New to DIY Lip Filler - Here's What You NEED to Know!

It should come as no surprise that I love lip filler. Specifically diy lip filler. Growing up I actually had no upper lip ( sad but true. Here’s a pic for proof) .

I remember being a child and playing with my moms lip liners and drawing in an upper lip, the concept of I overlining was “not a thing” in small town Canada and it should not come as any surprise that I looked ridiculous and wasn’t allowed to wear make up outside my house till I turned 16. Now I would get removed from my home right after my 15th birthday, that’s a whole other story, but it did mean I got to play with make up in the way publicly sooner lol

I had considered lip filler for most of my grown up life, but my intense fear of needles and the cost meant it wasn’t a possibility.

Then I discovered diy beauty and I knew that was something I needed in my life. And honestly I’m so glad I studied and went slow and steady.

But back to my fear of needles, yes I’ve overcome it, and that’s mostly due to my ability to numb really well. For lip filler, I decided to practice numbing techniques. I found taking a 0.25 mm derma roller over the lip area slathered with 10.56% lido to be very effective. Even more do when I remove the cream then repeat after 30 min.

Now before I get too far into which are my favorite Hyaluronic acid fillers for the lip area, I would like to take a moment and remind you that all Hyaluronic acid fillers have a VO risk. Please always make sure you have a full 10 pack of liporase on hand, have injectable safe saline and be ready to use it! And yes of your using a product that has a VO Risk, that risk is there regardless of technique or needle. ( so yes that filler from the Hyaluron pen has a VO Risk)

Now let’s talk the fun Part, the filler itself! Pain is stupid, so I opt for fillers with lidocaine mixed in :) My favorite lip filler is Tesoro fine with lidocaine, I find it blends into the lip tissue the best. It’s what I like using on myself and others. It honestly wants to be your lip tissue. It is the easiest to push out comparably so while if you are new it still might seem tricky, as someone who has used many different types I can assure you it is the easiest to use.

Now if your the few percent of my friends who metabolize ha fillers fast then go with Tesoro Deep this will be considerably harder to push out compared to Tesoro Fine because it is thicker but some find it lasts even longer.

Now that we have the products figured out let’s discuss techniques. There’s so many I felt now and at the time that it was too much for anyone to be able to really review. So I like to keep it simple.

Here’s a video detailing my First Time Lip Filler Technique I recommend.

You will want more but this 4 pillow technique will allow you to get comfortable piercing the skin. From here when you touch up you can continue with filling the pillows or a myriad of other techniques. Which if you are interested I am happy to make a follow up video :)

You will want to massage the lips to ensure that the lip filler integrates with the tissues well. When I massage lip filler I like to use one hand to press above the lip line on the interior and exterior while massaging with the other hand, this ensures that the filler should not get massaged out of the lip area preventing migration.

I have been filling my lips for years at this point so I made a video expressing what I wish I knew at the beginning. Watch now: What I Wish I Knew at the Start of my Lip Filler Journey https://rumble.com/v1zq8k1-what-i-wish-i-knew-at-the-start-of-my-diy-filler-journey-code-jessica10-sav.html
