Hyaluronic Acid – the best solution for beautiful lips!

The Trend for Full Lips Has Been Around for Decades

It all began back in the 1950s and 60s with movie stars like Marilyn Monroe. The iconic look of her lips was partly thanks to her natural features, but also the result of cosmetic treatments she reportedly underwent. Her lips were full and rounded, adding incredible expression to her face. While proper lip care was essential, some sources claim the actress had a series of collagen injections to enhance the shape and volume of her lips even further. But it wasn’t just the size of Marilyn Monroe’s lips that made them so memorable. She carefully chose her makeup and styling to highlight them even more. Bold red or pink lipstick was her signature, often paired with soft blonde waves and sparkling diamond earrings—creating the timeless Hollywood icon we still admire today.

Marilyn Monroe’s lips became a lasting symbol of femininity and sex appeal, one that has endured for decades since her rise to fame. Even today, countless women around the world draw inspiration from her signature style and try to recreate the look of her iconic lips. Cosmetic brands have also embraced this trend, offering products designed to help achieve a similar effect.

In Poland, actresses like Kalina Jędrusik and Ewa Krzyżewska were admired for their full, beautiful lips. Later, the trend was further popularized by stars like Julia Roberts and Pamela Anderson, who emphasized not only lip volume but also bold, attention-grabbing color.

But when it comes to the ultimate ideal, it was Angelina Jolie who redefined modern lip beauty. Today, her lips are seen as the gold standard by women around the world—an aspiration that is now entirely within reach, thanks to the advances in aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery.

Lips naturally lose volume and definition with age, which is why fuller lips are often associated with youth and attractiveness.

These days, hyaluronic acid–based fillers are among the most popular aesthetic treatments for both women and men. They hydrate the lips and add the desired volume. This treatment is completely safe and reversible, with results lasting between 6 and 12 months.
Our patients appreciate this option for its relatively affordable price and minimal invasiveness. It’s truly an excellent solution for those who want to address the issue of thin or narrow lips.

Permanent lip makeup, on the other hand, is mainly used to enhance the shape and color of the lips. The two procedures differ significantly in technique.

Permanent makeup is essentially a form of semi-permanent tattooing, achieved by implanting pigment into the skin with a fine needle.

Many women choose permanent makeup believing it will give them visibly fuller lips. In reality, though, its purpose is to enhance natural beauty—not to change it.
That said, certain techniques—such as outlining the vermilion border and using 3D shading—can create an optical illusion of fuller lips. But if your goal is noticeably increased volume, hyaluronic acid fillers are the better choice.

The permanent makeup procedure can cause mild discomfort due to the use of a needle to insert pigment under the skin. The lips may appear slightly swollen afterward, but this usually subsides within a few days. Around a week after the treatment, dead skin may begin to peel, followed by a period of regeneration. The final results are typically visible after a few weeks.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally occurs in the dermis. It plays a key role in maintaining the skin’s internal “scaffolding” and ensuring optimal hydration. Thanks to this molecule, the skin remains firm, plump, and wrinkle-free. However, as we age, both the quantity and quality of hyaluronic acid in our skin begin to decline. This leads to a loss of elasticity and firmness. Fine lines start to appear on the surface of the skin and eventually deepen into wrinkles. Over time, the cheeks and lips also begin to lose volume. To counteract these effects, hyaluronic acid treatments are used. They not only slow down collagen breakdown but also stimulate its natural production—helping to preserve youthful skin structure and volume.

What if my lips are very sensitive? No worries—at the Anti-Aging Clinic, every procedure is performed with exceptional care. For added comfort, we often use local (injectable) anesthesia to ensure the experience is as gentle and painless as possible.

Hyaluronic acid in the form of a gel or liquid is especially valued in cosmetics. Thanks to its exceptional hydrating properties, it helps maintain the skin’s moisture balance, which directly improves elasticity and firmness.

After permanent makeup procedures, hyaluronic acid can also be used to soothe discomfort such as burning, itching, or swelling—helping to calm and support the skin during the healing process.

Unlike permanent makeup, lip enhancement with hyaluronic acid is a virtually painless procedure that requires no downtime. The results are visible immediately—lips appear fuller, smoother, and more defined right after the treatment. The effect typically lasts between 6 and 12 months, after which the procedure can be repeated to maintain the desired look.

Hyaluronic acid is widely used in professional aesthetic medicine clinics for various purposes. It’s commonly applied to enhance facial contours as well as shape and volumize the lips. Importantly, this method is suitable for both women and men who wish to improve the appearance of their lips or reduce visible signs of aging—regardless of age. It can be used to define the lip contour, restore lost volume, lift the corners of the mouth, and highlight the Cupid’s bow.
This fast and safe medical procedure can also correct asymmetry, offering a natural and balanced result.

Before the procedure, avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, and other painkillers that may affect blood clotting.
If you are on regular medication, consult your specialist to adjust your dosage if necessary.

The results of a hyaluronic acid treatment can be truly stunning, but it’s essential to follow your doctor’s aftercare instructions carefully.
Avoid intense physical activity, saunas, and swimming pools for a few days after the treatment. You should also minimize sun exposure to ensure proper healing and maintain the best results.
