What Kind of Lip Filler Do We Use (and Why It Matters)


By Dr. Erin Lucie, DNP, APRN, FNP-C — Founder of Luminate Clinic in Tulsa, OK


Have you ever seen a lip filler before-and-after and thought:
“Wow, those lips are gorgeous…but what’s going on with the rest of their skin?”

Exactly. Me too.

At Luminate, we believe your lips should be the icing on the cupcake—not the whole dessert. While we love a beautifully balanced pout, we also care about the whole picture—from your skin’s health and tone to the structure and safety behind every injection.

And let’s get one thing straight: cheap lip filler isn’t a deal. It’s a risk.
As someone who’s been in aesthetics for over 20 years and injecting for more than 15, I can confidently say that lip filler is a medical procedure—not a makeup trend.

Let’s talk about how we approach lips at Luminate Clinic and why we’re one of the most trusted places for lip filler in Tulsa.


Tulsa Lip Filler Prices: What’s the Real Cost?

We get this question a lot:
“How much is lip filler in Tulsa?”

You’ll see prices all over the map—anywhere from $350 to $850+ depending on who’s injecting, what they’re using, and how many “syringes” they’re charging you for.

Here’s how we price things at Luminate:

  • 0.5 mL – $299
  • Up to 1 mL – $500 (Save $100)
  • Up to 1.5 mL – $800 (Save $200)

We also offer a special Tox + Lips combo pricing when booked together, so be sure to ask your injector about that!


We Don’t Price by the Syringe—Here’s Why

When we create your lips, we don’t pull from just one syringe of filler. We often use 2–3 different types of filler in a single session, each with different consistencies and tensile strengths. This allows us to shape, soften, and support your lips exactly where it’s needed.

Would a painter use just one brush? Of course not. Neither do we.

That’s why we price by the mL—not by the brand—so you can get a fully customized treatment without being nickel-and-dimed by the syringe.


The Fillers We Use (And What We Avoid)

We’re proud to offer a range of FDA-approved fillers. Our favorites for lips include:

  • Restylane Refyne & Kysse (Galderma): Known for natural movement and softness
  • Versa (Prollenium): The smoothest molecule with the least swelling and highest HA content
  • RHA Redensity & RHA 2 (Revance): Great for lip lines and subtle border enhancement
  • Juvéderm Ultra & Ultra Plus: The original lip filler—still available, but our patients often report significant swelling, so it’s no longer our first choice

Because we buy in bulk, we’re able to offer premium fillers at competitive prices—without compromising safety or results.


Every Lip Appointment is Custom

No two lips are the same. That’s why we:

  • Evaluate your lip shape, symmetry, and structure
  • Choose products based on your anatomy and goals
  • Address fine lines and hydration around the lips
  • Use artistry and advanced technique—not just volume

We’re not here to give you someone else’s lips. We’re here to give you yours—enhanced, refreshed, and totally you.


Ultrasound-Guided Technology = Ultimate Safety

At the time of this blog, Luminate Clinic is the only provider in Tulsa using ultrasound imaging before and during lip injections.

That means:

  • We can visualize the arteries and veins before injecting
  • We know exactly where we’re placing product
  • If a complication arises (like a vascular occlusion), we can guide our dissolving process safely and effectively

In fact, other clinics in the area send their filler complications to us for correction and care. Safety isn’t a feature—it’s our foundation.


Lips Are the Icing—But Let’s Not Forget the Cake

Let’s go back to our cupcake metaphor: lips are the icing, but your skin is the cake.

There’s nothing worse than investing in gorgeous lips… only to have them surrounded by dry, dull, or inflamed skin. We want the whole photo of you to glow, not just your mouth.

That’s why we encourage patients to combine lip filler with:

Beautiful lips start with a beautiful canvas.


Let’s Talk About Memberships & LIP CLUB

Now, if you’re already a Luminate member, you might wonder:
“Do I get my membership discount on lip filler?”

Here’s the scoop: because our lip filler pricing is already discounted and part of our LIP CLUB, we don’t stack an additional membership discount on top of that. But the good news is—you’re still winning!

Here’s how:

  • Lip filler is already on sale year-round—no waiting for a promo
  • Your monthly membership funds roll over, so when it’s time for lips, your appointment may already be paid for
  • You still earn double loyalty points
  • You get discounts on our best lip care products

Two of our favorites for post-lip treatment:

  • Luminate Arnica Lip Gloss: A pharmaceutical-grade gloss made just for us, infused with arnica to reduce bruising and swelling, while adding a gorgeous natural shine
  • Hydrinity Lip Lux: A deeply hydrating, skin-repairing gloss packed with hyaluronic acid and peptides to restore and protect your lips

These products help your results last longer and your lips heal faster—plus they feel amazing.
