How much does lip filler cost in the UK? A 2026 price guide

Lip filler is the most requested dermal filler treatment in the UK, and “how much does lip filler cost?” is one of the most searched questions in aesthetics. The honest answer depends on how much product is used, who injects it and where, but the published market clusters tightly enough to give patients a realistic figure. This guide sets out typical 2026 UK lip filler prices from published clinic price lists, and explains why the cheapest option is often the wrong one.

Typical UK cost

Lip filler is priced by the amount of product used, measured in millilitres (ml), though some clinics quote a flat per-treatment fee that usually amounts to around 1ml. Across published 2026 price lists:

Amount	Typical UK price	Common range
0.5ml (a subtle enhancement)	around £170	£150 to £250
1ml (the most common starting point)	around £250 to £265	£200 to £400

Most first-time patients have 0.5ml or 1ml. Premium and doctor-led London clinics commonly charge £350 to £495 for 1ml, while the lowest standard rates, around £250, are found in Belfast, the North of England and parts of Scotland and Wales.

Why a price that looks too low is a warning sign

Lip filler should be a hyaluronic acid product from a reputable manufacturer, injected by a trained, insured practitioner who holds prescribing access to hyaluronidase, the enzyme that dissolves filler if there is a problem. That standard has a floor cost. Across the market, a price much below roughly £150 per ml is widely treated as a red flag: it can signal an unqualified injector, an unbranded or counterfeit product, or a training-model session. With lip filler, where the serious risk is vascular occlusion, who injects matters more than the saving. The dermal fillers guide covers the safety picture in full.

What is usually included

A proper lip filler price should include the consultation and assessment, the treatment itself, written aftercare and, at many clinics, a review at two to three weeks. Confirm what is covered before booking. A higher price that includes a review and a named, qualified injector is generally better value than a bare headline rate.

Regional variation

Region and practitioner tier together drive most of the price difference:

Region / city	Typical 1ml lip filler
London (Harley Street, doctor-led)	£350 to £495
South East	£300 to £450
Birmingham and the Midlands	£300 to £400
Leeds and the North	£290 to £350
Glasgow and Scotland	£300 to £350
Cardiff and Wales	£280 to £350
Belfast and Northern Ireland	£250 to £300

Cost guides consistently put London and the South East around 20 to 40 per cent above regional cities, with the Midlands and North roughly 15 to 25 per cent lower than the capital. A large part of that gap is the practitioner: a doctor-led clinic charges more than a nurse-led one in the same city, so tier often matters as much as postcode.

How long it lasts, and the real cost over time

Lip filler is not permanent. Because the lips are mobile, the result tends to last around six to twelve months, at the shorter end of the filler range, so the genuine cost is the per-treatment price repeated on a maintenance cycle rather than a one-off. Patients sometimes confuse lip filler with a lip flip, which is a different treatment and not a filler, so it is worth clarifying which they mean.

Pricing lip filler in your clinic

A transparent, per-ml price list with what is included spelled out converts better than “from” pricing and protects your margin. Our price list template gives you the structure, the dermal filler consent form covers the consent, and AesthetiClinic lets you publish the price, take a deposit and book the review in one flow.
