4. WHAT IS A BOTOX LIP FLIP?

A Botox Lip Flip is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure. Botox Lip Flips can help you achieve a fuller upper lip without dermal filler.

The Botox Lip Flip procedure involves injecting Botox into your upper lip to relax the lip muscles and “flip” your lip upward. A Botox Lip Flip is a less expensive solution than a dermal filler because it uses only a few units of Botox.

A Botox lip flip can be an excellent choice compared to fillers for those who want a more subtle lip enhancement. Botox Lip Flips also works well for those who wish to enhance the shape of their upper lip with minimal effort.

The effects of a Botox Lip Flip will last for about two months. Botox typically lasts for approximately three months, but lip flips don’t last as long for a few reasons. For one, the lip flip involves injections to a muscle that we constantly move throughout the day.

5. BOTOX MIGRAINE – BOTOX FOR HEADACHES RELIEF?

Yes, Botox for Migraines, and Botox for Headaches can bring relief for some patients.

OnabotulinumtoxinA, most commonly known as Botox, was approved in 2010 for adults who get chronic migraines. 

A Chronic Migraine is one in which:

  • You have a history of migraine headaches
  • You have headaches (including tension-type) on most days (defined as 15 or more days in a row) of the month, of which at least 8 meet the definition of being migraine

Treatment involved several shots of Botox around your head and neck once every 12 weeks to dull or prevent migraine headaches.
