Whether you suffer with fine lines above your lips (smokers/ kissing lines) or simply want a natural alternative to lip fillers – Upper Lip Flip treatment may be the best option for you.

Upper Lip Flip is made up of a number of very small injections administered with absolute precision and an ultra-fine needle. The injections contain a substance called Botulinum Toxin A – a protein which works by blocking the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. This in turn stops the muscle from contracting.

When injected in small doses, the Botulinum Toxin A will cause the muscle of the upper lip to relax: as a result, the overlying skin becomes more taught – reducing the appearance of fine lines as well as pulling up the red of the upper lip to make it appear plumper.

Appropriate doses as advised by your SAS Aesthetics doctor will not restrict expressive movement, but subtly enhance your appearance for a natural look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Botulinum Toxin A?

Botulinum Toxin A is a protein which works by blocking the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. This in turn stops the muscle from contracting. When injected in small doses, the Botulinum Toxin A will cause the muscle to relax: as a result the overlying skin becomes smoother and fine lines and wrinkles will disappear.

How long does it take to work?

The results appear gradually and often take 3-14 days to reach the final effect.

How long does it last?

Each person is different but the results from Botulinum Toxin A injection typically last between 3-6 months.

Is the treatment painful?

The treatment is relatively pain free and requires no anaesthesia.

What are the side effects?

The benefit of anti-wrinkle injection is that they are temporary and wear off over time making them ideal for clients who want a more natural result. The most common side effects however are bruising and swelling which often resolve over a period of a few days.

What should I avoid before and after the treatment?

We often discourage consumption of alcohol 12 hours before and after your treatment. Smoking should be avoided 6 hours before and after your treatment. Both these factors affect the likelihood of you bruising. Other things to avoid are hot showers, saunas as well as exercise for 24 hours and avoid sunbathing or sunbeds for up to 7 days.

Does Botulinum Toxin A make my wrinkles worse?

No – over time as the muscle relaxes and the acetylcholine receptors become less active you will need less injections with longer periods between each treatment.

Do I receive a top up after my treatment?

Yes, you are eligible for a top up 2-3 weeks after your treatment. However, we cannot offer this service outside of this time period.

Are there any contra-indications?

Yes – the absolute contra-indications are pregnancy, breastfeeding and more rarely medical conditions such as myasthenia Gravis. Relative contra-indications are the use of blood thinning medications (please discuss this with your doctor during your consultation).

What is preventative anti-wrinkle treatment and what is a good age to start this?

For clients between the age of 26-35 years we recommend preventative botulinum toxin which will slow the signs of aging as the skin starts to lose collagen with time. An age appropriate dose of botulinum toxin is injected in the areas you want to address and over time a natural result will prevent your skin from developing fine lines and wrinkles.

Do you offer Botulinum Toxin injections for the arm pits to stop sweating?

Yes, we do – it’s the only non-surgical treatment proven to work.

What is the difference between Upper Lip Flip and lip fillers?

While both treatments aim to enhance the lips, the Upper Lip Flip utilises Botulinum Toxin A to relax the muscle of the upper lip, thereby creating a subtle lift and reducing the appearance of fine lines. Lip fillers, on the other hand, use hyaluronic acid or other substances to directly add volume to the lips.

Will the Upper Lip Flip change the way I speak or smile?

When performed correctly by a trained professional, the Upper Lip Flip should not significantly alter your speech or smile. However, its essential to communicate with your practitioner if you notice any changes post-treatment.

Is there a risk of overcorrection or an unnatural appearance?

Our aim at SAS Aesthetics is to achieve natural-looking results. Overcorrection is unlikely when using appropriate doses and techniques. Its crucial to trust a qualified and experienced professional for this treatment.

Can men also opt for an Upper Lip Flip?

Absolutely! The Upper Lip Flip is suitable for both men and women looking for a subtle enhancement without adding volume.

How quickly can I return to my daily activities post-treatment?

The treatment requires no downtime, and you can resume your daily activities immediately. However, its best to avoid strenuous activities and exposure to extreme temperatures for at least 24 hours.

Is it safe to have lip makeup or other lip treatments after the Upper Lip Flip?

Its advisable to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup or undergoing other lip treatments to prevent potential complications.

What happens if I’m unhappy with the results?

Botulinum Toxin A is temporary and will naturally wear off over time. However, if you have concerns about the results, its crucial to communicate with your practitioner for potential solutions.

Are there any dietary recommendations post-treatment?

No specific dietary restrictions are required post-treatment. However, staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet can help promote overall skin health.

Is it possible to combine the Upper Lip Flip with other facial treatments?

Yes, the Upper Lip Flip can be combined with other treatments, but its essential to discuss this with your practitioner to ensure the best results and avoid potential complications.

Will the treatment leave any scars or permanent marks?

No, the Upper Lip Flip is a non-surgical procedure, and when performed correctly, it shouldnt leave any scars or permanent marks.

Here the patient is having SKINPEN treatment to give an overall collagen boost to the skin. Whilst the skin surface is exposed we added EXOXOSOMES 🎉 (well done if you guessed right!)

EXOS (for short) are cell messenger compounds that attached to the skin cells and change their biology. As a result you can expect your skin to become more supple, hydrated and younger with an up regulation of collagen and elastin production.
