What is Lip Flip Botox?
Botox or Botulinum toxin is a protein and neurotoxin produced by a bacteria known as Clostridium Botulinum. Lip Flip Botox treatment is a non-invasive method of injecting a protein into the tissues to relax and weaken the muscles.
For this case, botox is injected into the orbicularis oris muscle on the outside of the upper lip. This way, the muscle fibers on the surface will be loosened so that the lip can bend and make the philtrum area looks shorter. It is also recommended for those who want to have a high volume upper lip without taking hyaluronic acid.
How It Works
Although it is not well known in Japan yet, it is a popular treatment overseas.
Botox is applied to the surface of the orbicularis oris muscle on the outside of the upper lip, loosening the muscle fibers on the surface layer and strengthening the levator muscle group on the upper lip, which makes the lip warp and make the person look shorter.
