The lip injection using hyaluronic acid is one of the most sought-after anti-ageing treatments worldwide. This filler has the advantage of being versatile and can be safely used for various needs. Contrary to common misconceptions, the lip injection will not be excessive; rather, it offers a natural and refined effect!
Why consider a lip injection?
Lips are often synonymous with allure! A pout or a beautifully shaped heart-like mouth is as attractive as an intense gaze. Women have long been apprehensive about enhancing the volume of their lips due to their visible and sensual nature, which necessitates a truly natural result. However, today, the injection of lips with hyaluronic acid has become a highly appreciated procedure in aesthetic medicine. Many women desire slightly plumper lips for a glamorous effect.
Only hyaluronic acid is injected for volumising or hydrating effects, or both! The aim is to enhance and redefine the lips without altering the individual’s appearance. The lip injection helps to hydrate the lips, enhance the lip line, or increase volume for better symmetry. Hyaluronic acid is effective in redefining the lip contour as well as filling in facial hollows, such as under-eye circles, cheekbones, or the cheeks.
What does a hyaluronic acid injection involve?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring plumping molecule found in our body. It helps maintain a good level of hydration in the skin, keeping it baby-soft! With age, the skin tends to lose its firmness, and fine lines appear. Additionally, every decade, we lose 6% of our hyaluronic acid reserves. The injected hyaluronic acid is not perceived as a foreign body by the organism. Unlike creams or capsules containing hyaluronic acid, injections penetrate the dermal barrier, making them significantly more effective.
Hyaluronic acid injections are typically performed in a clinic, sometimes without anaesthesia, as the anaesthetic is already included in the product. Otherwise, the aesthetic doctor administers a classic local anaesthetic or applies a lidocaine cream for this purpose. A hyaluronic acid injection is not a trivial procedure and requires the presence of an aesthetic doctor to carry it out under the best conditions.
At the end of the procedure, the aesthetic doctor massages the treated areas to ensure even distribution of the product. The assimilation by the body is gradual, and the final result is optimal 10 days after the intervention. Hyaluronic acid is a resorbable molecule, meaning it does not accumulate in the body and breaks down over time. This is advantageous in case of a minimal risk of allergic reaction for the patient, which, when it does occur, only happens for a transient period.
Before proceeding, be sure to seek advice from your aesthetic doctor regarding your expectations and the desired results for a natural effect that will enhance your inherent beauty!
