Lip Augmentation & Lip Flip
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that changes the shape of the lips to make them fuller or more youthful.
During a consultation, a doctor will assess the lips and facial balance, take pictures, and determine which areas to treat.
Lip augmentation is typically performed on the upper lip more than the lower lip. The results of lip fillers can last up to three to six months, but this depends on how quickly the body metabolizes the product.
Secret RF
Secret RF is a radiofrequency microneedling treatment that can be used to reduce the appearance of stretch marks
How it works
The treatment uses radiofrequency energy to create heat under the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process to produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. This remodeling of the skin can improve the appearance of stretch marks.
What to expect
The treatment involves cleansing the skin, applying a numbing cream, and then using a handpiece to deliver radiofrequency energy to the treatment area. You might feel some pressure and slight heating, but the procedure is generally tolerable.
Results
Most patients see improvement after the second treatment, but optimal results are usually achieved after 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Lip Flip
A lip flip is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that makes the upper lip appear fuller and more defined:
How it works
A healthcare provider injects a small amount of botulinum toxin, like Botox, into the muscles around the upper lip. This relaxes the muscles, causing the lip to “flip” upward slightly.
Benefits
A lip flip can:
- Make the upper lip look more voluminous
- Reduce the appearance of a gummy smile
- Smooth fine lines around the lips
Procedure
The procedure takes less than 10 minutes and involves minimal pain.
Results
The effects are subtle and appear within a few days, with full results after about two weeks. The results typically last 2–3 months.
