LIP FLIP
Step into the world of subtle elegance with Mel Hornery Cosmetics' Lip Flip service, where minimalism enhances beauty. This refined procedure gently elevates the upper lip, introducing a subtle 'flip' for an enhanced shape and volume. Utilising micro-doses of muscle relaxants, our Lip Flip technique promises a beautifully enhanced upper lip that feels entirely natural. Perfect for newcomers to cosmetic enhancement, it's designed to softly lift and refine the lip's appearance, potentially complementing lip fillers for those seeking additional volume.

PRE AND POST TREATMENT CARE
LIP FLIP
-
- Aim to schedule your session 1-2 weeks prior to significant events to reduce the chance of bruising or swelling.
- Arnica supplements, taken one week ahead, can aid in bruising prevention.
- Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinners like Aspirin and Omega 3 supplements 5-7 days before your appointment, following your physician's advice.
- For those with a history of cold sores, consider antiviral treatment before undergoing procedures around the mouth to prevent outbreaks.
- If feeling ill or with an active infection, please reschedule with at least 24-hour notice.
- Reduce the risk of bruising by avoiding heavy physical activity and alcohol consumption 24 hours before your treatment.
-
- Refrain from touching or massaging the treated areas until the next day. Avoid any facial treatments, lasers, or massages for a week.
- Avoid lying down for 6-8 hours post-treatment to prevent affecting treated areas.
- Postpone makeup application on treated areas for 24 hours, except when using Dermaceutic K Ceutic recovery cream, which is safe post-treatment and aids in healing.
- Steer clear of alcohol and heavy exercise for 24 hours.
- Avoid heat treatments like saunas and tanning for 48 hours.
- Skip exfoliating products for four days post-treatment.
- Use Paracetamol for any discomfort, avoiding blood thinners for 48 hours to reduce bruising/swelling risks.
- Bruising, if it occurs, is usually minor and temporary. Arnica and bruise-eze cream can help expedite healing.
- Delay invasive skin procedures like needling, lasers, peels, and facial tattoos for two weeks.
- Full effects develop between 4-14 days, with optimal results at two weeks. If concerns arise, contact Mel Hornery Cosmetics for a follow-up. Adjustments and additional treatments may incur extra costs. Follow-up appointments should occur within four weeks of the initial session.
