LUMIFIL® · Lip filler · Technique and treatment Lip augmentation with filler – treatment with Lumifil Lip augmentation is one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments worldwide, and its popularity continues to grow. Although greater emphasis is now placed on holistic facial treatment, the lips will always be a central area, and an important skill for practitioners to master with precision and confidence.
Anatomy and ageing How ageing affects the lips To create an optimal treatment plan for lip filler, it is essential to understand how ageing affects the lips. The lips consist of three main areas:
The anatomy of the lips and the ageing process
Technique 1 · Classic method Lip filler with Lumifil Kiss – classic technique The traditional technique This is one of the most widely used methods in lip filler treatment. The technique involves following the lip contour and then distributing the product evenly to create volume and shape. If additional definition is not needed, it is recommended to inject below the vermillion border to reduce the risk of migration.
Technique 2 · Russian Lips The Russian Lips technique with Lumifil The popular Russian Lips technique is inspired by Russian matryoshka dolls and focuses on creating height rather than projection.
The technique is particularly suited to patients with a long philtrum, a thin upper lip, or those who want a more defined and lifted lip shape. The treatment often works best on untreated lips (virgin lips).

Anatomy and ageing How ageing affects the lips To create an optimal treatment plan for lip filler, it is essential to understand how ageing affects the lips. The lips consist of three main areas:
- The white lip (white roll) – the skin above the lip
- Vermillion – the red lip
- Vermillion border – the transition between white and red lip
Reduced collagen Collagen loss in and around the lips produces a flatter and less defined appearance over time.
Uneven soft tissue distribution Produces a flatter and less defined appearance with reduced volume.
Weakened muscles and bone resorption Causes a more sunken perioral area and altered support structure.
Altered colour in the vermillion border Due to reduced blood supply over time.
