Is the Hyaluronic Acid Filler Pen Safe? 

Often, we stumble upon a new beauty trend that seems too good to be true. And most times that is because it is! This is exactly the case with the Hyaluronic Acid Filler Pen. 

This filler is promoted to be a painless, non-invasive way to plump lips. This sounds unbelievable because it is indeed unsafe. 

This recent, trending form of filler confirms why it is essential to research before receiving any type of cosmetic injection. 

How does it work? 

Hyaluronic acid is pushed into your skin through the pen with large amounts of air pressure. Needles are not used. 

Why they are unsafe 

  • Hyaluronic pens are yet to receive FDA approval. 

  • Anyone can administer a hyaluronic pen. However, The American Med Spa Association States these devices should be operated under the guise of a professional with a license.

  • Other dangers include restricted blood flow, blindness, cross-contamination, and infection, according to VICE.
