Hyaluronic acid on the lips is one of the treatments that have no age.
Due to this wide age range of application and different needs, there is a variety of techniques that we can and should apply.
In younger people, the goal is usually to increase the volume in the lips and correct asymmetries. After performing local anesthesia, hyaluronic acid is applied with a needle or non-traumatic cannula.
At older ages, we often aim to restore the lost volume of the lips and at the same time, deal with wrinkles around the mouth such as smoker and puppet wrinkles. And in this case, the application of hyaluronic acid is done with a needle, non-traumatic cannula, or even a combination of them.
The procedure lasts about 15 minutes, while after the end of the treatment, the evaluation of the result is not possible, as some degree of swelling has already started to appear.
Usually, stay in the doctor's office for about 30 minutes, applying ice to the lips to reduce the swelling faster, something that you can continue at home.
The swelling often becomes more intense the next morning, but subsides during the day and disappears completely, with the completion of 48 hours from the application. For anything that has not been described to you and you are worried, contact your doctor immediately.
After 2 weeks, the result of the evaluation is made, where it is checked if there is any possible asymmetry that needs correction.
