There are moments when you find yourself wishing for lips that look harmonious, well-shaped, and naturally beautiful – lips that make you feel confident and attractive. Hyaluronic acid lip treatments offer a modern solution to this desire, providing a personalized approach that adapts to each person’s unique needs.
The process is relatively straightforward and quick, typically taking about 30 minutes. To minimize any discomfort or pain, we apply topical anesthesia to the lips (usually in the form of numbing cream).
First, the doctor identifies and marks the specific areas where the hyaluronic acid will be placed, based on your desired results.
We apply numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.
The doctor carefully injects the hyaluronic acid into the areas that need enhancement, focusing on volume increase or contour improvement.
After injection, the doctor performs gentle massage movements to ensure the ΗΑ distributes evenly throughout the lips and prevent any irregularities.
Results typically last anywhere from 8 months to a full year. However, this timeframe isn’t absolute, as several factors influence longevity:
Type of Material: Different qualities and densities of hyaluronic acid are available. Softer gels are perfect for natural enhancement, while firmer ones provide more structure and may last slightly longer.
Your Metabolism: Every person’s body absorbs hyaluronic acid at different rates. Your body’s natural mechanism (through the enzyme hyaluronidase) recognizes and gradually breaks down the external hyaluronic acid addition.
Daily Habits: For example, smoking may accelerate the breakdown of hyaluronic acid. Additionally, prolonged sun exposure can negatively affect how long your results last.
Immediately after hyaluronic acid lip treatment, it’s completely normal to notice swelling or even small bruises. This shouldn’t worry you, as it’s a typical body response that subsides within the following days.
The swelling usually begins right after the injection and can peak within the first 24-48 hours.
It starts to decrease during the first week, when your lips begin looking increasingly natural.
It disappears completely after approximately 10-14 days, at which point you can truly evaluate your results.
A simple way to provide relief is using ice (not directly on the skin), as it helps reduce both swelling and discomfort. Additionally, keeping your head elevated when lying down and avoiding extreme temperatures (such as saunas or steam baths) significantly helps the swelling subside more quickly.
One of the reassuring aspects of hyaluronic acid lip treatments is that if you’re not happy with the results or want to make corrections, there’s an option to use an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid, effectively “removing” part or all of the injected material. This can be applied if you wish to reverse the results or improve any asymmetries that may have developed. This reversibility provides peace of mind, knowing that the treatment isn’t permanent if adjustments are needed.
