CLIENT: I’m deciding between a lip flip, hyaluronic acid fillers, PRF gel fillers, and PDO threads for my lips. How do they compare? 🤔💋
WHOW AESTHETTICS: Great question! Each option offers different benefits based on the look you want to achieve and how the treatments work. Let's break it down! 👇

-------------------

 

CLIENT: How does each one work? 🤨

WHOW AESTHETICS:

-Lip Flip: Uses neurotoxins ie. Botox, Jeuveau to relax the muscles around the upper lip 💉, causing it to flip slightly outward for a fuller appearance. It doesn’t add volume but enhances the shape of the lip ✨.

-Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers: These are injectable fillers that add **immediate** volume to the lips 💧. They are great for plumping and reshaping the lips, as hyaluronic acid retains water for a hydrated, fuller look 💋.

-PRF Gel Fillers: PRF is derived from your own blood, concentrating growth factors and fibrin to stimulate collagen production and add **natural volume** over time ⏳. The results are more subtle but improve gradually.

-PDO Threads: These are dissolvable threads that are placed under the skin to lift and tighten the lips 💫. They enhance the shape and stimulate collagen production, giving the lips a firmer, more defined look over time 🧵.

-------------------

 

CLIENT: Which one gives the most dramatic effect? 😲

WHOW Aesthetics:

-Lip Flip: Subtle enhancement - it won’t add physical volume, just a slight outward lift to the upper lip. Perfect for a natural, subtle look 👄.

-Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: The most **immediate** and noticeable plumping effect! You can achieve a dramatic or subtle look depending on how much filler is used 💥.

-PRF Gel Fillers: More natural-looking volume that builds over time. It's not as dramatic as hyaluronic fillers but offers **long-term improvement** through collagen production 🌿.

-PDO Threads: Provides a firmer, lifted look with subtle volume enhancement. It’s great if you want a more defined and structured lip shape 💫.

-------------------

 

CLIENT: How painful are the procedures? 😬

-WHOW Aesthetics:

-Lip Flip: Minimal discomfort, just a few small injections around the upper lip 💉.

-Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Slightly more discomfort than a lip flip, but numbing agents are usually applied to minimize pain. You might experience some swelling or tenderness after 💧.

-PRF Gel Fillers: Since it involves drawing blood and injecting the PRF, it feels similar to hyaluronic acid fillers. There's mild discomfort, but it’s generally well-tolerated 🌟.
-PDO Threads: Some patients may feel slight discomfort during the threading process, but numbing agents are used. Mild bruising and swelling afterward are possible 🌸.

-------------------

 

CLIENT: How long do the results last? ⏳

WHOW Aesthetics:

-Lip Flip: Results last about **2-3 months** as Botox wears off gradually 🕒.

-Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Results last **6-12 months**, depending on the product and how quickly your body metabolizes the filler ⏰.

-PRF Gel Fillers: Results can last **6-12 months**, and because PRF stimulates collagen production, benefits can improve with each session, offering **longer-lasting results** 🌸.

-PDO Threads: The lift and collagen production can last **6-12 months**, as the threads dissolve naturally, and collagen continues to firm and shape the lips over time 🎯.

-------------------

 

CLIENT: What about cost? 💰
WHOW Aesthetics:
- Lip Flip: The most affordable option 💸, as it uses fewer Botox units and is a quick procedure.
-Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: More expensive than a lip flip because it requires more product for that dramatic effect 💵.
-PRF Gel Fillers: Generally pricier than both the lip flip and hyaluronic fillers due to the process of drawing and processing your blood, but it’s natural and offers **long-term benefits** 🎯.
-PDO Threads: Typically falls in the mid- to high-price range, depending on how many threads are used and the extent of treatment 🧵.

--------

 

ClLIENT: So, which should I choose? 🤷

WHOW Aesthetics:
- If you want a **subtle enhancement** without adding volume, go with a **Lip Flip** 😊.
- If you're after **immediate volume** and reshaping, **Hyaluronic Acid Fillers** are your best bet 💋.
- For a **natural, long-term enhancement** that improves with time, **PRF Gel Fillers** might be perfect for you 🌿.
- If you’re looking for a **lifted, more defined lip shape** with long-term collagen benefits, consider **PDO Threads** 🧵.
