Lip augmentation with fillers and Russian Lip Filler has always been a very popular treatment here at Skin Logic Aesthetics. Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler is used to enhance the shape or volume of the lips addressing concerns such as unevenness, thinness, or a loss of volume. You can even redefine your lips’ contours, creating a “cupid’s bow” desirable to you. As expected, there is considerable artistry to lip augmentation.
Russian Lip Filler
As the name suggests, just like you see in Russian stacking dolls – or matryoshka and babushka, to give them their correct name; the Russian Lip technique shapes the lips into a subtle heart shape with more volume near the centre of the lips. Unlike traditional lip fillers, the technique tends to lift the lip rather than add volume, making them look more natural and an ideal solution for any newbies considering getting lip fillers. The technique also makes your lips appear flatter rather than the plump-look normal lip filler techniques produce.

How is the Russian Lip Filler Technique different
Whereas, traditional lip fillers are injected from the lip border and work inwards, during the Russian Lip Filler technique tiny droplets of filler is injected vertically at the base of the lip drawing the product outwards. This technique widens, lifts and opens the lip body without any compromise of projection.
Smaller syringes are used during the injections just so they can be controlled better stopping the filler to spill over to unintended areas, allowing more shaping options. It might take a little longer than your traditional lip filler, but it certainly would be worth it.
Is the Russian Lip Filler technique painful?
Absolutely not. Because the fillers are injected in the base of your lips rather than the border, it’s more of a tingling sensation than pain.
Who can get Russian Fillers?
For the apparent reason, the best canvas is a blank one. So, ideally, it would be perfect for anyone who hasn’t had any lip fillers done before. If however, you have had a lip filler done before, the filler will be removed by dissolve before your appointment.
How will I know which lip filler technique is best for me?
Well, that’s where we come in. Prior to any treatment, we have a free consultation to determine the best course of action. Ideally though, if you have never had lip fillers done before, we would highly recommend the Russian Lip Filler. With this technique, you get a more subtle look, rather than the all famous “duck-pout”.
Does The Russian Technique Cause More Bruising or Swelling?
The Russian technique allows for multiple injections with smaller points, so the bruising might be a little bit more noticeable, however these subsidies without concerns.
How long does the Russian Lip technique take?
Creating the Russian lip requires double the amount of time that the standard lip filler technique takes. Depositing tiny droplets of product between the lip tissue takes time, resulting in a smooth uniform finish, with that lip lift effect. The practitioner needs to be very articulate regarding the placement of filler. Patience and calmness are definitely required to promote tissue separation for a seamless result. As such the application itself will take anywhere from 30-45 minutes.
How long do Russian Lips last?
The Russian Lip Filler lasts the same amount of time as the traditional lip fillers would. It is not the product that’s different, it’s the technique used.
The Russian doll lip filler technique demands an artist’s touch so it’s even more important to find a trustworthy clinic.
