The Role Of Hyaluronic Acid In Lip Fillers And Dermal Fillers

Table Of Contents

If you’ve noticed volume loss in your facial structure, you may find yourself shopping for cosmetic products that can produce some lift to your face. As you browse the shelves or the online shops, remember that topical products might help the texture and tone of your skin, but they do very little for anything below the surface.

So, what can be done under your skin to bring back your bouncy complexion? We’re glad you asked because we’ve got the answer–lip and dermal fillers.

Lip Fillers + Their Purpose

If you’ve seen a photo of a celebrity in the last ten years, then you’ve seen the effects of lip fillers. These are such popular injections that some of your friends have probably already had them. But what exactly are they? Is there another reason to get them besides wanting to plump your lips?

Lip fillers are a form of dermal filler specifically for your lips. Their purpose is to help volumize your lips, smooth the skin around your mouth, and diminish lines on your lips.

Dermal Fillers + Their Treatment Areas

You can get refreshed and bouncy skin with filler in other areas besides your lips. Dermal fillers target volume loss in your cheeks, jaw, and chin. They can also help with nasolabial folds (laugh lines), dark circles and hollows below your eyes, and even reshaping your nose (non-surgical rhinoplasty).

Dermal filler can treat almost any facial area where you want to see more volume, fewer wrinkles, and a more contoured look.

Hyaluronic Acid: How It Benefits Your Skin

How do a few dermal filler injections make such a big difference in facial structure? Changing even the slightest thing about your body can make you look–and feel–like a new person. Getting that effect without having to go through surgery is a huge bonus. You’ll need some maintenance sessions to keep your results at the level you like, but that’s a small price to pay. (By the way, did we mention filler is also cheaper than surgery?)

The magic ingredient behind the success of dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid. You’ve probably heard of it if you’ve shopped for skincare products recently. There’s a good reason you’ll find hyaluronic acid in a lot of moisturizers or night creams. You already have this acid in your body. It’s one reason our skin is so soft and has a nice bounce when we’re kids and usually into our 20s and–if we’re lucky–30s. Hyaluronic acid plays a role in moisturizing your skin and making it look and feel young and smooth. In fillers, hyaluronic acid is in a gel-like form. This lets it hydrate and add volume to your skin. Who doesn’t love a good two-for-the-price-of-one deal?

Dermal Fillers Vs. Botox

Where do Botox and wrinkle relaxers fall into the mix? You’ll want to go for wrinkle relaxers if you’ve got lines and wrinkles but no real volume loss. Botox can help relieve muscle tension by limiting movement. This makes it great for wrinkles, but not so good for plumping your cheeks.

The Liquid Facelift: A Combination Treatment

What if you want both wrinkle relaxers and dermal and lip fillers? Lucky for you, we’re one step ahead! Add these words to your permanent mental dictionary: The Liquid Facelift.

That’s right, there’s a non-surgical way to see the results of a facelift without being exposed to anything sharper than a needle–or possibly the wit of your injector. (We can’t promise everyone is as nice as our Injectco providers!) With a liquid facelift, you can get the look and feel of a lifted and tucked face without any of the stress or downtime from surgery.

Let’s go over it again: A liquid facelift means you won’t have to have incisions, you won’t need anesthesia, and you won’t have to spend six weeks recovering. So, when should we pencil you in?

Find The Filler That’s Right For You At Injectco

Seriously, though–if you want to make your lips fuller, vanish those laugh lines, or add contour to your cheeks–lip fillers and dermal fillers are the way to go. We’ve got expert providers waiting for you at Injectco! So the only question is, what are you waiting for? Give us a call at (817) 516-4801 or schedule a consultation online.

Kiara DeWitt, BSN, RN, CPN founded InjectCo in early 2021 while also heading up the neurosurgery + neurology unit at Cook Children’s Pediatric Hospital as lead clinical educator. After completing her Bachelor's degree at Texas Christian University, Kiara realized just how much the aesthetic medicine industry was missing, wishing it was more focused on ethical decision-making and building relationships. Kiara’s dream was to create an atmosphere for her patients where they feel loved, empowered, and comfortable. She believes in a “lead to serve” mentality, hoping to create a more personal connection with both her patients and team alike. Kiara curated a team of 13 professionals across eight clinics, six of which are in DFW, one in Houston, and one in Austin.
Kiara loves nothing more than creating a collaborating, educational approach with her team, and thrives on personal and professional growth opportunities. She hopes that her patients feel heard and encouraged at every InjectCo visit and that they are truly excited about their personalized and well-designed aesthetic treatment plan. This love for education and safety in the industry led her to later found Texas Academy of Medical Aesthetics, an accredited training program that specializes in a 100+ hour aesthetic injector internship where students are able to train and shadow at all eight of InjectCo’s clinics.


Kiara’s patients recognize her and the entire InjectCo team as highly skilled and extremely thorough clinicians. She hopes to continue being a knowledgeable and approachable resource for clinical injectors across the country who are hoping to grow and scale their aesthetic business.
