It is an active ingredient that is mainly found in our skin and whose role is to structure, protect and moisturize it in depth. Hyaluronic acid injections are therefore very effective in treating sagging skin and loss or lack of volume.
Why inject hyaluronic acid into the lips?
Hyaluronic acid injections in the lips can be performed for two reasons:
- To increase the volume of the lips
This is a very widespread request. Patients who wish to have this procedure usually have lips that are too thin or asymmetrical. The injection of hyaluronic acid into the lips then allows you to have more volume, to harmonize the contours or to redraw the shape.
- To smooth wrinkles around the mouth
This process is rather related to the sagging skin that naturally occurs with age. It is important to know that over the years, the amount of hyaluronic acid in our body decreases. Folds, fine lines and nasolabial folds then appear and dull our complexion. In this case, the purpose of hyaluronic acid injections is to smooth and plump the skin.
What precautions should be taken before a hyaluronic acid injection for the lips?
Hyaluronic acid is an active ingredient that is naturally found in our body, so it is generally very well tolerated. Nevertheless, taking aspirin and anti-inflammatories is strongly discouraged.
You will also need to provide your aesthetic doctor with all the necessary medical information (allergies, autoimmune diseases, skin infections, etc.).
All possible precautions and contraindications are communicated during your first consultation with Dr. Thanacody.
How is a hyaluronic acid injection for the lips performed by Dr. Thanacody?
During your first consultation with Dr. Thanacody, a personalized treatment plan is carried out. The aesthetic doctor precisely analyzes your face and the area(s) to be treated are determined.
Indeed, sagging skin in the mouth can affect several places and it may be necessary to treat several areas in order to have a natural and harmonious result. In this context, Dr. Thanacody may decide to use MD Codes for a global care of the face and to inject hyaluronic acid into the nasolabial folds, lips and/or lip contour.
Technique des Russian Lips
Dr. THANACODY Michaël is specialized in the Russian Lips technique
The Russian Lips is an augmentation of the lip on the height (verticalization of the lip) rather than its projection forward as for the so-called “classic” injections in the lips.
This technique is intended for people who do not want to give volume to the lips, but rather to give them a vertical dimension, with definition of the contours and hydration of the lips.
Indeed, the goal is to lift the lips rather than increase the volume. Unlike conventional injections, the doctor injects the filler vertically, starting at the base of the lip and pulling the product outwards. The doctor works the product from the inside out.
This technique gives the mouth a “flat” profile, which avoids the “duck face” effect often criticized for volumizing lip injections.
This technique is therefore primarily aimed at young women, who do not want to increase the volume of their lips or who already have a “plump” base. In the opposite case (mature women with loss of volume), it will be necessary to first treat the “foundations” before the “finishes”. The two techniques can be combined.
What are the results of a hyaluronic acid injection for the lips?
The results are visible almost immediately after the session. They become optimal after a few days.
If you have done:
- An increase in volume
Your lips are visibly filled in a natural way, deeply hydrated and the contours are redefined.
- An anti-wrinkle treatment
Your skin is smoothed, firmed and bitter folds and nasolabial folds are reduced. Your face is brighter and rejuvenated.
Prices for a hyaluronic acid injection in the lips at Doctor Thanacody
The price of hyaluronic acid injections for the lips is 350 euros for a volumizing effect and 400 euros for the Russian lips technique. However, the price changes depending on the amount of hyaluronic acid syringe used.
In addition, the price depends on your treatment plan: if the aesthetic doctor decides on a comprehensive treatment (lips, nasolabial folds and/or bitterness folds), the price will logically be higher.
In any case, you will be given a quote after your first consultation with Dr. Thanacody.
