Lip fillers are a popular option. We also offer a lip flip* by injecting Botox/Dysport into the lip line. Services and availability vary by location. Contact your local center for details.  

The modern approach to lip enhancement began in 2003 with the FDA approval of Restylane, the first hyaluronic acid filler, which is a substance that naturally occurs in the human body.

Hyaluronic dermal lip filler is a cosmetic injectable treatment that uses hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in the body—to add volume, enhance shape, and improve hydration in the lips. It provides natural-looking results that can be tailored for subtle definition or fuller enhancement, with effects lasting several months to a year.

• more volume in the upper and/or lower lip

• to improve the appearance of vertical lip lines

• to improve overall shape and symmetry of your lips

• a longer-lasting lip enhancement (6-12 months)

When you first leave the treatment room you’ll experience some minor swelling and will continue to see changes day to day but it will take a few weeks to see your full results. In clinical studies, the results of Restylane Silk lasted approximately 6 months following treatment.

First, selecting a practitioner you trust. Second, trusting your injector’s recommended approach. Also following a few rules including: limiting alcohol consumption, avoiding intense workouts for a few days after your appointment, and avoiding blood thinners such as aspirin, NSAIDS, fish oil, etc.

Lip fillers are FDA approved for 1 year, but clients commonly get touch ups at 6-month intervals for best results. Your injector is in the best position to advise on the frequency of maintenance injections.

A typical lip filler treatment costs between $600 and $800.  The actual cost will depend upon your aesthetic goals and your injectors recommendation.

All of our non-surgical cosmetic procedures are ONLY treated by medical professionals, including Nurse Practitioners and Registered Nurses, overseen by a board certified physician.

A lip flip* involves just a few quick injections of Botox or Dysport to help the upper lip relax and roll slightly upward, allowing more of the upper lip to be visible. It is not a replacement for lip filler but it is often used as an alternative for patients seeking a more subtle enhancement. Ask your nurse injector if you are a candidate for this service.

*The lip flip using Botox or Dysport is an off-label treatment. Please familiarize yourself with the safety information for Botox and Dysport.

A lip flip costs about $50 – $100 per treatment. The actual cost will depend upon the amount of Botox or Dysport recommended by your injector to achieve your desired outcome.

Most patients notice the effects within a few days of treatment, with full results in about 7-10 days and lasting less than three months.

Yes. If you decide you want to return to your natural lips, hyaluronic acid-based fillers can also be removed using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that dissolves the filler.
