A Lip flips typically lasts between two and five months before it must be cleaned up.

Lip flips make us of the botulinum toxin, which is generated by bacteria and transformed into Botox. Despite the knowledge that larger dosages of Botox are lethal, the little, regulated amount injected to make the lips look fuller has been used safely for decades. Botox blocks nerve impulses in the muscles it is injected into, which is how it works.
These interrupted nerve impulses cause the affected muscle to momentarily lock or freeze. When injected at the sides of the mouth and edges of the lips, it causes the lips to invert slightly. Neuromodulators and neurotoxins are additional names for Botox and other botulinum toxin-based treatments. Treatments using botulinum toxin are offered under the trade names Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, and Xeomin.
Lip fillers make use of products such as Juvederm, which is a soft tissue filler, also known as a dermal filler. It is a chemical compound that is that injected under the skin’s surface to increase volume and fullness.
Dermal fillers include the following ingredients:
• Mineral-like substance found in bones called calcium hydroxyapatite
• Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that adds plumpness to the skin
• Polyacrylamide is a translucent gel that is well tolerated by the human body
• Poly-lactic acid increases the production of collagen in the skin
Each of these ingredients is intended to deliver the desired look or other aesthetic needs. They differ in terms of how long they take to function and how long they last. Some fillers may last six months, while others might last up to two years. Juvederm is not just for fuller lips however, and can help American seniors fight wrinkles and the signs of aging in a number of clever ways:
• Reduce or remove the wrinkle beneath the eyes created by the lower eyelid
• Fill in or soften the effect of sunken scars
• Add smoothness in shallow regions on the face, especially on the lower face
• Clears creases around the lips and around the cheeks where static wrinkles occur
The amount of times you need to get treatment depends on a number of factors, age, skin condition, collagen deficiency among others. Most products such as Juvederm take some time to take effect so don’t expect any overnight miracles.
Juvederm used in lip fillers and Botox used in Lip flips are treatments that are quite short, requiring just a few minutes to complete. The lips may need more than one injection for Lip flips and generally last around 5 months. In comparison, lip fillers that use products such as Juvederm typically only need one treatment and lasts for up to 9 months. Those considering this type of treatment should arrange an appointment with a fully certified dermatologist.
Both Lip flips and Lip fillers give a fuller look to the mouth. Which is best for you really depends on the type of look you are striving for. Lip fillers are slightly more subtle than Lip flips which when not carried out properly run the risk of leaving a trout pout, not attractive.
Cost comparison:
• Juvederm is somewhat more costly, with an average injection cost of $600
• Botox is less expensive per unit, but more are required. May cost around $550
