What is a Lip Flip and what is Microtox?
Lip Flip and Microtox are two related treatments that use micro-doses of neurotoxin (Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport) to enhance the face in subtle, natural-looking ways — without the fuller volume of dermal filler.
A Lip Flip uses a small amount of neurotoxin placed along the upper lip line to relax the muscle. The lip subtly rolls outward, appearing fuller and more defined without adding volume. It's a great option if you want a softer, more shaped upper lip without committing to filler.
Microtox (sometimes called "Baby Botox" or "MesoTox") is a superficial injection of diluted neurotoxin into the skin itself. Rather than freezing muscle movement, it works at the surface — refining pores, reducing oil production, and giving the skin a smoother, more radiant appearance.
How each treatment works
Lip Flip. A few precise units of neurotoxin are placed along the upper lip's border. The muscle that pulls the lip inward is relaxed, allowing the natural pink of the lip to become more visible. The effect is subtle — most notably in photos, when speaking, or when smiling.
Microtox. Diluted neurotoxin is delivered in a mesh pattern of superficial injections across a treatment area — often the T-zone, cheeks, or full face. Rather than affecting the deeper muscles, Microtox targets the skin's oil glands and superficial fibers, resulting in refined pores, decreased shine, and a smoother finish.
What these treatments can do
- Enhance the appearance of the upper lip without filler (Lip Flip)
- Create a subtle, natural pout that looks like your own lip
- Refine pore appearance and control oiliness (Microtox)
- Give the skin a smoother, more matte finish
- Fast, comfortable treatment with no downtime
- Results become visible within 3–7 days and last 3–4 months
Is Lip Flip or Microtox right for me?
Lip Flip is ideal for anyone who wants a softer, more defined upper lip without the commitment of filler — a great "starter" enhancement or a complement to filler already in place.
Microtox is a great fit for anyone with oily skin, enlarged pores, or unwanted shine — especially those looking for that photo-ready, poreless appearance without downtime. Both treatments can be combined with other injectables and are safe for most healthy adults.
