The procedure itself takes about 15 minutes. Please allow a little more time in the office, though, as a medical history and photographs are taken.

*Restrictions: no lying down, yoga, touching the face, rigorous exercise for 4 hours following treatment.
When will I look amazing?
Botulinum toxin can take up to 14 days to see the full effects.

What's a Flip Lip?
A lip flip is injection of Botox into the upper border of the upper lip. It is usually 4 small injections of 1-2 units each. This causes in relaxation of the circular muscle around the lip, causing the lip to curl up a touch. The result is subtle fullness in the upper lip, without adding volume. This can be used to treat the vertical wrinkles of the upper lip ("smoker's lines" or "kissing lines"), or simply for a subtle lip enhancement.
