Each DermaStrip is a single molded piece of medical-grade hydrogel, thin enough to sit unnoticed behind the lip and firm enough to hold the fold open while you wear it. Both faces are usable, so the strip is rotated and reversed between wears.
The wide end spreads pressure along the fold instead of pressing on one point.
Thousands of shallow wells grip gently, so the strip stays put without adhesive.
Applied to every strip before it ships.
Flip the strip after each use. If you have a pronounced frenum, wear the more curved side up.
The narrow middle clears the frenum so the strip can ride high above the gums.
The four moldings differ in rated lift, from .024N to .052N, and in shape. They are all worn the same way.
Strength is not a marketing word here, it is a force. Each molding is rated for the lift it applies behind the lip. Original and Collagen share the same gentle .024N and differ by zone, Vermilion is the lip specialist at .039N, and Professional is the strongest at .052N, covering all four zones.
Original. The gentle start for peri-oral lines and nasolabial folds.
Collagen. The same gentle lift, wider coverage: adds marionette lines.
Vermilion. Made for the lip: volume, border and cupid's bow.
Professional. Our strongest lift, covering all four zones.
A peri-oral line is a fold in tissue that has lost the support underneath it. Cross-sections through the upper lip, left to right: the fold at rest, the fold while a strip is worn, and the fold after thirty days of daily wear.
Tissue creases inward where support has thinned. Every expression deepens the same crease in the same place.
The strip sits behind the lip, high above the gum line, and takes the load the tissue lost. The crease is held open while you wear it.
After thirty days of daily wear the fold sits shallower between wears. This is the change the day 1 and day 30 photographs measure.
Material is placed inside the fold to push it out. It is a clinical appointment, and the result fades over months as the body metabolizes it.
The strip rests behind the lip and carries the fold from the inside. You put it in, you take it out, and it costs you fifteen minutes of a morning. One set is reusable for 4 to 6 months, about $1 a day.
A medical-grade hydrogel, the same family of material as soft contact lenses. Hypoallergenic and free of plastic, latex, BPA, BPS, BPF and gluten. Finished with an anti-plaque coating, rinsed clean after every wear, and reusable for 4 to 6 months with proper care.
One lip at a time, once a day. It will feel new, the way a retainer did on day one. The strip may move while your mouth adjusts, and that is normal for the first few wears. If you are comfortable, wear it the full 15 minutes from the start. If not, begin with a few minutes and build up across the week. By week two, most women forget it is in.
Most women wear theirs while they shower, make coffee or do the rest of their skincare. It is the whole daily ask.
DermaStrips are worn 15 minutes a day: one strip, under the upper or lower lip, along the gum line. Most women see visible results by day 30. Here is exactly how to wear them, what the first week feels like, and how to care for your set.
Clean the strip before each use with mouthwash or mild soap.
Choose one area: upper or lower lip. One strip at a time, never both at once.
Place the strip inside your mouth, under the lip, along the gum line above the teeth. Slight overlap with your teeth is normal and does not affect results.
Wear it as high above the gums as it will sit comfortably, wings facing up.
Strips are reversible. Flip them each use to extend their life. If the muscle above your front teeth is prominent, use the more curved side facing up.
Close your mouth and relax your face. Do not talk, eat or drink while it is in. Fifteen quiet minutes is the whole ask.
After each use, rinse with warm water or mouthwash and store it somewhere cool and dry.
Strips live in their case between wears. Warm water or mouthwash after each use, cool and dry storage, and no extreme heat. With proper care your set is reusable for 4 to 6 months.
The quiz matches strength and shape to where your lines actually sit. It is four questions and takes about thirty seconds.
Either side can face up, the strips are rotatable and reversible. Alternating the direction each wear extends their life. With a pronounced frenum, wear the more curved side facing up.
Treat the upper and lower lip on the same day, but not at the same time. One strip, one lip, fifteen quiet minutes, then move it to the other.
Yes, in the first week, while your mouth adjusts. Sit the strip higher above the gums and keep your face relaxed. If irritation occurs, stop use.

Four questions, thirty seconds, and the strip that matches your lines.
