YES aspirate to check your depth but it's still not going to be 100% accurate. As soon as you move that needle and deposit filler you could pull back through an artery and there you are thinking you are safe just because you aspirated before you deposited a linear thread pulling out.
Aspiration is a tool that can be used when injecting dermal filler, but assessment of safety cannot be reduced to the idea that an injector who aspirates equals a safe injector. At Derma Medical we encourage a range of clinical tools to maximise safety whilst delivering the best aesthetic outcomes.
All experienced clinicians in the industry should all aspirate. Not every trainer teachers their students this and we feel it is very important. This is because Dermal filler is the main culprit responsible for the risk of Vascular Occlusions; also known as a VO.
The Russian lip filler technique concentrates the filler into the upper body of the lips, fanning vertically inwards from corners of the lip towards the cupid's bow in what's known as 'tenting'. The injector will begin at the inject downwards from the lip border.
You can aspirate with a cannula should you wish to do so. However, if you consider the factors above, this is even less likely to yield a positive aspirate than a needle. Non-invasive ultrasound is increasingly being used to avoid vascular injury before needle placement.

Aspiration is most commonly performed during an intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SC) injection, and is meant to ensure that the needle tip is located at the desired site, and has not accidentally punctured a blood vessel.
Apart from the technical differences explained above, the procedure is essentially the same for the patient: Numbing cream. The icing of the lips. Injection of the lip filler with the help of a needle or cannula.
0.5 ml: A very subtle enhancement, ideal for a conservative first-time experience. 1 ml: The gold standard for a balanced look, offering noticeable but natural results. 2 ml: For people who want a more noticeable change.
Whilst most clients have shared that the treatment does not hurt any more than the classic lip, the Russian technique does risk significantly more bruising and swelling. Results should settle fully after 2 weeks and both techniques share the same longevity.
It states that aspiration is not necessary for IM injections because the recommended anatomic sites for IM injections do not contain major blood vessels and it may increase pain when paired with slow injection. Rapid injection without aspiration is thus recommended to reduce pain in children undergoing IM vaccination.
Yes, it is possible to have an allergic reaction to skin boosters. If you have any history of allergic reactions, you should discuss this with your practitioner before your treatment.
Aspirate the Needle – Next, it's time to aspirate the needle. With the needle inside the patient's body, instead of pushing the plunger down to inject the substance, you should instead pull the syringe back a little for up to 10 seconds and watch for any sign of blood.
Be Aware of Danger Zones: Areas such as the lateral lip area, lip liner, philtrum columns, orbicularis oris muscle, and the septum between the nose and upper lip are high-risk zones. Injecting fillers in these areas can lead to complications like vascular occlusion.
What is aspiration? This is only relevant for dermal fillers rather than Botox or sometimes with skin boosters and different depths and refers to fixing our needle in the position we are about to inject, pulling back on the plunger of the syringe and ensuring no blood has pulled back into the syringe.
Injecting at the “blanket” level requires not just an understanding of lip anatomy, but also skill in the technique. It's a balancing act – too superficial, and the filler may be visible or migrate; too deep, and there's risk of vascular complications.
Russian lips have become an increasingly popular lift treatment because of its natural-looking result and beauty. Unlike other enhancement lips technique, the lip augmentation is designed to create a more defined and lifted appearance, rather than just adding volume.
In fact, 1ml is often the recommended amount for individuals seeking a natural-looking enhancement. For those with naturally thin lips or those looking for a more subtle change, 0.5ml may be sufficient. On the other hand, those desiring a more dramatic transformation may opt for 2ml or more.
REVOLAX Fine is the most lightweight filler within the REVOLAX range and is seemingly a popular option for practitioners offering Russian lips. Due to Fine's lightweight and high-viscoelasticity properties, the product quickly absorbs into the lips to create a natural overall finish.
The average cost of Russian lip fillers falls somewhere between $700 to $1500 per treatment session. Since Russian lip fillers require a more precise application, some patients are required to spend a little bit more for this treatment than traditional lip fillers.
Doubtful. Most aspirations will have moved needle position enough to be at risk of being in a vessel at the end of aspiration. A belief in aspiration would dictate this to be true and would need to be repeated at every injection point. Using lips as an example, this appears unworkable.
Indeed, several randomised controlled studies have found that aspiration prior to intramuscular injection can lead to increased pain in children.
SC injections do not need to be aspirated as the likelihood of injecting into a blood vessel is small.
