Want to give your lips a lift, without adding volume? Maybe you've heard of lipflip, but aren't sure what it actually means? Then you have found the right place! At Estetikcentrum in Malmö, we help customers every day who want to emphasize their upper lip in a soft, discreet way - and that is exactly what a Lipflip is all about.

This guide will take you through everything you need to know about the treatment, from how it works to how best to prepare. Of course, we also talk about price, results and what the difference is between a Lipflip and other options like fillers or lip lifting.

What is lipflip?

And Lipflip is an injection treatment where a small amount of botulinum toxin (also known as botox) is inserted into the muscles around the upper lip. This causes the muscles to relax slightly, making the upper lip roll outwards and look more defined. The treatment only affects the muscles and not the volume itself, giving a very effective but gentle result, especially when you smile.

A Lipflip is a great option for those who find their upper lip too thin when they smile, or for those who want to try a minor change before possibly going ahead with fillers. It is also a good complement to other treatments, such as lip lifting, where the lip is surgically lifted for a more permanent change. The difference? With a Lipflip , you get results without surgery and with just a few tiny pricks.

Preparing for your treatment

Before a Lipflip does not require any difficult or complicated preparation, but we still recommend that you follow the tips below.

• Avoid taking blood thinners a few days beforehand. This will reduce the risk of bleeding and major bruising.
  
• Feel free to come unmade up around the mouth area in time for your treatment.
  
• Have realistic expectations and remember that we will go through your wishes together before we start.
  

During your consultation with us, we will answer all your questions and tailor the treatment to your specific needs.

Aftercare and recovery

After the treatment, you may experience a slight swelling or tingling sensation in your lip. This is completely normal and usually goes away quickly. After your treatment, you will receive clear instructions from our staff on how to take care of the treated area. This includes avoiding touching or massaging the area for the first few days, as well as waiting a few hours before drinking or eating anything hot. Also, skip any sports or exercise during the day and avoid sleeping on your stomach for the first night. However, you can return to your daily routine immediately after treatment and the full effect will be visible within 7-14 days.

Price of a Lipflip

A Lipflip is a very affordable treatment that gives great effect on our patients. With us at Estetikcentrum , the treatment costs from 2500 sek, which includes a safe and personal consultation and follow-up if needed. We only use well-proven products and work with great care - always with your result and your wishes in focus.

What results can I expect?

After a Lipflip treatment, you will get an upper lip that looks more defined and rolls slightly outwards, creating the illusion of a lip with more volume. The effect is subtle but noticeable and often results in a softer smile where more of the upper lip is visible. However, the results can vary greatly depending on the conditions you have naturally. Results usually last between 2-3 months before you may need to repeat the treatment to maintain your results. Many people find that the effect lasts longer after 2-3 treatments.
