Hyaluronic acid lip augmentation: using large molecules or small molecules?

Generally, hyaluronic acid lip augmentation uses hyaluronic acid with small molecules. The detailed explanation is as follows:

The texture of small molecule hyaluronic acid is relatively soft, and it has high compatibility with lip tissue. After injection, it can be quickly absorbed by the lip tissue, maintaining a soft and plump appearance of the lips, resulting in a more natural look. Additionally, small molecule hyaluronic acid also has certain moisturizing properties, which can improve dryness of the lip skin, making the lips more hydrated and elastic. The usual reference price for hyaluronic acid lip augmentation ranges from 2000 to 8000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically seen within 18 to 24 hours, although it may be accompanied by local symptoms such as redness and pain.

After hyaluronic acid lip augmentation, it is recommended to pay attention to lip care, avoiding excessive squeezing or massaging of the lips to prevent affecting the injection results. At the same time, consumption of excessively cold or hot foods should be avoided to prevent accelerated loss of hyaluronic acid.
