The Russian lip is a vertical technique, and that is the whole difference. Product goes in in columns, from the inside out, to build height without pushing the lip forward. Done badly it migrates, and migration is what everyone is trying to avoid. Half a day, one to one with me, on a live model.

What the masterclass covers
Assumes you already treat lips and want the vertical technique.
- 01Column mappingDividing the upper and lower lip into columns, deciding how many, and reading which ones a particular lip actually needs.
- 02Needle technique and pressure controlThe mechanical part. Entry point, angle, retrograde placement, and how slowly you have to go.
- 03Height without projectionWhy the Russian lip looks different, and how to get lift without a lip that sticks out in profile.
- 04Cupid’s bow and vermillion borderDefinition at the edges without a hard line, and keeping the bow where it should be.
- 05Avoiding migrationWhat causes it, how much product is too much for a given lip, and how to spot a lip that has already migrated before you make it worse.
- 06Depths, vascular safety and reversalThe anatomy around the lip, occlusion recognition, and the hyaluronidase protocol.
- 07Correcting asymmetry and product choiceFixing what is uneven, and matching the filler to the lip rather than using whatever is open.
- 08Pricing and promoting itWhat to charge for the technique, how to photograph it honestly, and what to say on social media without overclaiming.
Questions people ask
Is it suitable for beginners?
No. You need at least six months of treating lips. The technique assumes you already know how a lip behaves under a needle.
Will I be insured to offer Russian lips afterwards?
The certificate is CPD accredited and is accepted by UK aesthetics insurers. Tell your insurer you have been trained in the technique and they will confirm your cover before you start offering it.
Tell me what your lips look like now
Message me with how long you have been treating and what you are struggling with. If a foundation refresher would serve you better, I will say so.
