Until recently, correction of the shape and volume of the lips was only possible through surgery. Today, lip augmentation has become much easier and more accessible due to the advent of contouring. Its action consists of the introduction of special drugs (fillers) designed to fill the intercellular space and thereby create additional volume in a strictly defined area. Thanks to this, you can not only quickly and safely enlarge your lips, but also eliminate asymmetry or change the contour, as well as moisturize your lips!
Fillers based on hyaluronic acid
Currently, the most popular fillers for lip augmentation are preparations based on stabilized hyaluronic acid (fillers). This is explained by the unique properties of this substance, which is a natural component of the skin. Hyaluronic acid preparations not only perfectly create additional volume of the lips, but also have a number of positive effects on the skin of the face - they promote moisture retention, stimulate the synthesis of new collagen, and neutralize free radicals. Thus, along with lip augmentation, fillers provide a good rejuvenating effect on the face.
What before and after results can you get?
The injection method of lip augmentation has many advantages.
First, of course, is the correction of shortcomings. With the help of hyaluronic acid, you can remove lip asymmetry, get rid of imperfections, and fill out wrinkles. All unevenness and defects of the lips will disappear, the lips will become smooth and plump.
Secondly, this is lip augmentation. Your lips will become plump and juicy, and most women will envy you. A face with full lips will look much more beautiful, you will get a completely new look for yourself. In addition, your lips will be moisturized, and they will remain moisturized throughout the entire period of action of the drug. Hyaluron is a biodegradable substance found in the body that does an excellent job of moisturizing the lips.
This procedure is absolutely safe for the body, you will not experience any complications, the drug will definitely take root. The procedure leaves no traces, no scars. This is a completely invisible procedure. In addition, there is no allergy to hyaluron, since it is contained in the body. If you don’t like the result, then you don’t have to walk around with ugly lips - you can inject another drug that breaks down hyaluron, it will return your lips to their previous appearance. Removing hyaluron is as easy as introducing it.
Safety of lip contouring
The safety of the correction procedure is ensured by the high degree of purification of the fillers. With one session, you can solve a whole range of problems: increase the volume of the lips, change their natural contours and model their shape, give the lips smoothness, softness and sensuality. The choice of the most suitable drug is made by a cosmetologist at a preliminary consultation. The nature of the expected changes, the characteristics of the patient’s skin, and other individual wishes are taken into account. Safety is an important criterion for this procedure, therefore, only drugs that have proven themselves and have a quality certificate in the EU and registration in Russia are used in lip contouring.
Indications for lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid
The reason for the change can be purely aesthetic, when you need to give your lips a clear contour, softness and expressiveness. But such a decision is not just following a trend. There are many people who need cosmetic lip correction.
These are the following cases:
Muscular asymmetry of the lips, when one lip is disproportionately larger or smaller than the other. Congenital facial defects, such as cleft lip, after surgery. Consequences of trauma in the mouth, scars or deformation. Violation of facial proportions. For example, in the case of too thin lips with large facial features. Low moisture content, dry lips, their tendency to peel. Age correction.
The procedure also
prevents cracks and dryness; for this it is not necessary to use a large amount of gel, just 0.5 ml is enough and your lips will always be fresh and have a slight swelling - the effect of kissed lips.
How is the procedure done?
Lip contouring is performed under local anesthesia: before the procedure, the doctor applies a cream with an anesthetic substance. After this, a series of injections of hyaluronic filler are performed into certain areas at varying depths. At the end of the procedure, the doctor will perform a gentle massage to evenly distribute the drug in the treated area. The number of injections and volume of filler is determined individually, depending on the goals of correction and the characteristics of a particular patient. The duration of the procedure itself is 15-25 minutes.

Non-injection procedure
Mesococktails can be injected into a girl’s lips without the use of injections. The absence of mechanical damage to the skin makes the procedure safer and less painful, and the recovery period is reduced to a minimum.
Non-injection mesotherapy is performed only in the salon using a special device that emits electromagnetic pulses. They pass through the skin, facilitating the rapid absorption of nutrients.
But keep in mind that in this case, the components of the composition are delivered to the upper layers of the dermis, which is why the result of mesotherapy is less than usual - up to 5-7 months.
Lip mesotherapy: the essence of the procedure
Lip mesotherapy is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of special preparations into the structure of the skin.
Meso-cocktails selected by a cosmetologist saturate epithelial cells with useful substances and awaken natural metabolic processes in the dermis, which slow down with age.
If conventional facial mesotherapy is aimed mainly at eliminating signs of photoaging of the skin, then the effect of the procedure on a girl’s lips is often compared to Botox, since their volume also increases and the general condition is transformed.
How it's done
The procedure consists of several stages:
When a patient enters our clinic, the receptionist asks to fill out medical documentation: voluntary informed consent for the procedure and a medical record. Next, you need to go to the doctor’s office, where a consultation is held, issues of choosing the shape, contour, and fullness of the lips are resolved. The drug and administration method are selected. Local anesthesia is given. The most commonly used cream is lidocaine. After lubricating your lips with cream, you need to wait 15 minutes. Now the injections will be completely painless. Fillers are injected with a special thin needle.
After administration, the doctor performs a light massage to properly distribute the gel and lubricates the lips with healing ointment.
Fractional lip mesotherapy and its features
Fractional lip mesotherapy is a hardware technique that uses a small device equipped with many small needles. As the device moves across the treated area, it creates punctures on it, through which the meso-cocktail penetrates the dermis.
Fractional mesotherapy is performed only in cosmetology, since only a certified master can use the device.
Methodology
The procedure always begins with preparing the skin - it is cleaned and treated with a disinfectant solution. Painkillers are not usually used.
Then the cosmetologist prepares the device itself. He puts on a sterile nozzle, sets the necessary settings and begins the procedure:
- The cosmetologist applies a thick layer of meso-cocktail to the treated area.
- The device is installed on the skin and begins to gradually move across it. The lower lip is usually treated first, then the upper lip, and then the area around the lips.
- After the procedure is completed, excess meso-cocktail is removed from the skin, and it is re-treated with a disinfectant solution.
- A soothing lotion is applied.
The session usually takes about twenty minutes, and during the procedure the girl does not feel any discomfort.
Tints for the procedure
Cosmetologists often add special pigments – tints – to the meso-cocktail. Thanks to them, you can give your lips the desired shade - both natural light pink and dark burgundy.
The meso cocktail will not give your lips a bright, saturated color, but it will refresh them and save you from the need to constantly paint them with lipsticks and glosses.
The following tints are most often used in lip mesotherapy:
- Water Lip Stain;
- Salmon;
- Lip pigment NUDE;
- Sweet Glam Tint Glow Mini Kit.
One dose of tint usually costs from 300 to 2000 rubles, and it lasts for 3-4 sessions.
Result before and after
In the photo you can clearly see the effectiveness of mesotherapy. However, keep in mind that you cannot achieve such a result in one session; most often, girls have to take a course consisting of 5-7 visits to cosmetology.
You can achieve this result yourself at home, in which case you use a small manual unit - a mesoscooter.
Contraindications:
Each case is individual and is examined by the doctor during the appointment. The most important contraindications:
minor age; period of pregnancy and lactation; blood clotting disorder; identified allergy to lidocaine; inflammatory diseases, chronic infections in exacerbation; autoimmune diseases; pathology of the endocrine glands.
The procedure is contraindicated in cases where there are already non-absorbable biopolymers in the lips!
Such structures can only be removed surgically. Fillers are not allowed on biopolymers. It is necessary to notify the doctor about the medications that the patient takes constantly and decide whether it is possible to stop them for 3-4 days.
Indications and contraindications
When performing classic facial mesotherapy, girls often skip the lip area. This is usually due to a lack of understanding of its effectiveness.
Now the procedure can eliminate the following problems with the tender area:
- Insufficient lip volume;
- Asymmetry;
- Lack of a clear outline;
- Deep nasolabial fold;
- Cuperosis;
- Pigmentation;
- Scars;
- Excessive dry lips.
As a standard, meso cocktails contain only safe and non-toxic components that quickly penetrate the tissue structure and are evenly distributed throughout them without being rejected by the girl’s body.
However, the procedure still has some limitations due to health reasons:
- Diabetes.
- Low blood clotting rate.
- Pregnancy, lactation.
- Diseases of the cardiovascular system.
- Skin lesions.
- Tumor.
- Fungus.
- Individual intolerance to the components of the composition.
To make sure you are not allergic to the drug, first apply it to a small area of skin for 20-30 minutes, rinse, and monitor the skin reaction.
It is important to observe contraindications not only to avoid undesirable consequences, but also to increase the efficiency of manipulations and the rate of absorption of nutrients.
