The Russian lip technique is a group of techniques that are used to achieve height on the top lip and dropping the bottom lip giving it a deep ‘V’ shape, in turn giving the lips contour and increasing their volume.

Lip augmentation is suitable for both men and women. Lip enhancement improves the lips contour and increases their volume. The procedure can be done on client’s over 18 years old (ID may be required). As we age, our lips lose volume, become more dehydrated and wrinkled, and this procedure helps improve the lip, sharpen them and bring the lips back to their former glory.

What’s the difference between lip fillers and Russian lips?

Unlike traditional lip filler, an injector using the Russian Lip technique injects the product vertically starting at the base of the lip and drawing the product outward toward the lip border. Rather than starting from the lip border and working inward, the injector works the product from the inside out.
