Hyaluronic Acid Lips: Instructions for Use CHAPTER 1: Which hyaluronic acid lip product to choose? Specific products from laboratories – More natural look Lip volume enhancement is one of the most common uses of injectable hyaluronic acid, and most laboratories have naturally sought to meet this demand by creating HA suitable for this indication combined with water for skin and lips. These treatments create a harmonious and natural benefit. This use allows for both hydrating the lips and enhancing them with a slight to moderate increase in thickness, which also helps avoid Botox.

In short, for the most part, lip thickness is one of the indications mentioned by the laboratory but it does not represent the exclusive indication of the treatment as with previous products. These products are therefore also used by practitioners to significantly increase lip thickness but also to restore other parts of the face (nasogenian folds, cheekbones, cheeks, etc.) and more generally, to fill in moderate to severe wrinkles. Some of these are “Best Sellers” for these same reasons! These gels are therefore perfectly suited for those who wish to have fuller, plump lips like some stars (see our article on the perfect smile).

This will depend on the expected results, age, and especially, the thickness of the lower and upper lip initially! A brief reminder of the different lip volumes Important: Define with your practitioner what is the most judicious technique to adopt according to the patient. The mouth has a limited swelling capacity; you may be very satisfied and have beautiful effects but always within a certain limit. Depending on the desired result and the client, the quantities must be adjusted:
- Fines: Up to 1ml for it to feel natural
- Plump: Up to 2ml for it to be volumizing
These quantities are for informational purposes only; it is recommended in most cases to space them out over time. It should be noted that the maintenance and tolerance to HA may vary with the number of touch-ups. Important: Do not inject too much hyaluronic acid at once. Touch-ups are preferred over a single large injection of HA to avoid inflammation and to increase longevity. CHAPTER 3: How much does a session of lip hyaluronic acid injection cost? Per needle/cannula – Doctor It is important to state that the cost of treatment will be determined on a case-by-case basis, and the price will depend notably on:
- Used products (Products / Brands that are more expensive than others)
- From the amount of AH used
- The number of sessions (touch-ups sometimes necessary, +/- frequent)
- Of the practitioner's notoriety and experience
- And... about the location of the office!
As a general rule, an HA injection treatment costs between €300 – €600 with a healthcare professional trained in HA injection. Injection by Hyaluron Pen – Aesthetic Center A session with the Hyaluron Pen, represented in the form of a pen, may cost between €150 – €300 at an aesthetic center. CHAPTER 4: How to prepare before a treatment?
-
Avoid taking aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Ibuprofen, ketoprofen…) and treatments containing vitamin C, E, or Ginkgo biloba 7 days before the session and within the 6 hours following it.
-
Avoid the consumptionof alcoholic beverages and sun exposure in the hours before and after the injections.
-
Avoid exposure to heat (sauna, steam room) or extreme cold in the 48 hours following the session.
-
Do not engage in sports activities for at least 24 hours following the injections.
CHAPTER 5: How does a hyaluronic acid lip injection session go? First Consultation Often, a first consultation will need to take place to determine with a professional the solutions available to you, check your medical history and potential contraindications (see below), and inform you about the risks and precautions to take. If all lights are green, a second appointment will be scheduled to enhance your lips! A hyaluronic acid injection session for the lips lasts about 30 minutes. Second Consultation Initially, the professional will prepare their equipment, see the Pharmacy Kit offered in the Centrale Fillers shop. The practitioner should also have prepared their vials, needles/cannulas, syringe or Hyaluron Pen with the chosen tips and hyaluronic acid gel. The various accessories for a hyaluronic acid injection
Needles Terumo Agani €3.49 – €18.19 CHOICE OF OPTIONS
Canules TSK Merz: Box of 20u – (25G, 27G / 25mm, 38mm, 50mm) €99.90 – €109.90 CHOICE OF OPTIONS Then, after makeup removal and disinfection of the targeted area, the practitioner can begin to inject the indicated product, and this is where the magic begins…! The professional will follow their hyaluronic acid injection protocol according to the chosen method of administration. Once this is completed, a cold pack may be applied to the lips, and a light moisturizing and anti-UV cream may be applied. Touch-ups and future maintenance Touch-ups or simply future maintenance may be considered in order to maintain a permanent volume. A touch-up can generally be performed 2 weeks to 1 month after the first time, and a new, more comprehensive injection session can be carried out 2-6 months after the touch-up depending on the longevity of the gel. CHAPTER 6: Recovery after hyaluronic acid lip injections Once completed, you can generally resume your normal life. However, it is possible that you may experience some side effects (see below), which will require some time to completely disappear. Following this, it will be important to limit as much as possible any activity that may activate blood circulation in the lips and more generally in the face. Additionally, it is important not to touch your lips for a few days. The recommendations provided prior to treatment are also valid after the injection session to promote recovery. The following recommendations should also be added:
-
Proscribe peels and do not use products aimed at cleansing / unclogging the skin at the risk of dehydrating your lips and depleting the implanted hyaluronic acid.
-
Avoid fasting, following a drastic diet, etc.
- And everything that seems to boost your metabolism and encourages your body to draw from its stores of hyaluronic acid...!
In simple terms, during the following week, it will be necessary to:
-
Follow the recommendations mentioned.
- Hydrate
-
Protect yourself – full screen or UV protection of at least 30 SPF.
CHAPTER 7: Results, how long and how to maintain them? Average duration of results Professional opinions state that hyaluronic acid lip treatments last on average between 6 to 9 months. It should be noted that maintenance sessions will be necessary at least once every 6 months or more frequently depending on your skin type and the results you desire. Simulation of the persistence of hyaluronic acid lip treatments.
Factors that may impact Indeed, the duration depends on several factors such as your genetics, your lifestyle (from low to intense physical activity, heat fluctuations, and your overall hygiene). Lip care Lip balms To hydrate and protect your lips after a hyaluronic acid injection, choose a balm with soothing and/or nourishing properties combined with sun protection of at least 30 SPF while avoiding makeup. Lip masks There are different types of lip masks:
- The exfoliating mask
- The soothing mask
- The hydrating mask
Exfoliating masks should be avoided after a session of HA injection in the lips. Exfoliation could increase the risk of inflammation at the injection site!
