Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to commonly asked questions by patients seeking treatment with Injectables & Facial Aesthetics.

  • Is this the same as surgical jaw contouring?
    No. Surgery changes the bone permanently. Non-surgical contouring uses filler and Botox, is done in under an hour, has no downtime and is reversible. For many people it achieves the look they want without an operation.
  • How long does it last?
    Results start in 3–7 days and reach full effect by two weeks. On average, results last 3–4 months, depending on dose, muscle strength, and metabolism.
  • How much does it cost?
    Pricing is based on:

    • number of units used

    • treatment area

    • product type

    A personalized plan and cost estimate are reviewed before treatment, so there are no surprises.
  • How many syringes does jawline filler take?
    Often two to four across the jaw and chin, depending on your starting point and how much definition you want. We build in stages.
  • What are Neurotoxins?
    Neurotoxins are injectable medications (such as Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Jeuveau®, and Daxxify®) that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles. This softens lines caused by expression, such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles, while preserving natural expression when done correctly.
  • Will I still look like myself?
    Yes. Our approach is natural, conservative, and customized. The goal is to soften lines while keeping your facial expressions and personality. You will look like you — just more rested.
Lip flip treatment with Botox at Valoura Med Spa in Savoy, IL

Lip Flip

Subtle • Quick • No Filler

More upper lip when you smile, without adding volume.

A lip flip is a small, quick, minimally invasive treatment for people who want a fuller-looking upper lip without adding any volume.A small amount of Botox or Dysport is placed around the upper lip to relax selected muscles, allowing the lip to turn slightly outward so more of the upper lip is visible. They relax the muscle that pulls the lip inward, so the lip rolls slightly outward and shows more when you smile.

It is done at Valoura Med Spa in Savoy, minutes from Champaign and Urbana, under physician supervision.

LIP FLIP VS. LIP FILLER

One changes position. The other changes size.
  • ✓ Changes: a lip flip changes the position of the upper lip; lip filler changes size and shape
  • ✓ Product: a lip flip uses a small dose of Botox or Dysport; lip filler uses hyaluronic acid filler
  • ✓ Result: a lip flip often shows within 3–7 days; lip filler shows straight away
  • ✓ Lasts: a lip flip commonly 2–3 months; lip filler commonly 6–12 months
  • ✓ Best for: a lip flip for an upper lip that disappears when smiling, or a gummy smile; lip filler for thin lips at rest and definition

Some patients do both: the flip for a natural roll and a small amount of filler for softness. We will tell you which one fits your lips.

WHO IT SUITS

Often a good fit for:

  • ✓ A thin-looking upper lip that curls in when you smile
  • ✓ A gummy smile
  • ✓ Anyone who wants a very subtle change without adding filler volume.
  • ✓ Patients who already have filler and want a little more show without more product

RESULTS TIMELINE

Typical Results Timeline

Every patient is different. These are typical ranges, not a promise, and your physician will set your plan.

  • ✓ Change: often visible within 3–7 days
  • ✓ How long it lasts: commonly 2–3 months – shorter than forehead Botox because the lip muscle is used constantly
  • ✓ First few days: sipping through a straw or whistling may feel slightly different; this usually passes quickly

WHAT TO EXPECT

  1. Consultation: we check your lips at rest and smiling and confirm a flip is the right tool.
  2. Treatment: about five minutes, with a few tiny injections along the upper lip border.
  3. Results: usually within the first week.

WHO SHOULD WAIT

Please postpone or tell us if you:
  • ✓ Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • ✓ Have a nerve or muscle condition
  • ✓ Have an active cold sore or infection near the mouth
  • ✓ Play a wind instrument or rely on precise lip control for work (discuss first)

This list is a guide only. Our physician confirms suitability at your consultation.
