What are Natural Lip Fillers?

The easiest way to describe truly natural lip fillers is that they aren’t injected into the tissue. Unlike their needled counterparts, natural lip fillers plump, smooth, and enhance the lips without breaking the integrity of the skin. 

However, the definition of natural lip fillers is a little blurred. In many instances, it’s used to describe an injectable treatment that uses hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally produced substance.

Therefore, it’s important to define what is meant when discussing natural lip fillers— is it a natural, injectable product or a wholly non-invasive lip treatment that is totally needle-free?

Natural Lip Fillers: From Injectables to Needleless Lip Treatments

What are natural lip fillers that are needle-free?

Needle-free lip fillers are an increasingly popular option for those who don’t need or want injectables. There are various types, each focusing on smoothing, hydrating, and plumping the lip tissue. These include:

• An add-on to a HydraFacial: Specifically designed to improve the lips, this uses a device called a “roller-flex” to exfoliate and smooth. It also infuses the tissue with a serum that contains HA and other plumping ingredients. The results are virtually instantaneous. You’ll also be given some of the serum to take home to help the effects last.
• LED therapy: This utilizes various light wavelengths to decrease inflammation, boost collagen, and enhance the skin tone. Again, the results are pretty instant, with lips appearing fuller and smoother post-treatment.
• Ultrasound: This can be targeted on and around the lips to help combat signs of aging and improve skin tightness. The results are not as dramatic as injectable lip fillers but can be effective.
• Radiofrequency: Another subtle way to enhance the appearance of the lips, especially any fine lines that might have appeared. It also boosts natural collagen production.
• Microcurrent therapy: Minor electrical currents stimulate the tissue on and around the lips, helping to tighten the area and improve muscle tone.

Non-invasive natural lip filler treatments are more muted than those achieved by injectables. However, they can be very effective and are increasing in popularity amongst people of all ages.

What are injectable natural lip fillers?

Injectable natural lip fillers contain HA—an incredible element that occurs naturally in the body and binds with water to produce the desired plumping effect.

Examples of the highest grades of natural lip fillers are Juvéderm and Restylane. Within these umbrella products are many further grades, including Juvéderm Vollur and Restylane Silk. The type used will depend on your requirements and whether you want to go for a fuller pout or one that’s more subtle.

This is where the skill of the clinician comes into play. The best injectable placement is a combination of science and art. Think of your face—your lips, in this case—as a canvas and the injector as the artist who brings your desired look to reality. This is why it’s incredibly important to select your provider with care. While there are many people qualified to inject lip fillers, only the very best can create the most outstanding, natural-looking results.
