Ladies, let’s face it—hair removal on your upper lip can be daunting. This nonsurgical procedure uses small dissolvable threads to smooth out fine lines around your mouth and boost collagen production. Unlike lip fillers that add volume to your lips, lip threading adds curve and definition, primarily to the cupid's bow area of your upper lip.

  1. Your plastic surgeon or dermatologist will create a small puncture hole at the corner of your mouth, flush with your lip line.
  2. Using a cannula (a thin tube) that’s prepackaged with a thin thread, your doctor will insert the thread. The thread may also be prepackaged in a needle with a point, which would remove the need to create a puncture hole at all.
