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, gathered from price lists published openly on UK clinic websites and checked 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. Across published 2026 price lists:

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	around £250 to £265	£200 to £400
Below roughly £150 per ml	below the market floor	treat as a warning sign, not a bargain

And by region, for the usual 1ml treatment:

Region or 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

Read these as typical market ranges, not as a price list. They describe where the published UK market sits, 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. 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. 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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

How much does 1ml of lip filler cost in the UK?

Around £250 to £265 is the typical 2026 UK price for 1ml, with a common range of £200 to £400. Doctor-led London clinics commonly charge £350 to £495, while the lowest standard rates, around £250 to £300, are found in Belfast and Northern Ireland, with £290 to £350 typical across the North of England.

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?

Belfast and Northern Ireland are the lowest in the published market at around £250 to £300 for 1ml, followed by Cardiff and Wales at £280 to £350 and Leeds and the North at £290 to £350. London is the most expensive at £350 to £495 in doctor-led Harley Street clinics.

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. At the typical £250 for 1ml, that works out at roughly £250 to £500 a year, though the figure rises in London and at doctor-led clinics.

Are these figures a quote?

No. They are typical market ranges gathered from price lists published openly on UK clinic websites, 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.
