Lip Flip: What is it? How long does it last? Where can you get a lip flip in Calgary?
A lip flip is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that gives the appearance of fuller lips by relaxing the muscles around the mouth, particularly the orbicularis oris muscle that surrounds the mouth. This is typically achieved through the use of a small amount of a neuromodulator, which is injected into the upper lip. The result is that the upper lip 'flips' upward, creating a fuller and more defined appearance without adding volume.
Vital Body + Skin clients opt for lip flips for several reasons:
Subtle Enhancement : The lip flip provides a natural look because it does not add volume to the lips like fillers. Instead, it gives the upper lip a slight lift, making it appear fuller. It's an excellent option for those looking for a subtle enhancement.
Quick and Simple Procedure : A lip flip procedure is relatively fast, often completed in less than 15 minutes with no downtime, making it a convenient choice for people with busy schedules.
Cost-effective : Compared to other cosmetic lip procedures like fillers, a lip flip can be a more affordable option.
No Long-term Commitment : The results of a lip flip usually last between 6 to 8 weeks. This temporary nature of the procedure allows people to experiment with their look without a long-term commitment.
How long does a lip flip last?
A lip flip typically lasts between 6 to 8 weeks, but the exact duration will vary depending on factors such as your individual metabolism, muscle activity, and how much product is used.
The procedure uses a neuromodulator to relax the muscles around the lip, causing the lip to 'flip' upward and outward. This gives the appearance of a fuller upper lip.
It's important to note that while a lip flip can provide a subtle enhancement to the lips, it doesn't add volume in the same way that a dermal filler might. If you're interested in a more pronounced or longer-lasting change, you may want to discuss other treatment options with our nurse injectors.
