Upper Lip Lines - Causes and Treatments That Work | Beauty 101

After years of kissing, chewing, talking, yawning, andbad habits, the vertical upper lip lines and wrinkles that used to appear only with movement begin to become etched on our facial skin.

Wrinkles and lines around the lips can be the most severe on the face. Upper lip lines can take away from the cosmetic appeal of youthful lips. Some call them lipstick lines because lipstick can seep into the skin above the lips, taking harbor in what can be deep lines.

Upper lip lines are challenging to remove because were constantly moving our mouths and lips, sothe skin surrounding the upper and lower lips pays the price. But there are things, from skincare to injections and laser procedures, that hide, diminish, and even erase upper lip lines.

Why?

Lines and wrinkles on the skin around the upper lips are caused by:

• Sun exposure
• Smoking
• Alcohol consumption
• Genetics
• Gender: womens skin around the lips tends to age faster than mens.
• Skin aging: from loss of collagen, elastin, naturally occurring hyaluronic acid.
• Oxidative stress, which can occur from environmental stressors, such as pollution, heavy metals, and more.

Fixes

• Hydrate The Skin:Proper hydration of the skin above the lips means more than drinking lots of water. Its hydration deep within the skin that occurs with the use of moisturizers. The effect from moisturizers tends to be temporary but can help smooth the surface wrinkles and lines above the lip.
• Topical Skincare: Topical creams and serums can helpprevent skin aging and the development of static upper lip lines, as well as address the appearance of surface vertical upper lip lines and wrinkles that form with time.
• Treatments in the Doctors Office:When getting treatments and procedures for upper lip lines in the doctors office, look for healthcare providers who are experienced in treating the upper lip area. Even minimally invasive procedures can result in unwanted pigmentary changes and complications if they are not delivered by an experienced cosmetic medicine clinician. In-office treatments for the upper lip lines include: mild chemical peels,neuromodulatorsto temporarily and gently weaken the pucker,hyaluronic acid dermal filler injections to temporarily plump the lines, laser treatment to resurface the skin around the mouth.

Makeup Tips for Camouflaging Wrinkles

Makeup can soften the appearance of the lines and wrinkles, but applying it is tricky. After applying your skincare products for the day, experts recommend applying a primer to the area around the mouth. Primers help to coat the skin, filling in lines and creating a smoother surface. Follow that with a light layer of foundation blended in around the face, including around the mouth.
