Hyaluronic acid injections for the lips in Saint-Louis (near Basel, Weil am Rhein & Lörrach)
Lips hyaluronic acid injections are now one of the most requested treatments in aesthetic medicine. They restore volume, correct asymmetry, or simply moisturize the lips in depth, while respecting the harmony of the face.
At the Biolaser center, located in Saint-Louis, (near Basel, Weil am Rhein & Lörrach), we perform tailor-made lip injections, adapted to each morphology and each expectation, with one priority: to obtain a natural, balanced and elegant result.
Why do hyaluronic acid injections in the lips?
The lips play a central role in facial expression. Over time or naturally, they can lose volume, definition or hydration.
Hyaluronic acid injections make it possible to:
- Increase lip volume in a natural way
- Redefine the contour of the mouth
- Correcting an asymmetry
- Intensely moisturize the lips
- Rejuvenate the overall appearance of the face
Each treatment is personalized to fit your face and avoid any artificial effects.
What results can I expect with lip injections?
The results are visible immediately after the injection, with a gradual improvement in the following days.
Injections allow:
- fuller lips, without excess
- Better contour definition
- A more hydrated and smooth appearance
- A natural and harmonious finish
The result is adjustable : it is possible to opt for a very subtle correction or a more voluminous effect, depending on your expectations.
Lip injection: natural or voluminous effect?
One of the key points of lip injections is the desired degree of volume.
A natural result (the most requested)
The goal is to slightly improve the volume and definition of the lips, without any visible transformation. The result is discreet and respects your morphology.
Fuller lips
For those who want a more pronounced effect, it is possible to increase the volume further, while maintaining an aesthetic balance.
Russian Lips technique (as indicated)
Some specific techniques allow you to work on the height of the lips and their projection, for a particular look. They are only available if they are suitable for your face.
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 does a lip injection session work at Biolaser?
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.
Then, the lip injection session takes place in several stages:
- Pre-consultation to analyze your face and set your expectations
- Disinfection and preparation of the area
- Hyaluronic acid injection using fine needles or cannulas
- Light massage if necessary
The session lasts an average of 20 to 30 minutes.
A numbing cream or a product containing an anesthetic is used to improve comfort.
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 first be necessary to treat the “foundations” before the “finishes”. The two techniques can be combined.
Advice before and after a lip injection
Before the session
- Avoid alcohol
- avoid anti-inflammatories/aspirin
- Come without makeup on the lips
After the session
- Avoid heat (sauna, hammam)
- Avoid massages from the area
- Moisturize the lips regularly
- avoid intensive sport for 24 to 48 hours
What is the price of hyaluronic acid injections for the lips?
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.
