Lip injections: a subtle touch that makes a difference!

Number of readers : 12759

The lip injection with hyaluronic acid is one of the most sought-after anti-aging treatments in the world. This filler product has the advantage of being versatile and can be used safely for various needs. Far from misconceptions, the lip injection will not look overdone; on the contrary, it promises a natural and refined effect!

Why consider a lip injection?

Lips are often synonymous with desire! A slight pout or a beautiful heart-shaped mouth is as attractive as an intense gaze. Women have long feared enhancing the volume of their lips for fear of a visible and sensual area needing a truly natural result. However, today, the injection of lips with hyaluronic acid has become a highly appreciated aesthetic medical procedure. Many women seek a subtly plumped mouth for a glamorous effect.

Only hyaluronic acid is injected to achieve either volumising, hydrating, or both effects! It is about enhancing and redefining the lips without altering the person's appearance. The lip injection works to hydrate the lips, enhance the lip line, or increase volume for improved symmetry. Hyaluronic acid is effective in reshaping the lip contour, but it also fills hollows in the face such as dark circles, cheekbones, or cheeks.

What does hyaluronic acid injection involve?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring plumping molecule found in our bodies. It helps maintain an optimal level of hydration in the epidermis, thus keeping your skin baby-soft! As we age, the skin tends to lose firmness, and fine lines appear. Moreover, every decade, we lose 6% of our hyaluronic acid reserves. Injected hyaluronic acid is not perceived as a foreign body by the organism. Unlike creams or capsules with hyaluronic acid, injections penetrate the dermis barrier, making them significantly more effective.

Hyaluronic acid injections are performed in a clinic and sometimes without anaesthesia, as the anaesthetic is already included in the product. Otherwise, the aesthetic practitioner will administer a classic local anaesthesia or apply a lidocaine cream for this purpose. A hyaluronic acid injection is not a trivial procedure and requires the presence of the aesthetic doctor to be carried out under the best conditions.

At the end of the procedure, the aesthetic physician massages the treated areas to even out the product distribution. The body’s assimilation is gradual, and the final result is optimal 10 days after the intervention. Hyaluronic acid is a resorbable molecule, so it does not accumulate in the body and disintegrates over time. This is advantageous in the event of a slight risk of allergic reaction in the patient, which, if it occurs, only happens during a transitional period.

Before you proceed, be sure to consult your aesthetic physician regarding your expectations and the results to anticipate for a natural effect that will enhance your inherent beauty!
