Lip rejuvenation and Russian lips in Zurich

After a certain age, lip enhancement means not just filling the red of the lips, but also paying attention to the perioral zone, the area around the mouth. The aims are to minimize smoker’s lines (also known as barcode lips), to restore the lips’ contour (the border between the red of the lips and the white surroundings), and to lift the drooping corners of the mouth.

It’s essential to use a filler that blends in well with the structure, which has to remain flexible. In the next step, the smallest fine lines are treated, sometimes with the help of lasers, and the lip contour is accentuated. This makes the area around the mouth (which usually ages earlier) appear much younger.

When it comes to Russian lips, there are two factors which are crucial to obtaining the desired look: the technique and also the material. This gives the lips more volume and a fresh yet natural-looking appearance.

FAQ

What are Russian Lips?

Russian Lips is an injectable technique in which the lips are specifically modelled. The lip contour and especially the heart shape of the lips are particularly emphasised. The result is very natural and aesthetic, as the entire lip volume is not increased. Due to the use of particularly high-quality hyaluronic acid, our practice can work very delicately and with millimetre precision. With exact results that are convincing.

What is the difference between conventional lip injections and Russian Lips?

Unlike conventional lip injections, with Russian Lips we particularly emphasise the middle area of the lips. The shape of the heart is particularly emphasised and slightly lifted. The result is less intense or plump than that of the conventional method.

Is the Russian Lips technique used very often?

The Russian Lips injection technique is frequently used at the Swiss Derma Clinic. This technique is very popular with our patients - the very natural appearance and the long-lasting effects are convincing. We only use high-quality hyaluron fillers from the world market leader Allergan in the exact dosage. A high degree of professional expertise is required to precisely carve out the lip contour. The Swiss Derma Clinic is one of the leading addresses on the market in this field.

What side effects can be expected from the Russian Lips method?

Side effects are just as rare with the Russian Lips method as with conventional lip injections. Moderate swelling on the day of treatment and minor redness are normal side effects. These disappear by themselves within the next few hours. Extensive sunbathing and sports should be avoided in the days following the application.
