LIP FLIP
Subtle. Soft. Elevated.
The Lip Flip is a quick, subtle treatment that uses a wrinkle relaxer to gently relax the upper lip, allowing it to roll slightly outward for a softer, fuller appearance, without adding volume with filler. It's also effective for reducing upper lip lines, giving the lip area a smoother, more refined look.

How It
WORKS
What Is a Lip Flip?
A Lip Flip uses a small amount of wrinkle relaxer, precisely injected into the orbicularis oris muscle along the upper lip border. This gently relaxes the muscle that normally causes the upper lip to curl slightly inward, allowing the lip to flip outward and appear subtly fuller and more defined. The Lip Flip does not add volume; it works by changing the position and appearance of the lip you already have. It is also effective for reducing the appearance of upper lip lines (sometimes called "smoker's lines") by relaxing the muscle activity that contributes to these fine lines.
Did You Know?
The Lip Flip is an ideal option for those who want a subtle enhancement to their upper lip without the commitment or volume of filler. It's also a great introductory treatment for anyone curious about lip enhancement who wants to start with something minimal.
A Lip Flip can be combined with lip filler for those who want both a subtle outward flip of the upper lip and added volume.
A Quick Treatment For
SUBTLE RESULTS
What Is the Lip Flip Procedure Like?
The Lip Flip is one of the quickest treatments available. Nurse Ruby will administer a small number of precise injections of wrinkle relaxer along the upper lip border. The procedure typically takes approximately 15 minutes and is very well-tolerated. No anaesthesia is typically required, though a topical numbing cream can be applied if preferred.

Results from a Lip Flip typically become visible within 3–7 days, with full effects at approximately 2 weeks. The result is a subtly fuller, softer upper lip with a natural appearance. Results generally last approximately 2–3 months, after which the treatment can be repeated. Some clients choose to combine a Lip Flip with other lip treatments for a more comprehensive result.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is a Lip Flip different from lip filler?+
A Lip Flip uses a wrinkle relaxer to subtly change the position of the upper lip, making it appear slightly fuller without adding any volume. Lip filler, on the other hand, adds actual volume to the lips with a dermal filler product. The two can also be combined for a more comprehensive result.
How long does a Lip Flip last?+
A Lip Flip typically lasts approximately 2–3 months. Because the treatment uses a small amount of wrinkle relaxer, it tends to wear off more quickly than larger-area wrinkle treatments. Regular treatments are needed to maintain results.
Is a Lip Flip painful?+
Most clients find it very tolerable. The injections are quick and involve a very fine needle. Most clients describe a minor pinch. A topical numbing cream can be applied if preferred.
Can I get a Lip Flip and lip filler at the same time?+
Yes. A Lip Flip can be combined with lip filler for those who want both the outward flip of the upper lip and added volume. Nurse Ruby can discuss the best approach for your goals during your consultation.
