedures. The result is natural looking voluminous lips.

Frequently asked questions about Fotona LipLase
Answers from the expert Dr Duve
How do I prepare for the treatment?
“Avoid sunbathing for about 10 days before the treatment.
Do not take any blood thinners or alcohol for at least 24 hours beforehand.
Make sure that your lips are not inflamed or infected with herpes on the treatment day.”Nehmen Sie mindestens 24 Stunden vorher keine blutverdünnenden Medikamente und keinen Alkohol zu sich.
Stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihre Lippen am Behandlungstag keine Entzündungen oder Herpes-Infektionen aufweisen.
Is the LipLase treatment painful?
The treatment is largely painless, with some patients reporting only a slight tingling sensation during the procedure. If desired, an anaesthetic cream can be applied beforehand.
How long does a session last?
A LipLase session usually takes about 15–20 minutes, depending on the specific requirements of your treatment.
Can I return to my normal activities immediately after the treatment?
The LipLase treatment does not require any downtime. Therefore, you can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Are there any restrictions regarding the use of lip products after treatment?
To ensure fast healing and best results, I recommend not using irritating lip products for the first few days after treatment.
How long do the results of the LipLase treatment last?
Results can last from several months to several years. It depends on individual factors such as your age, lifestyle and how you care for your lips after treatment. For long-lasting results, a touch-up is possible after 4–6 months.
When are the results visible?
The first results can sometimes be visible immediately after the treatment, although this is mostly attributable to swelling after the procedure. The final result is only visible after a few days to weeks, when collagen production reaches its peak. The ultimate goal of LipLase is to produce noticeably fuller lips.
What are the risks of laser treatment?
As with any aesthetic treatment, there is a small risk of side effects. Generally speaking, however, laser treatment is very gentle on the tissue and is thus considered low-risk. In individual cases, slight reddening or swelling may occur after the laser treatment.
However, these occurrences are usually temporary and subside after a short time. You can prevent this from happening with gentle cooling.
