Different Types of Mouth Wrinkles

Just because wrinkles may form in proximity to certain areas on your face, not all wrinkles are the same. In fact, when wrinkles form on the face, they can affect other areas around the mouth. So, before you begin your search for mouth wrinkles treatment options, it’s a good idea to know more about the types of mouth wrinkles you may be seeing.

  Lipstick Lines
Vertical lines, also known as “lipstick lines”, form vertically around the mouth. When lipstick settles into the creases, lines are most noticeable on the lips, thus this is how the name lipstick lines was derived. Mostly caused by lifestyles, sun exposure, and the natural aging process, these lines can make the mouth look strained.

  Marionette Lines
Marionette lines are vertical wrinkles that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin. They are a natural part of aging, and become more pronounced as the skin loses elasticity and collagen production decreases. Oftentimes, they can make the face look tired or sad, and can affect your overall facial expression.

  Vertical Lines
Sometimes called “smoker lines”, even if you don’t smoke, these vertical lines and wrinkles still form. Vertical lines are fine lines that appear above the lips. The natural aging process, smoking and sun damage can cause them.

  Nasolabial Folds
Often referred to as “expression lines”, nasolabial folds are lines that extend from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. These skin creases become more prominent with age, and facial movement like smiling.

Mouth Wrinkles Treatment

Luckily, there are many different treatments available to help reduce the appearance of mouth wrinkles and lines. At Magnolia Medical & Aesthetics, most patients benefit from a combination of treatments that are personalized for their specific needs. The following are non-invasive treatments that can help reduce the look of mouth wrinkles. These treatments can also improve the overall feel and look of your skin’s texture.

Botox

Botox is a neurotoxin injectable treatment used to temporarily block nerve signals to targeted muscles to prevent them from moving for a limited time. This non-invasive treatment can help smooth out wrinkles, soften lines and prevent new ones from forming.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP is a medical treatment that uses your own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration to improve skin tone and reduce wrinkles. A professional draws blood samples and uses a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the other blood components. These platelets are injected into your skin’s target areas to complete this treatment. This will help stimulate collagen production, promoting your skin’s healing ability.

Dermal Fillers

As an injectable treatment, many dermal fillers are made with hyaluronic acid. These injectables fill areas where the skin has lost volume to create a youthful, and smoother appearance.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive encourages collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture. The procedure relies on tiny needles, which create micro-injuries in the skin to trigger the body’s natural healing response. The result is smoother, firmer skin.

Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation uses dermal fillers to smooth fine lines around the lips. This treatment can minimize the look of vertical lip lines because it adds volume to the affected areas.
