Do people ever tell you, “You look tired lately” or “Are you upset?” If so, we’d like to introduce “Bliss Lips,” a treatment that naturally enhances the corners of your mouth. By refining the appearance of your mouth, this treatment helps create a softer, brighter smile. We’ll also explain the treatment details and its effects in an easy-to-understand way.
If you look tired or grumpy, it might be because of the “corners of your mouth”
Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt like something was missing around your mouth—and had a sudden jolt of panic, thinking, “Wait, have I gotten older?” Actually, the corners of your mouth are the key to that impression.
When the corners of your mouth droop, you tend to look older than you actually are or give the impression that you're in a bad mood.
On the other hand, a smile with naturally upturned corners tends to give a bright and gentle impression.
Get That "Blissful" Lip Look! Transform Your First Impression in 2 Steps
STEP 1: Use "hyaluronic acid" for thin lips
The "lip hyaluronic acid" procedure is designed to reshape the lips and make them look fuller and more voluminous.
By injecting hyaluronic acid,It adds just the right amount of volume to your lips and enhances the overall appearance of your mouth.。
STEP 2: Use "Botox" for drooping corners of the mouth
By injecting Botox into the “depressor anguli oris” muscle—which pulls the corners of the mouth downward—we relax the muscle’s activity, naturally lifting the corners of the mouth.This makes it easier to smile, so you can maintain a natural, upturned-corner-of-the-mouth look.。
Hyaluronic Acid for Lips × Botox for the Corners of the Mouth: Achieve Your Ideal Smile
While each treatment can be performed individually, combining them makes it easier to achieve overall balance around the mouth. By plumping the lips and lifting the corners of the mouth, you’ll achieve a natural-looking smile that gives you a cheerful expression, as if you were wearing “happiness lips.”
