Questions people ask
Why do I need a consultation for lip flip treatment?
Treatment for lip flip is prescription-only, so it always starts with a consultation. Your consultation covers what bothers you and what's realistic, and an independent prescriber assesses you face to face before anything goes ahead. If it isn't right for you, I'll say so and explain other options.
How long does lip flip treatment last?
Results for lip flip usually last 2 to 3 months. Everyone is different, and it can wear off a little sooner at first. I review you at two to three weeks and talk you through when another appointment makes sense, so you're never pushed to come back sooner than you need.
Is there any downtime after lip flip treatment?
There's little or no downtime. You might see small marks or redness for an hour or so, and occasionally a small bruise. Most people go straight back to work. Stay upright for 2 hours, and avoid exercise and rubbing the area for 24 hours.
How much does lip flip treatment cost?
Treatment for lip flip is by consultation, because it's prescription-only. Prices are listed on the prices page. Your first visit is a £50 consultation that comes off your treatment, and your plan is only agreed once you've been assessed by the independent prescriber.
