Hoping for luscious, lifted with a defined heart shaped lip? Well, the Russian lip filler technique is the new buzz in the beauty world! Although they are called Russian lips, this lip filler technique originated elsewhere. In fact, it was created by cosmetic specialist Tom van Eijk, known for his Russian lip ‘tenting’ technique, originally developed to optimize the shape and structure of the lips.
Inspired by the fat little lips of Russian dolls, this lip augmentation technique boosts your natural beauty without leaving your lips looking overfilled. While traditional lip fillers add volume outward, the Russian method (also known as the Russian lip technique) focuses on lifting the lips vertically, resulting in a more youthful and elegant effect between the upper and lower lip.
Our skilled aesthetic practitioners at Harley Street Skin Clinic are highly trained in this advanced technique as it requires the use of medical equipment to carry out the procedure safely and accurately to match your unique facial features. Russian lip injection technique is perfect for those of you that want a subtle lip enhancement, or a dramatic transformation!
What is the Russian lip filler technique?
The Russian lip filler technique has become a global trend. Unlike fillers that are strictly about adding volume, this technique is all about lifting the lips for a more natural, doll-like effect.
With micro-droplet injection technology, the hyaluronic acid fillers use meticulous vertical injection technique into the lips rather than horizontally. This unique approach:
- Add to the shape and height of your lips without an overbearing outward projection.
- A flat side profile instead of a “ducky” look.
- Delivers natural-looking, elegant definition to the unique contours of your face.
Choosing the right injector, you’ll walk away with plump, defined lips that look naturally beautiful!
