Treatment & Technology

The Lip Flip is a non-surgical treatment offered in select clinics across the Dermapure network in Toronto. It’s designed to subtly enhance the appearance of the upper lip without adding volume through dermal fillers. Instead, it uses targeted injections to relax specific muscles around the mouth, gently encouraging the upper lip to roll slightly outward.

This approach focuses on the orbicularis oris muscle, which controls lip movement. By softening its activity, the Lip Flip creates the impression of a fuller upper lip and may reduce the appearance of a gummy smile—while preserving the natural balance of the face.

The treatment is often chosen by individuals seeking a minimal yet noticeable enhancement, or as a complement to other non-surgical procedures. It requires no downtime and is performed using precise, small-scale injections.

Available throughout the Dermapure network in Toronto, this treatment is part of a personalized approach to facial aesthetics, developed and delivered by medical professionals trained in advanced injection techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Lip Flip?

A Lip Flip is a non-invasive procedure using injectable neuromodulators to enhance the upper lip’s appearance by relaxing the surrounding muscles, creating a gentle outward “flip.”

What to Expect During a Lip Flip Procedure?

The procedure involves a few small injections of botulinum toxin into the upper lip area. It typically takes 10-15 minutes and requires no downtime, making it a quick and convenient option.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is ideal for individuals looking for a subtle enhancement of their upper lip without the use of fillers. It works well for those who want to reduce the appearance of a “gummy smile” or achieve a more balanced lip shape.

When Can I See Results from a Lip Flip?

Results typically begin to appear within 3-5 days, with full effects visible after about 7-10 days.

Does a Lip Flip Affect Speech?

In most cases, a lip flip does not affect speech. However, some patients may notice slight changes in muscle control when drinking from a straw or whistling. These effects are temporary.

Lip Flip vs. Lip Fillers: What’s the Difference?

  • Lip Flip: Uses botulinum toxin to enhance the natural curve of the upper lip by relaxing muscles. It does not add volume.
  • Lip Fillers: Use hyaluronic acid-based injectables to increase lip volume and provide a plumper appearance.

Both options can complement each other depending on the desired outcome.

How Long Do Lip Flip Results Last?

Results from a lip flip typically last 2-3 months. Regular touch-ups are required to maintain the effects.

Are There Any Side Effects of a Lip Flip?

Side effects are minimal and may include slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Rarely, patients may experience temporary muscle weakness or difficulty performing certain lip movements. Always consult your provider for personalized advice.
