What causes lip lines?

lip lines are just a cosmetic concern so if you have them and they don’t bother you it’s no big deal you do not have to fix them I just find that so many women absolutely hate them and so I want to talk about what you can do I think the thing that bothers women in particular about their vertical lip lines is that it prematurely ages them like the rest of their face is doing pretty well but when they look up close at their mouth they feel like they look like their mom the other thing is you rarely see these vertical lip lines in men and that’s thought to be due to the fact that they have what we call terminal hairs or thicker hairs in the mustache area that really help support and almost act as a strut for the skin so it’s less prone to wrinkling or collapsing in on itself and I know sometimes the world of Cosmetics can feel a little bit more

Management and Treatment

What is the best treatment for lip lines?

At home to improve your lip lines because not everyone has access to a dermatologistand honestly, I would argue that the things you are doing consistently at home in your routine are just as effective and just as impactful if not more so than things we do in the office so the number one thing I’m going to talk about lifestyle changes and whenever I talk about lifestyle changes or things that you’re doing regularly to incorporate into your routine
if you happen to be a smoker you need to stop not only is that repeated pursing causing those lip lines. to form but also smoking breaks down the collagen in your skin so it worsens it that way as well the other thing you need to stop doing and I feel like this is the hardest thing for my patients to stop doing is drinking through an straw all-day long I feel like I’ve seen this become a bigger issue as the Stanley Cup has become a big thing like having a big jug of water

How can I reduce the appearance of lip lines?

While permanent elimination of lip lines isn’t possible, several treatments can significantly reduce their appearance or provide temporary improvement. These non-surgical procedures include:

- Botulinum toxin (Botox®) injections: Relax muscles to smooth wrinkles
- Chemical peels: Remove outer skin layers to reveal smoother skin
- Dermabrasion: Exfoliates the skin to reduce fine lines
- Laser skin resurfacing: Uses laser technology to stimulate collagen production
- Lip fillers: Add volume to smooth out lines
- Microneedling: Creates small punctures in the skin, with or without radiofrequency, to stimulate collagen and elastin production

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy: Uses your blood’s platelets to rejuvenate the skin

Surgical Solutions for Lip Lines

Shout out to surgery and the role that plays in rejuvenating the skin around the mouth so like I mentioned earlier not only as we age do we get these lines that increase in the upper lip but also the lip length lengthens and that can age people so
if you’re treating those lines but you also have a very long upper lip you could consider a surgical lip lift in which they cut out a little bit of skin right underneath the nose and lift the lip that can make the lip look a lot better but again it is surgery and has its own set of risks I hope these tips were
