What are we doing beneath the skin that creates the subtle changes we see in the lips? Let’s talk about the lip flip.

✨ Functional Anatomy: The upper lip is primarily controlled by the orbicularis oris, a circular sphincter muscle responsible for closing the mouth and pulling the lip inward. Superficial fibers attach along the vermillion border, helping maintain lip tension and contributing to lip inversion during contraction.

✨ The Result: Repeated contraction of the orbicularis oris pulls the upper lip inward, which can reduce vermillion show and contribute to vertical perioral lines. These dynamics also influence how much of the upper teeth are visible when smiling.

✨ How BoNT/A Works: A lip flip uses small amounts of botulinum toxin type-A (BoNT/A) injected superficially along the upper vermillion border to partially relax the orbicularis oris. By weakening these superficial fibers, the upper lip gently rolls outward (eversion), improving contour and increasing visible lip height—without adding volume.

✨ Clinical Effect: Treatment typically involves 4–6 units of BoNT/A placed across several injection points. Results are usually visible within the first week and last approximately 8–12 weeks, subtly enhancing lip projection and definition of the Cupid’s bow.

🎯 Precision Matters: Because the orbicularis oris plays a role in speech, drinking, and oral competence, injections must be superficial and precise. Diffusion into surrounding muscle can temporarily affect activities like whistling, drinking through a straw, or certain pronunciations. These resolve as the toxin wears off.

👄A lip flip doesn’t add volume like filler—it modifies muscle dynamics to subtly enhance lip shape and projection. When applied with precision in the right candidate, it offers a natural-appearing option for improving lip definition, eversion, and gingival display.

Over that last few years, we’ve each built our own medical aesthetics practices; caring for patients, expanding our knowledge, refining our skills, and (most importantly) seeing firsthand the evolving needs of patient health and aesthetic medicine.

Along the way, we kept seeing the same thing.

Patient’s deserve more.
More thoughtful care. More collaboration. More spaces designed entirely around their wellbeing.

So we started asking a bigger question:
𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒇 𝒘𝒆 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒏𝒆𝒘?

Not just another clinic — but a place where aesthetics, wellness, and healthcare come together. Aesthetic medicine should never exist in isolation. Your overall health, lifestyle, and wellbeing directly influence your skin, aging process, and how you experience aesthetic treatments. True aesthetic care must consider the whole person.

A 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍 has long symbolized a place where people gather — a source of nourishment, renewal, and community. 🌱

And that idea has inspired something we’ve been quietly building.

Swipe ➡️ to see this skin booster progression and learn more about how skin booster works! 💦

Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid treatments designed to improve 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙣 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮, not shape or volume. Unlike traditional fillers, skin boosters use low-crosslinked or non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid that integrates into the dermis, working at a cellular level to support hydration, elasticity, texture, and overall skin resilience.

Hyaluronic acid naturally attracts and binds water within the skin. When delivered intradermally, it enhances the skin’s extracellular matrix, improves moisture retention, and supports fibroblast activity — the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production. The result is skin that appears smoother, firmer, more luminous, and better able to withstand environmental and intrinsic aging stressors.

Clinical evidence shows that skin boosters lead to measurable improvements in 𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙢𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙣 𝙛𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚, with effects that continue to evolve over weeks to months. This is why progression matters — these treatments are not about immediate transformation, but gradual, biologically driven improvement.

Rather than changing structure, skin boosters refine the canvas. They are particularly effective for dullness, fine lines, crepey texture, and compromised skin quality, and can be used on the face, neck, décolleté, and hands.

This is regenerative aesthetics — supporting the skin’s natural function instead of overriding it.

Retinoids are one of the most powerful tools we have in our topical skincare toolkit, yet they are also one of the most misunderstood.

That is exactly why Jen NP, and Caytie RN, sat down to break it all down in a way that actually makes sense. From what retinoids truly are, to how conversion works within the skin, to why percentages alone never tell the full story — they walk you through the details that matter most. They also explain how formulation and delivery systems play a critical role in both results and skin tolerance.

Healthy, long-term results do not come from simply using a stronger retinoid. They come from intentional use, proper guidance, and choosing the right approach for your individual skin.

If you have ever felt confused, overwhelmed, or unsure about retinoids, this reel was created for you 🤍 Save it for future reference, share it with someone who needs clarity, and as always, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

BoNT/A Art vs. Science:
What are we doing inside that gives us the effects on the outside? Let’s talk the gummy smile.

Functional Anatomy:
A gummy smile, clinically referred to as excessive gingival display, often results from overactive upper-lip elevator muscles. These muscles, primarily the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi (LLSAN), levator labii superioris, and zygomaticus muscles, are responsible for elevating the upper lip during smiling. When their activity is excessive, more gingival tissue becomes visible than what is typically considered aesthetically balanced.

The result?
An upper lip that elevates too much during smiling, which can appear overly pronounced or asymmetrical. This may create a smile that feels tense or out of harmony with the rest of the face. Neurotoxin in this area works by gently reducing muscle activity, allowing the upper lip to relax slightly while preserving natural movement and expression. The goal is not to change your smile, but to refine it.

Localized considerations:
Proper assessment is essential. Gummy smiles vary in pattern and muscle involvement, and precise placement with conservative dosing is key to avoiding asymmetry or changes in lip function.

By targeting the muscles responsible for excessive gingival display with BoNT/A, we can soften the appearance of a gummy smile and support a more balanced, natural-looking result.

🧴Why’s are Retinoids Important?
Retinoids are a staple in our skin care recommendations. Retinol is a vitamin A derived retinol that is common strength found in cosmeceuticals. It is an ingredient that improves both 𝒑𝒉𝒐𝒕𝒐𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 AND 𝒂𝒄𝒏𝒆. Studies have consistently demonstrated improvement in wrinkles, dyspigmentation, and skin texture with consistent and sustained use (Mambwe et al., 2024). Normalizing how skin cells shed and grow is also how retinoids treat skin conditions such as psoriasis and acne (Szymanski et al., 2020).
