Avalon lip filler from Korea — what it is, how long it lasts and what it costs
Avalon is a Korean hyaluronic acid filler: what it is made of, which line is for lips, how long it lasts and what lip augmentation with Avalon costs at SANLE, Tbilisi.
At consultations we are often asked: "Which filler do you use?" At SANLE, lip augmentation is done with the Korean filler AVALON™. Here is what Avalon is, what it is made of, which line is meant for lips and how long the result lasts.
What Avalon is
AVALON™ is a line of injectable fillers made by the Korean company Koru Pharma in its own GMP and ISO 13485 certified plant. The filler is a sterile gel of cross-linked hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid already exists in our skin, where it holds water; cross-linking ties the molecules into a network, so the gel stays in the tissue longer and keeps its shape.
According to the manufacturer, the gel is of non-animal origin and contains 20 mg/ml of hyaluronic acid.
Avalon lines: which one is for lips
Avalon comes in several densities, each with its own purpose:
- Fine / Fine Plus — the softest gel: lip volume, fine lines and scars;
- Vital / Vital Plus — medium density: lip augmentation and mid-depth wrinkles;
- Grand Plus and Ultra Plus — dense gels for deep facial volume (cheekbones, chin), not used on lips.
"Plus" means the gel contains 0.3% lidocaine, which numbs the area during the injection. The manufacturer states that Fine and Vital carry the European CE (MDR) mark.
Which line you need, and how much, is decided by the cosmetologist at the consultation, based on your lip shape and what you want.
How long Avalon lasts on the lips
The manufacturer gives 9 to 18 months for the Avalon lines, depending on the skin and the line. The lips move more than any other part of the face, so any hyaluronic filler usually breaks down faster there — roughly 6–12 months. It fades gradually, so the lips never "disappear" overnight, and many clients keep the shape with a small top-up once a year.
One more advantage of hyaluronic fillers: if ever needed, they can be dissolved with a special enzyme (hyaluronidase).
How the procedure goes
- Consultation — shape, volume, health and any medication;
- Cleansing and numbing — a numbing cream, and in the "Plus" versions lidocaine is already in the gel;
- Injection with a fine needle, in small portions;
- Mirror check — you look at the result together.
About 1 hour in total. Swelling peaks in the first 1–2 days and the final shape shows after about 2 weeks. Day-by-day aftercare is in our lip filler guide.
What lip augmentation with Avalon costs
Lip augmentation with Korean filler at SANLE costs from 350₾, with European filler 450–700₾. All prices are on the cosmetology page.
When it is not done
No injections during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with inflammation or a cold sore on the lips, a fever, or an allergy to lidocaine. If you take blood thinners, tell the cosmetologist in advance.
