Article: Search online or visit your local drug store, makeup shop, or skin care retailer to locate lip products containing hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid simultaneously adds volume and moisturizes your lips, making it a popular ingredient for lip plumping products. By hydrating your lips, hyaluronic acid may also help treat or prevent chapped lips, leaving your lips healthier and more beautiful. Hyaluronic acid plumpers are a relatively gentle alternative to plumpers that contain irritants since they work by enhancing hydration. That said, they aren't as dramatically plumping as other options since they don't penetrate very deeply into the tissue of your lips. Collagen peptides are known to promote cellular growth and rejuvenation, making your lips fuller and more beautiful over time. While collagen peptides promote beautiful, plump lips long-term, without additional plumping ingredients, lip products with collagen peptides may not produce noticeable immediate results. Similar to hyaluronic acid, collagen peptides won't penetrate the tissues of your lip very deeply on their own, so your lips won't absorb much. This is part of the reason they won't produce noticeable immediate results without the addition of other plumping ingredients. Products containing collagen peptides may also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on and around your lips. If you are vegan, you may want to avoid these products, as many are derived from animals. Just as caffeine may boost your mental alertness, it may also boost circulation in your lips, making your lips appear rosy and full. Unlike some other temporary lip plumpers, such as a capsicum and cinnamon, caffeine does not usually cause much burning or irritation. Because caffeine does not irritate your lips as much as other plumping ingredients, the plumping effect may be more subtle. Cinnamon and capsicum (chili powder) are both natural ingredients that are commonly added to manufactured lip plumpers. When applied to your lips, both cinnamon and capsicum cause mild irritation that makes the blood rush to your lips, resulting in a temporary plumping of your lips. Because plumping is the result of irritation, there is a risk of burning and other uncomfortable side effects with lip plumpers containing cinnamon or capsicum. These side effects usually subside within a few minutes. If you experience any adverse side effects, wipe off the plumping balm immediately. If the side effects continue for more than an hour, contact your doctor or take an antihistamine if you know it is safe for you to do so. Contact a cosmetic physician to make an appointment to plump your lips with filler injections. While lip filler injections can be expensive and carry a number of risks, they are generally effective at making your lips look gorgeous and plump for about six months. Some of the more common and minor side effects and risks associated with lip injections are swelling and bruising at the injection site, reactivation of cold sores or fever blisters, and tenderness around your lips. More serious side effects may include lip asymmetry, lumping, infection, tissue loss, or allergic reaction. The cost of lip filler injections varies greatly depending on the type of filler used, the doctor's experience, and where you live. On average, lip filler injections cost between $500 and $2,000 for a treatment that lasts about six months.
