- Avoid touching, pressing, smoking, or using straws for 24 hours post-treatment to allow the lip columns to set flat.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between standard lip fillers and Russian lip fillers?
Standard Lip Fillers are injected horizontally along the lip border to build plump forward volume. Russian Lip Fillers are injected vertically from the inside out in tiny columns. This lifts the lip tissue upward, increasing vertical height and defining the Cupid's bow while keeping the side profile flat.
Is 1ml of filler enough for the Russian technique?
Yes! 1ml is the ideal volume for a complete Russian lip transformation. Because the product is distributed in micro-droplets to build height rather than deep bulk, 1ml provides noticeable vertical lift and shape refinement without looking overdone.
Do I need to dissolve old lip filler before getting 1ml Russian lips?
If you have significant existing filler that has migrated past your lip border or created forward bulk, we strongly recommend dissolving it with hyaluronidase first. The Russian technique requires a crisp, flat canvas to achieve its signature vertical height.
How long do 1ml Russian lip fillers last?
Russian lip fillers typically last between 6 to 12 months. Because the vertical micro-droplet technique locks filler securely within the lip body, many clients find their shape holds its definition longer than traditional horizontal techniques.
Is the Russian lip technique more painful or prone to swelling?
Because the Russian technique involves multiple vertical entry points, it can cause slightly more temporary swelling and pinpoint bruising than standard injections. We apply strong topical numbing or dental blocks to make the procedure completely comfortable.
