Prick Your Curiosity
What is lip flip BOTOX®, and how does it work?
Our lip flip BOTOX® treatment is a non-invasive solution for subtly enhancing the lips that uses small injections of botulinum toxin to enhance the upper lip's appearance. Relaxing the orbicularis oris muscle causes the upper lip to roll outward, giving the lip a fuller, more defined look without fillers. The botulinum toxin works by blocking acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions, allowing the lip to rest in a more elevated and outward position, creating a subtle, natural enhancement.
How does lip flip BOTOX® differ from lip fillers?
BOTOX® enhances the natural contour of the upper lip by relaxing specific muscles, causing the lip to curl slightly outward and appear more defined without adding volume. In contrast, lip fillers use hyaluronic acid-based injectables to add physical volume and create a fuller lip shape. While lip flip focuses on subtle refinement and improved symmetry, fillers deliver a more dramatic plumping effect. Treatments like these combine well for a customized result.
How long do the results of lip flip BOTOX® last?
Results usually last 6 to 8 weeks, depending on factors like metabolism and lifestyle. Regular touch-ups help preserve the desired look.
Are BOTOX® injections for a lip flip painful?
Most clients experience minimal discomfort, as the procedure involves only a few tiny injections. The treatment is quick, usually taking about 10 minutes.
Can I combine lip flip BOTOX® with other treatments like fillers or microneedling?
Absolutely, BOTOX® combines well with other treatments, such as fillers or microneedling, to achieve a more comprehensive enhancement of your facial aesthetics. For example, pairing lip flips with fillers can add volume to the lips while simultaneously creating a more defined upper lip curl for a harmonious look. Meanwhile, microneedling complements the effects by improving overall skin texture and promoting collagen production, further enhancing your results.
Are there any risks or side effects of lip flip BOTOX®?
Like any injectable treatment, common side effects are mild and may include temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few days and do not interfere with daily activities. Rare side effects might include slight drooping of the upper lip or difficulty pronouncing certain words, which usually subside as the botulinum toxin wears off.
