Indicative UK lip filler prices: cost ranges for 0.5ml and 1ml, what's included, why prices vary, and why a price that looks too low is a warning sign.
At a glance
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, This guide sets out indicative UK lip filler price ranges, compiled in June 2026, and explains why the cheapest option is often the wrong one.

How much does lip filler cost in the UK?
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. As indicative ranges:
| What you are buying | Typical UK price | Common range |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5ml, a subtle enhancement | around £170 | £150 to £250 |
| 1ml, the most common starting point | varies | £200 to £400 |
| Below roughly £150 per ml | below the market floor | treat as a warning sign, not a bargain |
Read these as indicative ranges, not as a price list. They are a rough guide to the UK market, not what any single clinic charges, and they are not a quote or an offer of treatment. Most first-time patients have 0.5ml or 1ml, and the only accurate figure is the one your chosen clinic gives you at consultation.
Why is a lip filler price that looks too low 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 should a lip filler price include?
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.
Why do lip filler prices vary by region?
Region and practitioner tier together drive most of the price difference. London and the South East generally sit at the top of the UK market. A large part of any gap is the practitioner: a doctor-led clinic often charges more than a nurse-led one in the same city, so tier can matter as much as postcode.

How long does lip filler last, and what is 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. For how product can move over time, see filler migration explained.

Frequently asked questions
How much does 1ml of lip filler cost in the UK?
1ml of lip filler commonly falls in a range of £200 to £400, and doctor-led clinics in London generally sit towards the top of the market. For the current median near you, use our free price benchmark tool.
How much does 0.5ml of lip filler cost?
Around £170 is typical for 0.5ml, with a common range of £150 to £250. It is the usual choice for a subtle enhancement, and along with 1ml it is what most first-time patients have.
Is lip filler priced per millilitre or per treatment?
Both are used. Most clinics price by the millilitre, which is the clearest way to compare between clinics. Some quote a flat per-treatment fee instead, which usually amounts to around 1ml of product, so it is worth asking how much product that fee covers.
Why is very cheap lip filler a red flag?
A price much below roughly £150 per ml sits under the market floor set by a qualified, insured injector using a reputable hyaluronic acid product. Across the market it is widely read as a signal of an unqualified injector, an unbranded or counterfeit product, or a training-model session rather than a genuine saving.
What should be included in the price of lip filler?
The consultation and assessment, the treatment itself and written aftercare, and at many clinics a review appointment at two to three weeks. Confirm what is covered before booking, because a higher price that includes a review and a named, qualified injector is generally better value than a bare headline rate.
Where in the UK is lip filler cheapest?
Prices outside London and the South East are generally lower, but we are not ranking regions until our 2026 UK & Ireland price report has the data to support it. For the current median near you, use our free price benchmark tool.
How much does lip filler cost per year?
Lip filler is not permanent and the result tends to last around six to twelve months, so most patients budget for one or two treatments a year. So the yearly cost is roughly one to two times your clinic’s price for a treatment, and it rises in London and at doctor-led clinics.
Are these figures a quote?
No. They are indicative ranges compiled in June 2026, not the price list of any single clinic and not an offer of treatment. Clinics set their own prices, so the only accurate figure is the one your chosen clinic gives you at consultation.
