In brief
- Lip filling with hyaluronic acid adds subtle volume, accentuates the natural curves and restores moisture and suppleness.
- The treatment is not permanent, and if necessary the acid can be dissolved using the enzyme hyaluronidase.
- The treatment takes about 20 to 30 minutes under local anaesthetic, and you can usually return to normal activity the same day.
- Mild swelling, redness or small bruises are possible and usually pass within 48 to 72 hours.
- It is important to choose a qualified, experienced doctor, as incorrect technique may cause asymmetry.
Sensual, full lips with a natural curve are seen as a symbol of timeless beauty. They are particularly sought after by women whose lips are too thin or feel to them as though they lack presence. Today, however, it is easier than ever to give them an accentuated, flattering look. In the past, the term "lip augmentation injections" or "lip contouring" sometimes provoked negative reactions, mainly because of exaggerated trends that promoted lips that looked artificial and out of proportion. These lips flooded social media and became fixed in public consciousness as an example of what not to do. Silicone implants, which were a hit in the 90s, are now considered outdated and irrelevant, as they were seen as a permanent, overly heavy solution that does not fit modern trends of natural beauty. So what do women do today if they want full but authentic lips? More and more women in Israel and around the world are choosing lip filling with hyaluronic acid – an advanced technique that accentuates the natural beauty of the lips without changing the overall look of the face, and offers impressive results tailored to each individual, using safe, innovative materials that suit a modern lifestyle.
How can you give your lips a more natural, fuller and more attractive look?
Lip filling with hyaluronic acid is an ideal solution that adds subtle volume, accentuates the natural curves of the lips and restores the moisture and suppleness lost over the years, while maintaining a harmonious look in proportion to your facial features. Hyaluronic acid treatment is not permanent, which gives you full flexibility to control the intensity of the result and change it according to your preferences over time, whether you want a subtle everyday look or a slight accent for a special occasion. The main aim is not to "change" the lips artificially, but to enhance their existing structure so that it suits the proportions of your face perfectly, creating a balanced, soft and vibrant look. The process is carried out with precision and attention to detail to ensure you leave satisfied.
Why is hyaluronic acid the preferred choice?
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in our bodies, found mainly in skin tissue and responsible for keeping the skin moisturised and supple, which makes it the best choice for gentle aesthetic treatments. As we age, levels of this acid decline naturally, leading to loss of volume in the lips, fine lines around them and a change in their overall appearance. This is particularly noticeable in the Israeli climate, which accelerates skin dehydration. By injecting hyaluronic acid into the lips, it is possible to restore a full look, improve their texture and maintain a soft, natural appearance. The acid is absorbed by the body over time, which allows easy, personalised maintenance and makes the treatment safe and convenient for anyone looking for subtle improvement with impressive results.
Advantages of lip filling with hyaluronic acid
The advantages of this method make it one of the most popular aesthetic treatments in Israel and around the world:
- A natural, tailored look – improving the appearance of the lips without changing your facial features or creating an exaggerated, unnatural look, ensuring you look like the best version of yourself.
- Full control – the amount of filler and the shape of the lips can be tailored exactly to your wishes, whether you prefer a slight change or a more significant accent.
- Maximum flexibility – if you change your mind or want to return to your original state, the acid can be dissolved within a short time using an enzyme called 'hyaluronidase', giving you the option to return to your natural look at any time.
- A quick, simple treatment – the procedure itself is short, usually taking less than half an hour, and recovery time is minimal, so you can return to your routine almost immediately and enjoy the results without losing precious time.
How is lip contouring carried out?
Before starting, you will have a personal consultation with one of our professional doctors at the Dermacare clinic in Petah Tikva, in which we will examine your facial structure, listen to your wishes and build a treatment plan that matches your expectations and needs exactly. Next, the lips will be numbed with a local anaesthetic to ensure maximum comfort during the treatment, and the doctor will inject the hyaluronic acid into the chosen areas using a very fine needle or cannula, with careful attention to precision and symmetry. Treatment duration: about 20 to 30 minutes. Recovery time: in most cases you can return to normal activity the same day, with results visible immediately after treatment that continue to improve in the following days as the initial swelling goes down.
What are the risks, and are there side effects?
As with any aesthetic treatment, there is a chance of mild, temporary side effects, such as slight swelling around the lips, mild redness at the injection site or small bruises. These are completely normal and pass on their own within a few days, usually within 48-72 hours, depending on how sensitive your skin is. It is important to choose a qualified, experienced doctor, as incorrect technique can lead to asymmetry or uneven accumulation of the filler, but even in such rare cases there is a solution – dissolving with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down the acid quickly and safely, allows immediate correction and restoration of the desired look.

Frequently asked questions
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body. Chemically, it is a chain of sugar molecules with a very high capacity to absorb and retain water. In anti-aging, hyaluronic acid is used to treat wrinkles because of its ability to bind an amount of water 6,000 times its own weight – that is, one gram of hyaluronic acid can absorb up to 6 litres of water. In the human body, most hyaluronic acid is found in the skin, where it helps hold the cells together and keeps the skin moisturised. It is also found in the joints and the eyes.
From the age of 25, the body produces less hyaluronic acid, and by the age of 60 only about 10% of the original reserve remains in the body.
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are particularly suitable for treating expression lines around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, hollow cheeks, hollows under the eyes (tear trough contouring) and the jawline. In addition, hyaluronic acid is also used to contour the chin, add volume to the lips and rejuvenate the skin of the neck and décolletage. At Dermacare clinic, hyaluronic acid is combined in particular in the vampire facial (PRP), in which platelet-rich plasma is injected together with hyaluronic acid. This treatment helps to smooth, tighten and renew the skin for a young, fresh look.
Botox is a liquid protein that relaxes, in a targeted way, the muscles that cause wrinkles to form. As a result, the wrinkles are reduced. The substance is injected directly into the muscle that causes the wrinkle. The effect lasts between 4 and 6 months.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural, gel-like substance that is injected into or under the skin. Thanks to its ability to bind water, the substance adds volume to the tissue, and so helps reduce wrinkles or smooth the skin. Depending on the product used, hyaluronic acid is broken down by the body over 9 to 24 months.
We use high-quality hyaluronic acid from the world's leading manufacturers, containing lidocaine – an anaesthetic that helps reduce the sensation of pain. During the injection, lidocaine numbs the treated area, so the treatment is barely felt and is performed with minimal discomfort, thanks to the use of an ultra-thin needle.
