Book an AppointmentHow Do Lip Injections Work?
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in the dermis, joints and cartilage. Thebody naturally produces them to renew skin tissue and moisturize the skin.
The injectable hyaluronic acid used in aesthetic medicine and cosmetic surgery is identical to that produced by the body, and is obtained through biotechnological processes. Today, it is widely used and recognized for its skin tolerance and natural-looking properties . It is an absorbable product and its injection is different from botulinum toxin injection, but the treatments are complementary. Hyaluronic acid is very often used in combination with botulinum toxin to achieve the best possible results as part of a global approach.
What Are The Indications?
With age, sun and smoking, lips tend to lose volume, definition and firmness, which can lead to a thinner, more wrinkled appearance. Lip injections are a non-surgical technique for increasing volume, redefining contours and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles around the lips. Hyaluronic acid injections hydrate and nourish the lips, giving them a younger, smoother, fuller appearance.
These injections can also be performed on young lips to enhance their shape, appearance and hydration (a technique known as “Russian lips”).
Injection of hyaluronic acid therefore makes it possible to :
- Contour the lips
- Redefining the Cupid’s bow
- Increase lip volume for better symmetry
- Moisturize lips
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines above the upper lip

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do the Results of Lip Injections Last, and Are They Immediate?
The lips are a highly mobile and dynamic area, so high-quality, densely cross-linked hyaluronic acid is used to ensure longer-lasting results. The effects of lip injections typically last around eight to ten months, depending on the individual and their lifestyle.
Results are visible immediately, although some patients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. The final result becomes fully apparent once any swelling has subsided.
Is the Procedure Painful?
The area is highly innervated, which allows for effective local anaesthesia. An anaesthetic cream is applied beforehand, and the filler itself contains lidocaine, a powerful anaesthetic, to minimise discomfort. As a result, the injections are generally well tolerated.
What Are the Contraindications to Lip Injections?
Lip injections are not recommended for pregnant or breast-feeding women, people with active infections around the lips and people with a history of allergies to any of the components used.
What Are the Possible Complications?
- Edema, ecchymosis, redness, itching or pain at the injection site. These effects are transient.
- Asymmetry: a further injection may be performed in the following days to correct any asymmetry.
- Granuloma (inflammatory nodule)
- Infection (very rare)
- Allergic reaction (very rare)
- Necrosis (very rare)
To minimise these risks, it is essential to consult a qualified and experienced physician. At Claris Clinic, only specialized doctors perform injections. We work with hyaluronic acid brands offering the best quality guarantees.

Results
With hyaluronic acid injections, the lips can be reshaped and balanced, with a subtle increase in volume.
This treatment helps to smooth fine lines around the mouth, deeply hydrates the lips, and gives them a softer, fuller, and more rejuvenated appearance. Results are immediate and natural, and continue to improve over the following days.
