Cosmetic Treatments: Lip & Perioral Lines

Fillers are injectable treatments that can be used to add volume and fullness to the lips and smooth out wrinkles and lines around the mouth and nose, also known as perioral lines or “smokers lines.” Many people find lip and perioral line fillers desirable because they can help to enhance the appearance of the lips and improve the overall contour of the face.

Treatment Options

There are several treatment options available for improving the appearance of the lips and smoothing out wrinkles and lines around the mouth and nose.

Botox®

BOTOX® treatment is an excellent option for those who are frustrated by the appearance of fine lines but are not looking for a surgical solution. Botox®, also known as botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxin that can be used to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles and lines around the mouth and nose.

Juvederm®

Juvederm® is one of the most popular types of filler for adding volume and shape to the lips. This type of filler also helps reduce the appearance of perioral lines that often occur around the lips, with results lasting 3 to 6 months or longer.

Juvederm® VOLBELLA®

VOLBELLA® is also used for lip enhancement and correction of perioral lines. This hyaluronic acid filler is optimal for those interested in a more subtle enhancement. Treatments involving fillers such as VOLBELLA® can be repeated as necessary to maintain your desired look.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Laser treatments can be used to stimulate collagen production and improve the appearance of wrinkles and lines around the mouth and nose. Our team offers laser skin resurfacing using an ablative erbium laser which vaporizes the layer of damaged skin to reveal fresh, new skin underneath.

Is Lip & Perioral Treatment Right for Me?

Lip and perioral fillers and treatments are generally safe when performed by a qualified healthcare provider.

During a consultation, we will assess your skin and discuss your goals and any concerns you may have.

Beauty Benefits of Lip & Perioral Line Filler

Lip fillers are a great way to get a boost of confidence with fuller, more voluminous lips. This is a low-risk and minimally invasive procedure that can be tailored to enhance your lip shape, smooth out wrinkles and lines, and improve facial symmetry. Many people start out with a small amount of filler and increase their dosage with additional sessions for a more defined lip shape. Results can last for months, depending on which product you use, and typically require no downtime.
