LIP FLIP
A lip flip is a subtle injectable treatment that uses a small amount of botulinum toxin around the upper lip to relax the muscles that pull the lip inward.
Rather than adding volume like dermal filler, the treatment allows more of the natural upper lip to become visible, which can create the appearance of a slightly fuller, more defined lip while preserving the existing shape.
It can be particularly suitable for clients who feel their upper lip disappears when they smile, curls inward, or who want a very subtle enhancement without adding filler.

At a Glance
How does it work?
Targeted muscle relaxation
Small amounts of botulinum toxin are placed into the muscles around the upper lip, particularly the orbicularis oris.
Reduced inward pull
As the muscle activity softens, the upper lip is less likely to roll inward during expression.
More visible lip tissue
This allows a little more of the natural vermilion border to show, creating a subtle increase in visible lip height without adding physical volume.
Gradual effect
Results usually develop over several days as the muscle relaxation takes effect, with the aim of maintaining natural movement and expression rather than creating an obvious change.

What is a Lip Flip? A Lip Flip is an advanced anti-wrinkle treatment that relaxes the muscles around the upper lip, allowing it to gently roll outward and appear more visible when your face is at rest or smiling.
What's the difference between a Lip Flip and lip filler? A Lip Flip does not add volume. Instead, it subtly enhances the appearance of the upper lip by relaxing the surrounding muscles. Lip filler increases the volume and shape of the lips.
Who is a good candidate for a Lip Flip? A Lip Flip is ideal for people with a thin upper lip, a lip that disappears when smiling or those wanting a subtle enhancement without adding filler.
When will I see results? Results usually begin to appear within 3–7 days, with the full effect visible after approximately 2 weeks.
How long does a Lip Flip last? Results typically last 2–3 months, although this varies depending on individual muscle activity.
Is there any downtime after a Lip Flip? Downtime is minimal. Mild redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites may occur but usually settles within a few days.
