Hyaluronic acid injections have become one of the most sought-after solutions for lip hydration (gloss effect) and enhancement, thanks to their ability to deliver refined aesthetic results while maintaining a completely natural feel. However, one key question remains : after injections, do the lips truly retain their natural softness and suppleness?
To understand why hyaluronic acid can preserve a natural feel after injections, it's important to know its composition and properties. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the skin and has an exceptional ability to attract and retain water.
When used as a lip filler, hyaluronic acid works by gently and evenly increasing volume, mimicking the natural texture of tissue. Unlike other, more rigid substances (such as implants or fat), hyaluronic acid is flexible and adaptable, meaning it blends perfectly with lip tissue, preserving natural mobility, suppleness, and softness.
Several clinical studies and patient surveys confirm that hyaluronic acid injections for the lips help preserve a natural feel. For example, a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology surveyed patients who had received hyaluronic acid injections for lip augmentation. Results showed that 92 % of participants felt their lips retained a natural sensation after treatment. They described their lips as soft, supple, and not stiff, even several months after the injections. These findings demonstrate that, when injections are properly performed, hyaluronic acid can offer not only a visually aesthetic result but also a natural feel.
Another study, conducted by the University of São Paulo, found that hyaluronic acid is designed to mimic the natural texture and consistency of lip tissue. Thanks to its ability to attract and retain water, hyaluronic acid not only improves lip volume but also enhances hydration, contributing to an overall natural effect. This added hydration gives lips a smoother and softer appearance.
Une autre étude réalisée par l’université de Harvard a examiné les effets de différents types de produits de comblement sur la sensation et l’apparence des lèvres. Les chercheurs ont constaté que l’acide hyaluronique, en raison de ses propriétés hydratantes et de sa capacité à s’intégrer uniformément aux tissus, était perçu par les patients comme le produit de comblement le plus naturel. Les participants ont rapporté que, même en souriant, en parlant ou en embrassant, leurs lèvres restaient douces et naturelles au toucher.
Another common question concerns the ability to kiss after receiving hyaluronic acid injections in the lips. A study published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found that the vast majority of patients (over 90 %) reported no difference in their ability to kiss after the injection. In fact, due to the soft and malleable nature of hyaluronic acid, lips remain smooth and natural to the touch, allowing for normal and enjoyable interactions.
Les médecins expérimentés utilisent des techniques d’injection spécialisées pour garantir que le produit se répartisse de manière homogène et qu’il n’y a pas de zones rigides ou de bosses : comme la technique Fresh up, Dual Plan or Russian lips.
Pour de nombreux patients, le sentiment de naturel est tout aussi important que l’apparence. La possibilité de ressentir et de voir ses lèvres comme une extension naturelle de soi-même est essentielle pour le confort psychologique et l’acceptation du résultat. Les injections d’acide hyaluronique répondent parfaitement à ce besoin en offrant une amélioration subtile du volume et de l’apparence tout en préservant une sensation naturelle. Cela contraste fortement avec les anciens produits de comblement ou les méthodes plus invasives qui pouvaient entraîner une sensation artificielle ou une gêne physique.
Moreover, research has shown that patient satisfaction after lip injections is largely determined by how their lips feel after treatment.
Au fil du temps l’acide hyaluronique continue à offrir une sensation naturelle. Ce produit est progressivement absorbé par le corps de manière homogène, sans laisser de dépôts ou de résidus qui pourraient compromettre la texture ou la sensation des lèvres.
Certaines études suggèrent même que l’acide hyaluronique peut stimuler la production de collagène dans les lèvres, contribuant à une apparence plus jeune et une sensation plus naturelle à long terme. Ainsi, non seulement les lèvres conservent leur douceur et leur souplesse après les injections, mais elles peuvent également bénéficier d’une amélioration progressive de la texture et de l’élasticité.
When comparing hyaluronic acid with other fillers, it becomes clear why it is the preferred choice for achieving a natural feel. Thicker or synthetic fillers, for instance, are harder and more rigid. Moreover, permanent or semi-permanent products, such as implants, do not integrate harmoniously with existing tissue, resulting in a less natural feel.
Ultimately, hyaluronic acid lip injections are an effective solution for patients seeking to enhance the appearance of their lips while maintaining softness and a natural feel. Thanks to its unique properties of water retention, flexibility, and biocompatibility, hyaluronic acid stands out as the ideal filler for those seeking natural results without compromising texture or sensation.
Clinical studies and patient testimonials confirm that, when used properly, hyaluronic acid delivers results that are appreciated both visually and sensorially. Therefore, for patients seeking naturally plump and well-hydrated lips, hyaluronic acid remains the preferred choice.
