Lip filler treatments have been growing rapidly both in absolute numbers and as a percentage from the facial enhancement procedures market. Some of the leading brands which My Lip Filler offers, including Juvederm, Restylane and Revolax, have been increasing further in popularity and are, overall, the preferred solutions for improving lip contour and volume.
Growing Popularity of Lip Fillers
Post-pandemic surveys of the beauty market show a clear shift towards lip procedures. 2020 onwards, the number of lip filler procedures has the impressive 25% increase. The overall change in client preferences and beauty standards following the global pandemic is clear. Several key factors can be pointed to as the cause for such a trend:
- There was a rapid increase in virtual meetings, which tend to focus on the face of the participants.
- In general, non-surgical facial enhancements have been more and more normalized culturally.
- Social media, in particular, plays a major part in the shift and setting the accepted beauty standard (hence the birth of terms like “Instagram look”).
- Increase in focus on quicker and less inconvenient methods for beautification, with minimal down time.
Shift Towards Natural-Looking Enhancements
A new phenomenon, which emerged in that post 2020 period is the move towards facial improvements which look more natural. The data of a 2023 survey shows that as high as 78% of the responders would prefer to get augmentation procedures which subtler and not obvious, as opposed to more dramatic look changes. In many ways, this aligns with the product philosophy of My Lip Filler’s catalog.
Key Developments in the Industry
Several trends of the beauty industry are worth taking notice of:
- Younger people are getting more interested in enhancement procedures – there is a noticeable increase in the 25-34 age bracket.
- “Preventative” treatments are also on the rise. More people look for ways to delays the signs of aging.
- People are more and more interested in custom tailored treatment process, which will offer them the best results for their face.
- Emphasis on safety and the preference for established and well-known brands is clearly present.
It is clear what the overall direction of the market is. This positions dermal fillers as a preferred choice due to their relative safe natura and non-permanent results. To that end, My Lip Filler offer a custom picked selection of HA filler, in order to accommodate the needs and requirements of our client base with quick and reliable results and long-term satisfaction.
Understanding Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Dermal filler and injectable implants are hardly a new occurrence in the beauty industry. However, the usage of Hyaluronic acid has truly revolutionized them. Since the substance is natural to the human body, filling gel made with it is completely biocompatible and biodegradable. Taking advantage from its ability to retain hundreds of times its own weight in water, when crosslinked its molecules can form stable gel for facial feature corrections.
Key Properties of HA Fillers:
- Safe and compatible with the human body and metabolism.
- Effects are temporary and easily correctable.
- Gradually dissolves over time in the skin releasing beneficial HA into the dermis.
- Results tend to look more natural than traditional plastic surgery.
A versatile solution, HA based fillers are used for anything – from wrinkle filling, through lip enhancement to facial contouring. Their ability to seamlessly blend with the surrounding dermal tissues allows for optimal results in terms of appearance.
Benefits for Lip Enhancement:
- Results are instant and the extra volume can be seen right away.
- Dermal tissues of the lip are hydrated in the treated area.
- The released HA molecules help indirectly for collagen synthesis.
- Easy control of the filler amount and better control over the results.
- Virtually no downtime is necessary and recovery is very quick.
Superior control during the procedure allows dermatologists and licensed experts handling the process to achieve better results. Whether the goal is to subtly enhance the contour or dramatically boost the volume, if using a quality filler, good results will remain for anywhere between half and a full year. And still, it’s a non-commitment, as the results can be removed and adjusted with ease, after.
Of course, the other main key point is the overall safety. HA fillers are much less invasive and cause significantly less adverse reactions. Even in the unlikely event of a rejection of the filler, the gel can be quickly dissolved with Hyaluronidase enzyme.

3. Stylage M
Yet another premium brand of fillers from Europe, Stylage is also among the global market leaders in terms of lip fillers. While they do have a dedicated product for lips, it is the Stylage M, which is, in fact, often the preferred solution for the mid face area – both for lips and nasolabial folds.

4. Teosyal RHA Kiss
The dedicated lip filler of the RHA line from Teosyal, the Kiss utilizes the patented Resilient Hyaluronic Acid (RHA) tech, which abbreviates the name of the entire group of products, to the absolute maximum. This formulation permits the creation of a dynamic HA gel, which is characterized by more natural results, more flexible (but still stable) gel, which moves with the lips naturally and integrates with the dermis better.
The benefits of RHA technology
Below is a summarized overview of what sets the RHA technology apart:
- Preserved HA chains: the structure of the crosslinked Hyaluronic acid is very similar to that of the naturally occurring HA molecules in the body.
- Dynamic adaptation: the gel moves and with the lip muscles naturally, as they contract.
- Long-lasting results: extended filler durability, which can be as long as 12-15 months.
- Minimal swelling: post-procedure reaction is almost completely reduced.
How Teosyal RHA Kiss works
RHA Kiss’ gel is developed utilizing an advanced method, which allows for a more stable gel matrix to be created. A direct benefit from that is the gel is more uniform and is more evenly distributed in the treated area, making the lip surface seem more natural and the lip contour more symmetric. Thus, the filler provides:
- Consistent and naturally looking volumization.
- Imperceivable corrections.
- Perfect proportion ratio between upper and lower lip.
- Overall, improved lip texture.
According to feedback from people that have opted for Teosya RHA Kiss, the results feel much better than other fillers they have used previously. Not only the does the volumization feel natural, but improvements in contour do not seem artificial.
Preserving natural lip movement
Lip movement in particular is one of the main issue when it comes to dermal fillers. Teosyal RHA Kiss, manages to solve a conundrum most other lip filler cannot. While many lips treated with HA gel might seem beautiful in picture, once the lip muscles start to contract and the lips move and bend, it might be quite apparent that a person has gotten lip augmentation. RHA Kiss managed to integrate with the lip tissues perfectly and does not make a person’s lip seem “off”.
Integrating Lip Fillers into Your Beauty Routine
While not in the same family as the daily skin care products like ampoules and cream, there is such a thing as a “filler routine”, sort of speak. You’ll definitely want to do touch-up procedures to maintain the lip volume and contour you’ve achieved. It’s worth remembering that it is possible to create near ideal pre- and post-procedure conditions, which are also important part of the whole scheduling process.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
When platting to undergo filler treatment, there are some considerations to take in account:
- If you’re planning on getting lip fillers before some event, make sure there is a good two- or three-week buffer before the date.
- Blood-thinning medications and supplements should be avoided at least for a period. Consult your licensed practitioner.
- Keep yourself hydrated. This is a generally useful advice.
- Try to get the procedure during a period you’re not as busy and are less physically stressed.
Maintaining Results with Aftercare Tips
First 48 Hours
In the immediate hours and days after the lip filler procedure, the patient should:
- Keep their lips cooled, possibly applying ice packs, for about 10 minutes every hour or so.
- Keep their head slightly raised when sleeping.
- Not use makeup, particularly in around the lips.
- Avoid physical stress, lifting heavy items and, in general, try to tone activity down.
Long-Term Care
As noted, lip fillers do dissolve over time. However, it is possible to prolong their durability by:
- Using SPF 30+ factor cream to protect the area against the sun.
- Use moisturizing solutions like lip balm.
- Do gentle skin cleansing at night, before going to bed.
- Again, keeping themselves well hydrated – this is important for one’s general wellbeing.
Professional Follow-Up
Making sure the dermatologist or licensed practitioner who carried out the procedure is informed of the post-treatment condition is very important. As a general rule of thumb:
- Schedule touch-up procedures at least every six months.
- Write down any chances in lip shape or volume or, even better, take pictures.
- Address any concerns you have to the specialist.
- If necessary, go on semi-regular checkups.
Daily Beauty Routine Integration
How one treats their lips, as mentioned above, will have a direct relation to how good the lip filler results are, long term:
- Ensure that the lip products used are gentle.
- Enhance the definition further with good quality lip liner.
- Use moisturizing lipsticks, besides lip balm.
- Use the so-called “lip masks” as part of the beauty routine.
Normally, any tips and protocol to follow after the lip filler procedure will be detailed and planned out by the practitioner who carried it out. They will be the one to asses the results and the post-procedure healing, as well as the end results.
