Lip wrinkles, or perioral lines, are a results of collagen loss and laxity around the mouth. This is a natural process; it starts in our late twenties and accelerates with aging.

Due to the skin in this area being thinner, it’s the repetitive movements related to talking, eating, and smiling that make wrinkles in that area of the face form faster than anywhere else.

This is hastened by sun exposure and smoking, together with dehydration and lifestyle choices. As less collagen and elastin are produced, the skin sags, and the first signs of aging appear with the formation of fine lines and deeper folds at the edges of the lips.

Rest assured, here at the Yaman Surgical Medical Center, we have the best options for preventing and treating lips wrinkles and other aesthetic problems.

What Are the Types of Mouth Wrinkles?

Understanding the type of wrinkle present will help guide your treatment process. Below you will find the most common lip wrinkles:

• Smile Lines: Also called nasolabial folds. This runs from the nose to the corners of the mouth and can extend farther with a smile or laugh.
• Marionette Lines: A set of vertical lines from the corners of your mouth running to the chin, often giving the appearance of sagging.
• Lipstick Lines: Thin, vertical lines on the lips, often called smoker’s lines, usually happening when a person does any action of puckering up regularly.

So, what type of lip wrinkle do you have? If you’ve examined your wrinkle, let’s first give you some information about how you can care for it at home.

How Can I Help My Lip Lines at Home?

Prior to getting professional treatment, it is relatively simple to improve mild to moderate wrinkles at home by using proper skincare. And enjoying some of the benefits from different plant and essential oils and plant-based ingredients to moisturize the skin and help boost elasticity.

Do Essential Oils Help Slow My Wrinkles?

Many essential oils that are used in combination with a carrier oil may help support the skin from losing firmness and encourage skin cell turnover. Some examples of essential oils, which may be safe for people, are sandalwood, frankincense, and lavender as they have been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammation properties.

Therefore, you would use a small amount of the essential oil in a carrier oil and only put it around the mouth (not glossing it right on the lips) and it can help over time with minimizing fine lines on the skin and keep the delicate outer skin calming and protected.

What are Some Plant Oils that Help with Wrinkles around the Mouth?

Some other examples of oils that could be included are castor oil, coconut oil, olive oil, plant grape seed oil, and sunflower oil. They are all skin hydration and regenerative agents.

These oils represent in general, various oil types that would be safe around the lips. And contain essential fatty acids to allow for restoration of hydration, elasticity, and often provide moisture barrier protection against photo-ageing from UV.

Plant oils would eventually restore the healthy glow of your skin as the use is repeated and reduce the fine lines that have appeared.

Can You Fix Lip Wrinkles with Medical and Aesthetic Therapy?

These natural methods tend to reverse early signs of aging, but usually deeper wrinkles need assistance from a physician. At the Yaman Surgical Medical Center, we provide a variety of aesthetic procedures that are safe and effective, for each individual patient.

What is a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels exfoliate the skin to remove dead skin cells on the outer surface in order to create a fresher, brighter appearance.  Overall, regular chemical peels help stimulate collagen resulting in improved skin texture.

What are Dermabrasion and Microdermabrasion?

Both treatments remove outer layers of skin in order to improve the appearance of fine line by polishing the skin on the surface. Dermabrasion removes deeper skin layers with the use of a rotating instrument.

Microdermabrasion is performed using microcrystals or a diamond tip spiral hand instrument which gently exfoliates the skin. Both procedures assist in improving skin texture while stimulating collagen to produce a smoother surface of the skin.

Does Microneedling Have an Effect On Collagen?

Micro-needling is referred to as collagen induction therapy; this involves perforating the skin with the use of very fine needles, creating micro-injuries.

In doing so, this “skin injury” results in the body’s healing response which promotes an increase in collagen and elastin. In just a few treatments the patient’s skin will be much firmer and will look much younger.

Is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) a Good Treatment?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) or “vampire facial”, utilizes the growth factors from the platelets in your own blood – either injected into the skin or applying the plasma on the skin after microneedling.

PRP revitalizes the skin and the results can last for up to a year. Also, it is a regenerative procedure for volume and revitalization treatments, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Do You Perform Dermal Fillers in Istanbul?

Dermal fillers are also used in our Istanbul medical aesthetic clinic for deeper wrinkles, and of course, for instant volume for marionette lines.

Skin fillers are used to restore volume and smoothen the skin, with common ingredients being hyaluronic acid and its variants. The results will thus be immediately visible, although the longevity of these results depends on the type of filler used.

Are Your Botox Treatments Natural Looking?

Botox injections relax the facial muscles that create wrinkles and fine lines. In our Istanbul clinic, we apply Botox as part of a comprehensive rejuvenation process combined with various aesthetic procedures.

 

This is a very good treatment for smoothing the lines around the upper lip, returning a fresh, natural, and youthful appearance with little to no downtime.

What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing utilizes focused beams of light to eliminate damaged layers of skin. Therefore, this drastically promotes collagen production, erases lines of damaged skin to reveal smoother, even-toned skin, and has minimal healing time.

Do You Combine a Facelift with Other Cosmetic Surgeries?
