In today's WBTU video, I'm going to be discussing the DIY filler pen that will destroy your lips - the hyaluron pen. Although its popularity has been around for years, there's been a sudden surge of people doing their own filler at home and posting their results on Tiktok, often with terrible results.
Places like eBay and Amazon sell hyaluron filler pens, whilst the filler itself is available for anyone to buy online.... from some sketchy websites. These pens are designed to fill in lip areas that have lost volume all without the use of a needle. Unfortunately, these pens can be very dangerous. In this video, I'm going to discuss the dangers of these pens and why you should avoid them, and why filler should only be done by a professional. Thanks for watching!

@@ganyu5139 So the reason Claire's is a bad choice for ear piercings is because instead of using a needle by a trained professional who know how to correctly place and straighten them, Claire's uses a piercing gun which are incredibly violent and cause your skin a lot more shock and damage because of the force at which the jewelry is being essentially shot through your ear. This usually means the hole is not straight it's usually diagonal which for whatever reason keeps the piercing from healing and means it's much more painful for much longer than when compared to a professional traditional piercing. So actually, bleeding is not necessarily a sign of how bad it is, that happens even at professional places and also it's possible that the gun does give you straight piercings which is probably what happened in your case! ❤❤

If you cannot afford to go to the professionals, don't get it done!

If anything you're getting done breaks the surface of the skin, get it done by a professional, if you can't afford it being done professionally then either don't do it or at least wait till you can. You are risking things as minor as looking a bit wonky to as major as literal blood poisoning or your body rotting pretty much. Anytime you open the skin even with a little prick or cut you are risking serious bacteria getting inside of you and destroying your body on a scale larger than the original opening.

Hyaluronic pens remind me of piercing guns. Regular needle piercings are straight forward, safe if done by a qualified professional and the needle is made to slide through the skin without tearing it apart. Piercing guns on the other hand are regularly used by jewelry store employees, it tears your skin when it shoots through your ear, increases the risk of infection and are nearly impossible to clean/completely sanitise.

Anything that involves cutting, piercing, injecting, etc, is NEVER worth trying to cut corners to save cost. Cosmetic surgery/procedures, tattoos, piercings, etc. A good result by skilled, experienced, and qualified professionals is not going to be cheap. Saving money is never going to be more important than your health or even your life. None of these are life-saving things - you will not die from having thin lips, small boobs, no tattoos, etc. If you can't afford to get it done right, then don't get it done.

I follow him on IG, YT, and TikTok. But it really just comes down to practice on yourself. Do easy areas first and don’t use a lot of toxin until you become more comfortable with it. Doing this myself was one of the best decisions I’ve made. During and after the pandemic, I simply could not afford Botox any longer but I feel strongly that these beauty procedures are not only for the rich. I also do my own microneedling and order trentonian and hydroquinone really cheap without an RX from an online pharmacy overseas.

I work as a body piercer in Sheffield and we recently had a licensing inspection and ended up having a chat with the inspector on PMU and athstetics. It’s not illegal as there is currently no licensing for this kind of practice which is why so much of it happens in hairdressers and other very un sterile places. The licensing legislation is very specific for tattoo and piercing so can’t be licensed under the same umbrella and there is hopefully going to be reform soon. But it’s honestly terrifying that it can happen. Unless your having it done at somewhere that carries out legitimate medical procedures and plastic surgery be very very wary. There is no law to protect you, if they made a complete mess you could contact the police and go down an assault charge route. But most places offering these procedures will have no blood born pathogen training, no clinical waste or proper needle disposal arranged and no qualifications. I’m very pro body modification be that tattoos or filler but it needs much tighter regulation all round.

Fillers are actually not "harmless". They have found now that they do not dissolve over time, but run into the tissues around the original area of injection. That means at some point if the injections are done over and over again, there will be bumps in places which make the face look distorted. Visible for example in people who had their lips injected regularly, the filler collects above the upper lip due to natural muscle movements, and slowly turns the mouth into a "beak". Fillers for the cheeks wander downwards and collect about half way through the face. Recently there were several documentaries about this subject on youtube. I think it's a good idea to stay away from fillers completely.

This, the problem with filler is that it does not dissolve, It needs to be dissolved. Like you said, it just starts accumulating over time distorting the face, that's why people end up looking a certain way when they do fillers for years. I think the procedure should be revised to involve dissolving filler from time to time before putting in new one. It's no coincidence that nowadays we see a lot of celebrities who got onto the filler bandwagon years ago are now all dissolving their filler.

Kinda really depressing how lip filler is so pushed as trendy and so madly sought after by people (who 90% of the time don't even need it!), but having it done safely is so far out of their price range that they'll resort to dodgy DIY stuff that'll disfigure them permanently. Even tho I believe 110% that it's your right as a free person to get injected and sliced up if you want, but it doesn't change how I feel like its become so normalized as to be expected nowadays and so invasive via social media and baboon-butt-lipped influencers.

I live in Ukraine, and here this is a real thing. I remember hear about this "painless" procedure in 2021, I think. I wanted to do lip injection, and researched, and friend of mine wanted also, so she was kinda hyped about it, like heeey, lol this is easy and fast! But I worry to much, since I had my hair burned before by specialist ( because of lack of reserch on my side). And since this is lips, it wil not grow like hair and I have allergies, also. So we been in "clinic" and I was scared. It was just cosmetologist, not with medical education, just some middle aged woman, who think she can do it. She not had documentation, or stratification, I not even see right equipment. When I asked about education, cosmetologist rolled her eyes like ugh. And started telling something about believing etc. Hate to say but you can not believe what people say. You have 1 life. You easy can inject filler, but if you have allergy you can not dissolve this filler. You tend have allergy to dissolving agent also, since it is much more aggressive, and can do it only with resuscitation team presents. So please check all twise before considering do any beauty injection/operation. Sorry for terrible spelling 😶 and stay safe

I wouldn't say filler is entirely harmless. For some people filler can stay around for years, much longer than it should do. Victorian Cosmetic Institute has several intersting videos on the topic, and why they stopped doing certain filling procedures. They also bring up an interesting point where getting rid of filler can damage your own body's hyaluronic cells (or whatever cells deal with this) leading to permanent voids, which then could require filler just to look as you did without it.

Interesting points! Never been interested in filler myself and I've never cared that other people do it (I carry a philosophy of "if it makes the person getting stuff done happy, then that's what matters"), but I really feel like the bad side effects or the long term effects really are downplayed or not considered. That, in my opinion, is wrong and those should always be communicated so that the person electing to get something done can give informed consent. I'm very big on people knowing every positive and negative effect of anything they're choosing for themselves in the most transparent way possible.

People think that needless injection is risk free because they think it's the needle that hits the nerve/artery/vein but it's usually the substance being injected that does the harm. And if you're putting filler into your face via a method similar to firing a shot gun at your face then you have a much bigger chance of hitting those important things. Looking effed up is almost a lucky outcome really.

I stopped after the FDA in USA officially stated that filler should not be injected with them. But it wears off uneven, even if it looked nice at first. I feel very lucky that nothing went extremely wrong and that I stopped when the FDA announced it was not for filler a few years ago. I have scars on my lips and some bumps years later where the filler was in uneven depths and is not worn off yet. Thank you for making this video!

instances of necrosis related to dermal filler are about 1 in 100,000 for areas of the face that are actually considered safe and ideal for dermal filler. these areas are the cheeks, lips, chin and the soft tissue of the nose. dermal filler is not considered ideal for the forehead, under eyes, or neck - Botox is recommended for these areas, not filler, so going to a qualified practioner who refuses to follow 'trends' in cosmetic treatments ("fox eye" surgery is a good example of a 'trendy' procedure that causes mild unwanted side effects that should not be performed for best patient outcomes) and who uses best practices is key, like James mentioned. for reference, instances of fatality related to car wrecks is 13 in 100,000, yet I'm sure you drive your car everyday. we all take calculated risks in our daily lives. I don't refuse to drive my car because there's a 0.013% chance that I'll die in a car crash, just like people don't refuse cosmetic treatments that might improve their lives in some perceived way because there's a 0.001% chance of necrosis, which is reversible using Hyaluronidase (an emergency filler dissolving injectable) if treated immediately by a qualified professional as soon as signs are detected. most of the time, signs are detected within 24 hours and Hyaluronidase is injected at the same doctor's office where the fillers were done previously, which dissolves the filler that is causing a loss of bloodflow, and the patient is in recovery by the next day once bloodflow is restored to the area. so not only is driving your car everyday 13 times more dangerous than filler, and not only does driving your car lead to death in the worst case while filler only leads to a medical condition in the worst case, but necrosis via inappropriately placed filler is often reversible, whereas death in a car crash isn't reversible. yet people drive their cars everyday, and fear cosmetic treatments. so, in short, when James says that fillers are harmless, he's not wrong. if driving a car is considered harmless, even though you're 13 times more likely to literally die in your car than you are to get potentially reversible necrosis from filler, then filler is probably also harmless. I think it's easy to feel afraid of anything we don't understand, so I understand your hesitation. but if filler were as dangerous as you seem to believe it is, the FDA and other regulatory agencies would never have approved it for cosmetic use in the United States. I'm a biomedical engineer, and I know how strict the FDA's guidelines are, and european regulatory agencies are even stricter, yet filler is still legal in all of europe as well. I think that alone is a testament to the safety of filler. nothing is perfectly safe, and understanding risks is always important. the FDA performs a risk assessment for each product that goes to market, and safety is always relative. but filler and botox are both extremely safe if injected by a qualified professional. much safer than going for a drive on the highway. the horror stories you hear about online are always cases where a person went to someone totally unqualified or someone without enough practice injecting, or cases where a person went to a spa to get filler instead of a doctor's office, or someone who pushed and pushed for excessive filler that they didn't need and ended up looking scary due to experiencing negative appearance related side effects from excessive filler. filler is actually very safe. harmless, even. sources: the source below proves that only 1 in 100,000 people suffer necrosis after filler (note that collagen is not the same as hyaluronic acid based filler). www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6057733/ the source below proves that the current rate of car crash fatalities is 13 in 100,000, last recorded in the year 2020. injuryfacts.nsc.org/motor-vehicle/historical-fatality-trends/deaths-and-rates/#:~:text=The%20current%20rate%20is%2012.9,10%2C000%20vehicles%20on%20the%20road.

Diabetic of 30 years here,these pens look like my delivery device, this is crazy. I inject 4 times a day into my belly or thighs, I have to rotate the position I inject around my belly button in a clockwise direction, so I don't get hard bumbs under the skin. I use 4mm needles which are the smallest gauge I can get and still I can get hard lumps and sometimes I hit a blood vessel or two. Pretty certain these girls didn't swab the devices and their skin with alcohol each time they injected to ward of bacteria and infection. For the hard lumps that appear I have to massage the spot. I cannot image having no control as to the depth and injecting multiple times into a similar area. The skin thickness on the belly is pretty hardy compared to how fragile the lip area is. Have these young girls never watched botched? I'd be terrified of necrosis, hitting blood vessels, having and immune response to the foreign bodies injected. Hardening or using black market filler with dodgy ingredients. There was a famous story of a woman who came to the plastic surgeons for help, she went to a backyard filler party and they injected silicone and a concrete like substance into her face.

Hey :) I generally love your videos and especially this series. But I just wanted to say that one little sentence at the beginning „filler isn’t dangerous if done by a trained professional“ is kind of downplaying the reality. No matter how experienced the plastic surgeon that does the injection is - the potential side effects are still there and also: if something does go wrong, it can turn really bad really fast (i.e. tissue necrosis). Lorry Hill did a really good video on this. Filler is usually considered as „harmless“, „something you can do on a lunch break“, „non invasive“ etc. this narrative is extremely dangerous as it leads people to believe that they’re not in fact taking a huuuuge risk every time they get something done.

I find the medicalization of the beauty industry to be frustrating, because this kind of pen would be a game changer for people who can't take medication by mouth, but can be used and refilled to keep waste down. When things like this get absorbed by the beauty comunity, the price goes up, and completely out of reach of most of us.

You have control over how much pressure you use with the pen, by twisting it before using it. It seems that they had twisted it too many times, for the lip you should only twist it a couple of times. I’ve seen other videos of people using the pen in silicone similar to in the video and it was not administered that deep.

I wouldn’t consider any foreign substance put in the body as “harmless”. I get tear trough and lip filler myself. But some doctors are now calling out the risks with fillers. While some even are opposing to do fillers in certain areas such as the undereye no longer. With this being said, do your research, and only go to professionals.

I had lip filler done by an actual doctor in their own clinic. The results were good but I regret my decision. That was nearly 4 years ago and for some reason the filler hasn’t gone down/dissolved at all like I read that it would (it was juvederm). I no longer like the look of bigger lips so if I could go back in time, I wouldn’t have got them done. I know I can get them dissolved, but that comes with more risks. Think very carefully about lip filler as, in my opinion, is the most obvious type of filler. Everyone will notice if you get this done. My point is, filler is NOT temporary and your taste/style can change.

Hi James, hey so I thought you would find this info incredibly interesting, I just watched a documentary here on YT yesterday from the Victoria Cosmetics institute, “Why I stopped doing tear trough fillers” and it was obviously about fillers in the tear duct area, and hyaluronic fillers in general. What I found crazy is that it’s been discovered, documented, and published by some excellent doctors in Victoria, Australia that fillers do not dissolve and have been found over 12 years later.. and it actually ends up moving around the face and expanding like a balloon, not “filling” anymore. (Think the famous recent photo of Madonna looking insanely puffy and not even like herself anymore) They found this by doing MRI’s and every single person (there was A LOT) who they tested that had gotten filler, it lasted at the very least 2 years to at the very least 12 YEARS! And it normally lasted for *at least 5-10 years or more. Alexandra Anele was showcased in the video due to the horrible issues she had by getting tear trough fillers for her dark circles. She ended up having to have them removed after 5 years, which was a long, awful process. So please,🙏 just be careful with fillers, beautiful! I would hate for something terrible to happen to you!💕 Much love darling:) XoxoX

This was first pushed a few years ago on KZfaq by a creator who did not disclose that it was her company. Super shady and she made a lot of money off of peoples insecurities and inability to pay for lip filler. I think she actually STILL makes a lot of money from her company…and KZfaq never did anything for her not disclosing what she was pushing was from her company.. 🤨 She is part of the DIY genre, and uses a ton of filters to push the filler gun, and threads, over seas botox and stuff like that. I never got the filler pen thing, it just never made sense and it’s pretty much common sense that you’re causing contusions wherever you use it.

I've never gone the DIY route with injectables, but I'll admit that many years ago I researched it. I know that you can't solely consider the product markup when thinking about aesthetician/clinical services - there's the training/expertise and overheads factored in, too. However, none of that matters in the psychology of desiring the unattainable-to-you. If your financial situation changes due to unforeseen reasons, or was never good and likely won't get better… well, you might consider DIY to be an affordable pick-me-up. One less thing to delineate your 'Have Not' self from the 'Haves'. There's no blame in this observation. It's merely people people-ing, and unfortunately there are consequences in trying to close that gap on your own.

Now here is an odd story. I have ALWAYS had thin lips. I began a collagen building skincare routine last year. I always concentrated the stuff on my wrinkles around my mouth. (The Ordinary's Buffet +Cu, retinol, and Glycolic acid, Timeless Vitamin C)in my case, not all in the same routine of course. Well, I don't think this would work on everyone, and I didn't notice, but my sis, who hadn't seen me in all that time thought I'd had lip injections. I looked at side by side pics, and I'll be darned, fuller lips. I can't explain it🤷‍♀️Like 3 time as big! I can't afford injections! But can't figure any other reason!

This is the first video of yours I've watched (you keep showing up in my recommended for some reason even though I don't watch anything else related to beauty 😆) and I'm glad it was, because this is an important topic. I don't get fillers myself and never will because it's not my thing, but I also don't care if other people do as long as it makes them happy. But people really should research what these things are supposed to cost and the different procedures' pros/cons before selecting one to make sure they're not choosing something dangerous. There's too many scammers out there that will offer something like this and not care because money.

Hey James, I'm a big fan of yours! Quick question, would you ever be open to trying more of the SK-II product line (like their moisturizer, face wash, and serum)? I know they're REALLY expensive (like major luxury price-tag), but I've always wondered if their products, besides the Pitera essence, are as good as the price they're put at! I'd love to know if their stuff is actually like some transformative skincare magic like it seems to be haha keep up the great work!

It's not! I've gotten many of their products in a k-beauty and j-beauty monthly box and products are just okay. There was a lotion that was good but DEF not for the price! Their essence is my fave of theirs, but there are essences out there that are so much better and very cheap. My faves are kbeauty Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner and Frudia Pomegranate Nutri-Moisturizing Toner. They're both under $20. And anything in the Pyunkang line is amazing!

As a medical professional who has an aesthetic clinic with 15 years+ experience - thank you for highlighting the filler pen and issues. We need regulation in the U.K. - filler is classed as a medical device - so unlike botox which needs a prescription, so anyone can buy it. But we really need regulation, since CV-19 I’m seeing at least 400% rise in complications post botox and filler from going wrong!
