CANNULA FILLER

A cannula is a blunt-tipped, hollow tube that functions as an alternative to a needle when administering dermal fillers. Dermal fillers have traditionally been administered using sharp-tipped needles. While both methods of injection have their roles, the approach of using blunt-tipped cannulas offers several benefits to the patient not previously possible using sharp needles.

With the cannula method, a small introducer needle is used to create an entry point for the cannula. The cannula is then inserted into the puncture site and moved along the natural planes of skin tissue; this provides a large area to place the dermal filler through a single entry point, giving a smotth and flawless look to the skin.

The cannula approach is less painful than traditional needles as there are far fewer entry points. There is also a decreased risk of bleeding, bruising and swelling. While needles are more likely to cause bruising and swelling because their sharp tip can penetrate a vein or artery, cannulas are less likely to do so, because their blunt tips typically push these obstacles aside.

Finally, decreased swelling and bruising results in minimal downtime and patients typically return to their normal routine immediately following their treatment.

RUSSIAN LIP FILLER TECHNIQUE

Russian lips are the latest trend in the lip augmentation market. The technique gives a modern, contemporary, model like look to the lip, without compromising on volume and lift and keeping the side profile beautifully balanced. 

The Russian lip technique gives extra volume in the body of the lip, giving it a fuller and plump look, with no chance of migration – where the products sit above the lip tissue giving a overfilled ‘duck’ or migrated lip. 

The Russian lip technique involves injecting tiny droplets of filler vertically into the lip instead of the classic injection of lines of filler underneath the border.   Using this new technique allows us to widen, lift and open the lip body without any compromise of projection. 

The best results from the Russian lip filler technique are achieved on lips that have not previously been treated, so this technique is highly recommended for those who have not had fillers before and can be carried out as naturally or structures as desired. 

For those who have had previous filler treatments, we recommend that the previous lip filler be dissolved prior to the Russian Lip treatment and we will discuss the best course of action with you at your consultation visit.  Removal is not always necessary, but If you decide to remove the previous filler, we advise that this is done at least two weeks before the Russian lip treatment. 

The Russian lips technique will require more time as it requires very articulate injections with regards to the placement of the filler.  Patience will be required to promote tissue separations for a seamless result.  There may be slightly more downtime than a usual lip filler treatment as swelling and bruising can be more substantial.  This is nothing to worry about and will settle down without any concerns. 

Russian lip fillers will last around the same time as a normal lip filler would.  It is not the product that is different, only the technique.
