Hyaluronic acid for lips

Lips are a central feature of the face. They express emotions, joy, and smiles, drawing attention when you speak. Since the lips are frequently used and prone to expression lines, it’s important to care for them properly.

Hyaluronic acid is the only product that can naturally increase the volume of thin lips or redefine asymmetry. It can also correct lips that have become dehydrated or thinned over time, as well as fine lines around the mouth. The aesthetic improvement is immediate, resulting in fuller, rejuvenated lips that can enhance self-confidence.

The hyaluronic acids selected by Dr. Aimé are specifically formulated to integrate as naturally as possible in this area. These are highly flexible products that create a natural volume.

Before any injection, Dr. Aimé will conduct a thorough consultation to check for any contraindications to the treatment (autoimmune disease, active infection, pregnancy, etc.).
To optimize results and minimize the risk of bleeding, certain precautions should be taken before a hyaluronic acid injection for the lips :

• Avoid taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications for 7 days before the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising.
• Refrain from consuming alcohol for 24 hours before the treatment.
• Take preventive antiviral medication if you are prone to cold sores.

Hyaluronic acid lip injections are performed by Dr. Virginie Aimé in her office. The treatment area is cleaned and disinfected. No prior anesthesia is needed, as the product contains a local anesthetic.

Before the injection, Dr. Aimé will discuss with you the areas you wish to correct. The hyaluronic acid is then injected into the dermal layer of the skin. The procedure is quick, safe, and comfortable. The doctor will gently massage the area after the injection to optimize the correction and evenly distribute the product.

The effects of the injection are immediately visible, though there may be some swelling in the lips for the first three days.

It takes about three weeks to see the final result. This is the time required for the hyaluronic acid to settle into the tissues and for any reaction from the injection to subside. The results are natural, as the product does not affect the muscles or alter your facial expressions. It simply corrects volume, resulting in fuller and more defined lips that enhance facial harmony.

Hyaluronic acid is a resorbable product. Dr. Aimé uses high-quality hyaluronic acids that typically last about one year, though this may vary depending on your age, skin type, lifestyle (smoking, alcohol, sun exposure, stress), and the level of correction desired.

A detailed clinical assessment will allow Dr. Aimé to develop a personalized treatment plan. The cost varies depending on the type of product and the amount needed.

The price of a syringe used for hyaluronic acid lip injections is generally around €330, including tax.
