The beauty world is full of trends that promise quick, painless results. One of the latest to make waves is the HyaPen (or Hyaluron Pen), a device that claims to plump lips and smooth fine lines without the use of needles. At first glance, it seems like a dream come true, needle-free, affordable, and widely available.
But here’s the truth: just because something is trendy doesn’t mean it’s safe or effective. At Reimagine Beauty, our focus is always on treatments that deliver beautiful results without compromising your safety. And when it comes to the HyaPen, there are some BIG red flags worth considering.
Here are five reasons why the HyaPen isn’t the best option
1. Precision Matters and the HyaPen Lacks It
When it comes to enhancing your lips, placement is everything. Julie Mizarahi RN-BSN, our owner and licensed nurse injector at Reimagine Beauty, uses needles to deliver filler exactly where it needs to go, creating balanced, natural-looking results. The HyaPen, on the other hand, uses pressure to push product under the skin. This method simply doesn’t offer the same level of accuracy, which can lead to uneven results or product migrating where it doesn’t belong.
2. Read The Label- It Doesn’t Equal Risk-Free
Many people are drawn to the idea of a HyaPen because it seems less intimidating than traditional filler. But “needle-free” does not mean risk-free. The force used to push product into the skin can cause trauma, bruising, and swelling. And since there’s no way to truly control where that product goes, there’s an increased risk of lumps, blockages, or even skin damage.
3. Regulatory Concerns
In many states and countries, the HyaPen is not approved by health authorities for cosmetic filler treatments. This means it’s often performed by individuals without the necessary training or licensing. Without proper oversight, clients may unknowingly expose themselves to unsafe products, unsanitary conditions, or inexperienced hands.
4. Lesser Quality Results
Even when the HyaPen does “work,” results typically don’t last nearly as long as traditional filler. Because the product isn’t placed as precisely or as deeply, the body tends to absorb it faster. That means more frequent treatments and often more money spent without the same quality of outcome.
5. Your Safety Deserves More Than a Trend
It’s easy to get swept up in what’s popular on social media, but when it comes to your face, it’s worth thinking twice. The HyaPen is marketed as a safer, cheaper, and faster option, but in reality, it often delivers the opposite: unpredictable results and higher risks that could be irreversible.
“Our team recently heard from a client who’d had a terrible experience with a HyaPen treatment at another med spa. We wanted to help, but without knowing exactly what had been injected into her lips, it wouldn’t have been safe to proceed. The problem with devices like the HyaPen is that there’s no guarantee the product being injected is pure hyaluronic acid and the individuals using them don’t need to be licensed medical providers. At our Reimagine Beauty Med Spa, all injectors are licensed medical professionals with advanced certifications in aesthetics using only medical-grade, FDA cleared, pure hyaluronic acid products.” – Julie Mizrahi
