Lip flick Botox, also known as lip flip, is a cosmetic procedure using Botox to enhance the appearance of the lips. Unlike traditional lip fillers that add volume, the lip flick Botox treatment focuses on subtly improving the shape and projection of the lips by relaxing specific muscles around the mouth.
How Lip Flick Botox Works:
Botox Injection: Small amounts of Botox are injected into the upper lip area, specifically targeting the orbicularis oris muscle, which is responsible for the movement and control of the lips.
Muscle Relaxation: By relaxing this muscle, the upper lip rolls slightly outward and upward, creating a fuller appearance and enhancing the lip line.
Subtle Enhancement: The procedure does not add volume but rather creates the illusion of a fuller lip and a more defined lip border.
Benefits of Lip Flick Botox:
Enhanced Lip Appearance: Provides a subtle enhancement of the lip border, giving a slightly fuller look without the use of fillers.
Reduced Lines: Helps smooth out fine lines around the lips (lip lines or smoker’s lines) by relaxing the surrounding muscles.
Non-Surgical: No need for invasive procedures or implants.
Minimal Downtime: The procedure is quick, typically taking about 10-15 minutes, with minimal recovery time.
