Fine lip lines – not just smokers

Fine lip lines around the mouth are often associated with smokers. However, the truth is that anyone can develop these fine lines. These fine lip lines are created by how the mouth moves, as your lips are vulnerable. Find out how to tackle and prevent them.

Habits that cause fine lip lines

Fine lip lines tend to appear more on women than men since it’s more noticeable on thin skin. Contrary to popular belief, they are not the result of puckering your lips around a cigarette (or taking pouting selfies). Instead, fine lip lines are the result of the sucking motion that keeps your mouth moving. Lollipop lover? You’re at risk. Are you drinking through straws? Fine lip lines are likely in your future.

These habits constantly contract the mouth’s main muscle, and over time, vertical wrinkles appear and may worsen.

The good news is that there are solutions for softening these fine lip lines.

Fine lip lines and neurotoxins

Neurotoxin treatments are beneficial for targeted application to prevent constant muscle movements. For fine lip lines, small anti-wrinkle injections are focused on the top lip to not only reduce muscle movement but also improves lip rejuvenation.

Fine lip lines and dermal volumisers

Lips and dermal volumisers are a perfect match. This type of procedure is non-invasive and has a quick recovery time. The sooner you treat your fine lip lines with volumisers, the better, as they are easier to treat and respond better to the treatment.

Fine lip lines and bio-remodelling

Bio-remodelling is ideal if skin texture, and not just fine lip lines, is a concern. This procedure gives crepe-like skin renewed firmness and a tight, youthful look.
