What is the method?
Lip electroporation increases skin permeability through electrical current.
During the procedure, a weak, pulsating field is applied to the skin, which opens microscopic channels on the surface of the body. Through these electroporins, active compounds from cosmetic concentrates selected by a specialist are delivered to damaged tissues. The effect is thus achieved without operations, injections and does not cause discomfort.
Various cocktails are used in electroporation, but most often patients are offered rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid. Its molecules attract and accumulate around water molecules, making the skin appear moisturized, nourished and elastic.
In essence, the manipulation is similar to iontophoresis. But the procedures have two important differences: the route of delivery of components and the depth of distribution. During lip electroporation, the active ingredients penetrate the skin through lipid channels and work in the dermal layer. With iontophoresis, compounds are directed deeper, through the ducts of the sweat glands.
Combination with other wrinkle correction methods
Biogel injections are often done in conjunction with Botox injections. But you should remember that there should be a break between these procedures - gels are administered 2 weeks after Botox injections. After 2-3 weeks after biogel injections, chemical peels can be performed. If peeling preceded the procedure for introducing biogel, then you should wait until the skin is completely restored. When combined with biogel injections, laser and photorejuvenation procedures improve skin drainage, but at the same time somewhat accelerate the resorption of biogels.
The drugs are ideally combined with: blepharoplasty, skin tightening of the forehead, cheeks and chin, dermabrasion.
Biopolymer in the lips: advantages of technology
Today, from the pages of glossy magazines, many stars smile with charming lips. In most cases, it was not Mother Nature who gave them seductive lips, but the miraculous procedure of introducing a biopolymer.
There are many positive results, which are associated with the advantages of performing the technique:
- the substance used for injection is inert, which does not lead to further inflammation or tissue rejection;
- the biopolymer does not lose its properties and shape at different temperature conditions;
- administration of the drug does not entail the development of cancer;
- By following the rules of the technique, you can easily not only model the contour and volume of the lips, but also smooth out wrinkles in the area around the lips.
The procedure for introducing the biopolymer into the lips takes from half an hour to 2 hours, and the final effect is noticeable within a month. The final stage of the injection is massage. After lip augmentation using this method, the result lasts 4-5 years.
Advantages of the VACU Super Lips lip augmentation device from Gezatone:
- The vacuum massager for lip augmentation VACU Super Lips from the popular manufacturer Gezaton has an attractive and ergonomic shape, is turned on with just one button and fits comfortably in the hand. The massager is battery-powered, so you don’t have to look for an outlet, and you can use it at any convenient time and anywhere.
- The VACU Super Lips lip augmentation device from Gezatone has three types of vacuum intensity, so you can choose the most optimal type of effect for yourself. Thanks to the digital indicator, you can monitor the vacuum intensity level: blue – low intensity, turquoise – medium intensity, green – high intensity.
- Lip augmentation without injections using the VACU Super Lips device from the Gezaton brand will not take much time: just 2-3 minutes and your lips will simply be unrecognizable! Anyone can operate the device without any professional skills. Thanks to the silicone attachment, which completely follows the anatomical shape of the lips, the device provides maximum grip and the procedure is quite comfortable.
- Unlike injection methods for lip augmentation, the VACU Super Lips lip augmentation device from the Zhezaton brand does not cause any pain. The procedure will be gentle, painless, as comfortable as possible and will provide indescribable aesthetic pleasure.
- The additional septum, which can be used in conjunction with the silicone tip, helps you achieve the “apple lips” effect that you could only dream of before!
Side effects
- redness (~5%);
- swelling (~4%);
- minor bruises (~3%);
- pain in the injection area (~3%);
- skin tension is felt (~2%);
- slight itching (~1%).
Most often, side effects go away on their own within 1-2 days (on the face) and no more than 7 days (on the lips). In approximately 0.05% of cases, there is an individual reaction to the procedure - isolated acne, severe swelling in the injection area and in neighboring areas. Similar phenomena can be observed 2-4 weeks after the injection and disappear on their own within 2 weeks.
Benefits of the procedure
In terms of effect, lip electroporation is inferior to injections and plastic surgery. Many people recommend cosmetic manipulation only as a way to moisturize the skin, restore freshness and elasticity. It is unlikely that you will be able to go overboard with lip volume during electroporation; it is only possible to add a little swelling and brightness.
But if you don’t need too noticeable lip augmentation, the advantages of the procedure over your “colleagues” will please you.
Electrical treatment of integument is:
- absence of pain, most often only a slight tingling sensation is felt;
- maintaining skin integrity;
- affordable sessions;
- lack of recovery period;
- minimal list of contraindications;
- low risk of allergic reactions and intolerance to components - the same hyaluronic acid is synthesized by the body and is not a foreign element;
- the opportunity to attend several procedures until you achieve the desired result.
Despite the bright prospects, you should be careful when choosing a doctor. Inept manipulations can cause harm even here, and it is better not to experiment on the face.
Contraindications
There are not many reasons to refuse the procedure. Electroporation is not recommended for people with:
- problems in the functioning of the heart and blood vessels;
- diabetes;
- violation of the integrity of the skin, viral and other diseases on the lips;
- the presence of malignant tumors;
- mental disorders;
- elevated temperature;
- other diseases at the time of exacerbation.
To avoid possible consequences, the procedure should also be postponed during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
False name
In my practice, there have already been several hundred girls with consequences from the introduction of a biopolymer into their lips. The number of patients is not decreasing, since the negative consequences of the procedure do not appear immediately. It may take several years for the drug to disfigure the appearance.
I explain the essence of biopolymers this way. There are two types. Natural – a natural building material that is found in every living organism: protein, polysaccharides, nucleic acids, etc. But in cosmetology, artificial biopolymers are used. The most dangerous is a drug in the form of a silicone-based gel with microparticles of polymethyl methacrylate. Essentially, this is organic glass - transparent plastic.

If silicone is injected into the lip, the lip will change its shape at the injection site. It will become deformed. ⠀ Deformations, after the introduction of silicone into the lips, occur due to the accelerated growth of special connective tissue. ⠀ This process is called fibrosis. ⠀ Fibrosis is a protective, physiological reaction of the body to damage. ⠀ Lip tissues thicken, bulges and bumps appear. The lip grows unnaturally and takes on an uneven outline. ⠀ The operation to correct and change the shape of the lips is called cheiloplasty. ⠀ The photo shows cheiloplasty of the upper lip. The operation was performed more than 4 years ago. ⠀
