What is lip hydration?
Lip hydration is an aesthetic treatment that improves the texture, softness, and appearance of the lips without increasing their volume. It is performed with low-density hyaluronic acid, providing deep hydration and a natural, rejuvenated look. If you want to have healthy lips, free from cracks or dryness, this procedure is ideal for you.
How is the procedure performed?
The procedure is quick, safe, and painless:
- Personalized evaluation: The structure of the lips and the needs of each patient are analyzed.
- Application of topical anesthesia: An anesthetic cream is applied to minimize any discomfort.
- Injection of hyaluronic acid: It is carefully injected in small amounts to ensure a natural finish.
- Massage and adjustment: The product is molded to distribute it evenly.
- Immediate results: From the first moment, you will notice more hydrated and healthy-looking lips.
Ideal patient for lip emollience
The main characteristics that make a patient ideal for lip hydration are as follows:
- Dry or dehydrated lips: Patients with dry, cracked lips or those experiencing discomfort due to lack of hydration are ideal candidates for this treatment. Lip hydration helps restore smoothness and flexibility.
- Lack of volume or loss of hydration over time: People who notice a decrease in lip volume or loss of hydration due to factors like aging or sun exposure are also good candidates for this treatment.
- Desire for a natural appearance: Patients seeking a subtle and natural result, without drastic changes, to improve the appearance of their lips, making them look fresher and healthier.
- No relevant health issues: Ideally, the patient should be in good general health, with no conditions that could interfere with healing or the hydration process (such as infections or autoimmune diseases).
- Non-smoker or willing to quit smoking: Smoking can affect the health of the skin and hydration, which can reduce the effectiveness of lip hydration treatments. A non-smoker or someone willing to quit smoking is more likely to achieve lasting results.
- Realistic expectations: An ideal patient should have clear and realistic expectations about what can be achieved with the treatment. Lip hydration does not significantly change the shape or size of the lips; it only improves their appearance and smoothness.
- Good willingness to follow post-treatment care: Lip hydration, like any aesthetic treatment, requires following the specialist's instructions to maximize results and avoid complications. Patients committed to post-care are the most likely to achieve good results.

What tests are performed before the treatment?
Before performing a lip hydration treatment, no complex tests are required, but it is recommended to follow some steps to ensure that the treatment is safe and effective:
- Clinical evaluation: The specialist will perform a visual assessment of the lips, observing their condition, hydration, volume, and any imperfections to determine the need and appropriate approach for the treatment.
- Medical history: It is essential to review the patient's medical history to ensure there are no contraindications, such as allergies to the products used (such as hyaluronic acid, if employed) or conditions that may interfere with healing or the overall health of the skin.
- General health evaluation: Although no complex tests are required, it is recommended that the patient be in good general health. If there are conditions such as recurrent cold sores or infections in the lip area, the treatment may be postponed until they are resolved.
- Expectation evaluation: The professional will discuss the patient's expectations and explain the possible results, helping to define what can be achieved with the lip hydration treatment.
What are the post-treatment care instructions?
After the lip hydration treatment, it is important to follow a series of care instructions to maximize the results and avoid complications:
- Avoid sun exposure: During the first few days, it is essential to avoid direct sun exposure to prevent inflammation, irritation, or hyperpigmentation. It is recommended to use sunscreen to protect the area.
- Do not touch or rub the lips: It is important to avoid touching or rubbing the lips with your hands, especially in the first 24 hours, to prevent infections or altering the injected product.
- Constant hydration: Apply moisturizing lip balms or creams recommended by the specialist to keep the lips well hydrated and smooth. This is essential to prevent dryness or cracking.
- Avoid tobacco consumption: Tobacco can affect healing and the effectiveness of the treatment. It is recommended to refrain from smoking for the first few days after the treatment.
- Avoid invasive treatments: During the first few weeks, other invasive aesthetic procedures in the area, such as deep exfoliations or laser treatments, should be avoided.
- Control swelling: It is normal to experience some swelling or redness in the lips after the treatment. If significant swelling occurs, cold compresses can be applied, but always following the doctor's instructions.
- Monitor for possible reactions: The patient should be attentive to any signs of infection or allergic reaction, such as excessive redness, pain, fever, or discharge. If anything unusual is noticed, the specialist should be consulted immediately.
- Follow-up with the professional: A follow-up with the specialist may be necessary to assess the results and, in some cases, perform additional touch-ups to ensure that the treatment has achieved the desired results.

Dr. David Bentué
As an aesthetic doctor, one of the most common concerns among my patients is maintaining their lips hydrated and looking healthy. Lip hydration not only improves their appearance but also restores the softness and vitality lost over time, whether due to environmental factors, dehydration, or the passing of the years.
