How It Works
Treatments at Dream Spa Medical start with a personal consultation. We’ll discuss your concerns and your goals, and if a Botox Lip Flip in Foxborough offers the best solution, we’ll schedule your session.
The treatment involves your expert provider injecting tiny amounts of Botox into the muscle above your top lip. This relaxation allows the lip to “flip” upwards and appear larger and fuller.

The difference between lip filler and a Botox Lip Flip is in the injectable. Lip filler injects filler gel, usually consisting of hyaluronic acid, into the lips themselves. Our expert injectors use top-of-the-line brands for our lip filler procedures, such as Juvéderm or Restylane. Lip filler results typically last 6 to 12 months.
A Botox Lip Flip uses the Botox injectable above the upper lip, not in the lip itself. We inject tiny amounts of Botox into a section of the orbicularis oris muscle just above the top lip. Your upper lip muscles relax, making the lip subtly “flip” up to show more pink color while enhancing the peaks of your vermillion border. The final effect makes the lip appear slightly larger and fuller. It is a very subtle change and does not actually add any volume to the lip, unlike lip filler. A lip flip takes 2 weeks to reach optimal effect, and typically lasts about 4 to 6 weeks.
Would you believe that your new, poutier, sexier smile only takes about 10 minutes? Our expert injectors strategically place your injections above your upper lip. Because it’s such a precise treatment for a specific area, it requires less Botox and less time to finish the injections.
As a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment, a Botox Lip Flip in Foxborough requires no downtime, and you can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. We do recommend that you avoid rubbing or massaging your lips for at least 4 hours after the treatment, and preferably for 24 hours. In about 7 to 10 days, you should see optimal results and can start enjoying a more inviting, attractive smile. These results should last about 4 to 6 weeks.
A great candidate for a lip flip is any adult who:
- Wants to enhance the presence of the upper lip.
- Wishes to reduce a “gummy” smile.
- Seeks to enhance their profile.
- Has considered lip filler but isn’t ready yet.
- Wants to feminize their lips.
Pre- & Post-Care Instructions for a Botox Lip Flip in Foxborough
Botox is a wrinkle relaxer, also known as neuromodulators or neurotoxins.
- Women who are pregnant or nursing should not be treated with wrinkle relaxers.
- We suggest that if you are actively trying to conceive, you consult your physician before being treated with wrinkle relaxers.
- Please allow 2 weeks before and after any vaccinations and your treatment.
- It is best to avoid alcohol & blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc) 24 to 48 hours prior to your treatment. This may increase your risk of bruising.
- If you are prone to and being treated in an area that may cause a Herpes Labialis outbreak, we suggest pretreating with an antiviral medication for 2 days prior to your treatment and 2 days post-treatment. Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best and accelerate your healing time as well as enhance results.
- You may consider having at least a snack or a small meal within an hour of your appointment. Getting injected with needles can at times cause you to feel “queasy” or unwell. It always helps to have a little something in your stomach to combat those feelings. We keep juice and snack bars on hand in case you need a little pick-me-up mid-treatment!
- The treatment area may feel sensitive or tender to the touch. This should resolve within 24 hours.
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activity, and sweating for 24 to 48 hours.
- Visible injection marks are normal and to be expected in most cases. This usually subsides within 24 hours.
- Treated areas should be cared for gently when washing your face or applying products. It is best to not touch or manipulate the treated area.
- Do not scratch or pick at the injection sites, as this may cause infection.
- We suggest waiting a full 2 weeks before any additional treatments such as facials, peels, laser treatments, etc.
- Wrinkle relaxers may take up to a full 2 weeks to see your final results. For this reason we strongly recommend waiting this time before any further or additional treatment for your Botox Lip Flip.
- Try to sleep on your back, with your head elevated, for 1 to 2 nights.
All neuromodulators take time to activate and settle into your muscle. The time it takes varies for everyone. You can expect to see your product “kicking in” anywhere between 2 to 14 days.
Although our skilled providers take many precautions in an attempt to prevent bruising, it is a possibility and is an expected and normal side effect of the injection process. We suggest using Arnica gel (may be found in any drugstore) after your treatment to help minimize any bruising.
