Hyaluronic acid injections are scheduled to be available from December 2026. We will announce when reservations open, in line with the start of the service.
Hyaluronic acid injections are a treatment in which a hyaluronic acid product is injected into the lips or nasolabial folds to adjust volume and hollows around the mouth. At our clinic, a dentist performs injections into the upper lip and nasolabial folds. The cost is ¥27,500 (tax included) for each of the upper lip and the nasolabial folds. A dentist who examines your teeth and bite will discuss where and how much to inject, looking at your teeth alignment and the overall balance of your mouth area.
Who this is for
- Your upper lip looks thin, or you would like to shape your lips
- Your nasolabial folds stand out and you are concerned that they make you look tired
- You would like to discuss the look of your mouth area together with dental treatment or whitening
Many people wonder how much will change and whether it suits them. We will ask about the results you hope for, and confirm at the examination whether the treatment is right for you. How much change appears varies from person to person, and results may not turn out as you hoped.
Treatment flow
- Counseling and examination: We ask about the areas you are concerned about and what you hope for, and check the condition of your mouth area.
- Explanation: We explain where we will inject, the cost, and possible side effects. You then decide whether to have the treatment.
- Anesthesia and injection: After anesthesia to ease pain, the hyaluronic acid product is injected. The guideline for the amount is 1.0mL per area (upper lip or nasolabial folds), and the treatment takes about 30 minutes.
- After the treatment: We tell you how to take care of yourself if swelling, bruising, or similar effects appear.
How long the effect lasts differs depending on the type of product used, the area injected, and your constitution. We will check your progress at an examination and discuss whether additional treatment is needed.
Cost
- Lip hyaluronic acid (upper lip): ¥27,500
- Nasolabial folds: ¥27,500
Both amounts include the cost of anesthesia. Our clinic offers self-pay (not covered by Japanese health insurance) treatment only and does not provide insurance-covered treatment. All prices shown include tax. Please check the latest fees on the price list.
What you should know (risks and side effects)
- Bruising, swelling, and pain may occur at the injection site.
- Lumps may form in the injected area.
- How the effect appears and how long it lasts vary from person to person.
- People who are pregnant or breastfeeding cannot receive the treatment.
- If symptoms that concern you continue, please contact our clinic instead of judging for yourself.
About the product used (drugs and other products not approved in Japan)
The product "Neuramis" (made in South Korea) used for hyaluronic acid injections at our clinic is a drug or similar product (hyaluronic acid filler) that is not approved in Japan.
- How it is obtained: We obtain it through an agent.
- Approved drugs and similar products in Japan: In Japan, there are hyaluronic acid products approved for lip augmentation and for correcting facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds.
- Safety in other countries: The Neuramis series includes products that have received marketing approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) of South Korea. Known side effects of hyaluronic acid products include bruising, swelling, pain, and lumps at the injection site.
- Because a drug or similar product not approved in Japan is used, even if a serious side effect occurs, it is not covered by Japan's official national relief system.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get hyaluronic acid injections at a dental clinic?
At our clinic, dentists perform injections into the upper lip and nasolabial folds as part of care for the mouth area. The advantage of having it done at a dental clinic is that the mouth area can be examined together with your teeth alignment and bite.
How is it different from botulinum toxin injections?
Botulinum toxin injections weaken the action of muscles and work on teeth clenching and downturned corners of the mouth. Hyaluronic acid injections add volume to adjust shape and hollows. Which suits you depends on your concerns.
