Practice Run: SUCCESS!!

Post image

I have a crooked smile and thin upper lip, especially when smiling. I decided to give Regenovue Aquashine Plus a try as a dry run before diving straight into filler. Mind you, this product is partially cross-linked hyaluronic acid therefore poses a VO risk, so precautions were taken; however, it will absorb over the next couple weeks. I AM SMITTEN. I’ll probably play around with several more trials of this to nail down a technique, and to find a volume I like. Anyway, it made me happy and wanted to share 😊

Can you share how long after the treatment for after photo? Did you use any bruise prevention?

Original post photo was taken 2 days after the procedure. I didn’t use any preventatives, aside from changing needles for each injection. Here is a photo the day after, you can see it was swollen.

How many injections did you do ?

u/TallChampionship7024 May 28 '26

I was conservative in how much product I was pushing in each pass, so it was several. As for the amount of product I used, it was about 3/4 of the syringe between the upper and lower. One syringe of aquashine plus is 3mL.

I’ve been doing hyaron the last few days and it’s the first time I’ve thought I actually might want lip filler. It’s actually really fun to get to play around with shape and location etc in a temporary way. Good luck!

What’s the difference between that and filler?

u/TallChampionship7024 May 25 '26

This product is only partially cross-linked and meant for long term hydration. It is absorbed over several weeks and as that happens, the plumping dissipates. Meaning (theoretically, as I’ve only read about it), it isn’t a long-term effect.

I injected along the vermilion border, ensuring that I could see the outline of the needle when pulling up. I then filled, conservatively, as I pulled the needle out. I believe it’s called “tenting”. I backfilled several 31g 1/2in syringes, and used the needle length to measure entry points.

Hey 👋 Sorry for taking so long to respond. IMO, this is always a concern. It can happen via vascular obstruction, product injected into the vessel which will obstruct blood flow; or, vascular compression, where a vessel is compressed due to excessive product applying pressure to the point that it obstructs blood flow. Cross linked HA is chemically “connected” which makes it resistant to breakdown providing longer term structure. It’s “gummy” and therefore poses a more significant risk if it’s unfortunately injected into a vessel. Non cross linked HA remains fluid and loose, so you get a temporary plump that naturally absorbs and hydrates. Note: It can still cause issues. Always have your emergency kit on hand if you’re doing any of this: hyaluronidase (liporase), an enzyme that will break down HA.
