Do you have smoker's lines that surround your mouth? Whether or not cigarettes are the cause of those lines, I've never met anyone that's okay with them. In fact, I often state that many of my "hippie" friends are not okay with those lines as they can make us look dehydrated and unhealthy.
Perioral lines are quite challenging to treat and often need multiple modalities to gain any ground. Genetics play the largest role in whether or not someone has lip lines or not but we can't control that, can we? We do, however, have some control with prevention: avoiding habits or environments that accelerate the appearance of aging. We also can look at early intervention with a variety of treatments to help stimulate collagen and decrease the deepening of these lines. Are you past the point of early intervention and needing some serious work to this area? Be ready to be patient. We can achieve reasonable results but there is no one thing that works alone. It will take a process...we need time and money.
This episode is a cliff note version on the prevention and treatment of lip lines.
