No-needle lip plumper is a device for plumping up your lips temporarily without having injections. At the moment, you’ll only really find The Perk device being used, which was created to fill the gap between plumping lip gels and injectable lip fillers.
The Perk is a pen-like device, which attaches to a Hydrafacial machine. It works by giving the lips a thorough, mechanical exfoliation while at the same time soaking the newly scoured skin with a special solution of lip-plumping ingredients including peppermint oil and wheat proteins.
Yes, this treatment works, but its effect lasts for only a short time – usually a week or less.
You can use the Find a Practitioner tool on this website to find a practitioner who offers the Perk treatment.
No-needle lip plumper costs around £65.
No-needle lip plumping takes less than 10 minutes as a standalone treatment. Some practitioners also offer it as one component of a multipart facial treatment, which would take longer.
No-needle lip plumper lasts for up to a week, provided that you continue to apply the treatment serum to your lips to maintain their volume. (Your practitioner will send you home with a vial of the same serum that was used during your treatment.)
After the effect has worn off, you can have the Perk treatment repeated as needed.
This is my experience of trying the Perk lip plumper.
The Perk device uses suction to get a grip on my top lip as it starts its exfoliating business, which makes me want to pull away, except then I have visions of my lip stretching out like a strand of spaghetti. It’s a really strange feeling as, chunk by chunk, sections of my lips are vacuumed up, gently exfoliated, and at the same time drenched in the plumping solution. After finishing with the Perk device, the practitioner seals the serum in with a coating of lip balm.
My lips are definitely softer and plumper, not least because of the effects of the suction and the slight tingling from the peppermint oil in the serum. I am given the rest of the tube of solution that was used on them, and told to apply this at least twice a day, to keep up the volume. Despite doing this, my lips deflate to their normal proportions before the end of the week. This is worth a try for a short-term fix, perhaps before a party, but don’t expect lasting results.
The Perk is a completely different treatment from lip filler. Here are the main differences:
None, unless the peppermint oil in the plumping solution irritates your lips – though some people might like that, in that the irritation will make the lip tissue swell in volume.
