Lip Lines

Lip lines, also known as perioral lines or lipstick lines, are vertical wrinkles that form around the mouth, particularly on the upper lip. They are caused by a combination of factors including:

1. Ageing: Over time, the skin loses elasticity and firmness, leading to lip line formation as collagen and elastin production decline.
2. Sun damage: UV radiation accelerates skin ageing by breaking down collagen and elastin, thinning the skin and promoting lip lines.
3. Repetitive facial expressions: Regular lip movements, like pursing or smiling, contribute to lip line development through repeated skin creasing.
4. Smoking: Tobacco smoke restricts blood flow, reduces skin oxygenation, and generates free radicals, accelerating lip line formation.
5. Loss of collagen and elastin in the skin: Age-related decline in collagen and elastin leads to decreased skin support and resilience, exacerbating lip lines.

At Freyja Medical, we provide tailored solutions like dermal fillers, plexr and more to target lip wrinkles. These treatments effectively restore volume, yielding natural-looking results for a youthful, smooth lip area, all under the expertise of our dermatology team.

Yes, lip lines can be treated effectively through various dermatological procedures and skincare interventions. Treatment options include:

1. Dermal Fillers: Injectable fillers, typically made of hyaluronic acid, can be used to plump up the skin and fill in fine lines around the lips, resulting in a smoother appearance.
2. Anti-Wrinkle Injections: This can relax the muscles around the mouth, reducing the appearance of dynamic lip lines caused by repetitive facial expressions.
3. Plexr Plus: Plexr Plus treatments utilise plasma technology to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin around the lips, diminishing the appearance of fine lines without the need for invasive surgery.
4. Skincare Products: Using topical creams or serums containing ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, and peptides can help stimulate collagen production and improve the overall appearance of lip wrinkles over time.

At our Wrexham clinic, we offer medically led treatments for lip lines, focusing on softening fine lines around the mouth while maintaining natural movement and expression. Your lip lines treatment in Wrexham is tailored to your muscle activity, skin quality, and overall facial balance.

All injectable treatments and Plexr for lip lines in Wrexham are carried out by our experienced aesthetic practitioners, nurse Clare Wyatt and Dr Karen Gait.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections for Lip Lines

Lip lines can be caused by repeated muscle movement around the mouth. Targeted anti-wrinkle injections can help reduce excessive movement, softening lines without affecting natural expression or function.

Dermal Fillers & Skin Boosters for Lip Lines

Where lip lines are linked to volume loss or dehydration, dermal fillers and skin boosters can be used to restore support, improve hydration, and smooth the skin around the mouth for a fresher appearance.

Polynucleotides for Skin Quality

If lip lines are associated with thin or poor-quality skin, polynucleotides offer a regenerative approach. These treatments help improve hydration, elasticity, and overall skin health, supporting gradual softening of fine lines.

Plexr for Precision Skin Tightening

For more defined or etched lip lines, Plexr can be used to target specific areas of excess or crepey skin, encouraging tightening and skin regeneration without surgery.

Microneedling for Lip Lines

When lip lines are linked to early ageing or reduced collagen, microneedling can help improve skin texture and firmness by stimulating natural collagen production.

Microneedling treatments in Wrexham are carried out by our expert skincare therapists, Hattie Klein and Sigita Tumaviciene.

Holistic Facial Assessment

The lip area works closely with surrounding muscles and skin structures. Our practitioners assess these interactions carefully to ensure your results look balanced, natural, and in harmony with your wider facial expressions.

At our Nantwich clinic, lip line treatments are approached with a focus on precision, skin health, and subtle enhancement. The aim is to soften lines around the mouth while maintaining natural movement and a well-balanced appearance.

All injectable treatments and Plexr for lip lines in Nantwich are carried out exclusively by aesthetic specialist Dr Laura Bland, ensuring a medically led and carefully tailored approach.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections to Soften Lip Lines

Lip lines can form as a result of repeated muscle movement around the mouth. Anti-wrinkle injections may be used to gently reduce excessive activity, helping to soften lines without compromising expression.

Dermal Fillers & Skin Boosters for Hydration and Support

Where loss of hydration or support is contributing to lip lines, dermal fillers and skin boosters can help improve structure and skin quality, creating a smoother, more refreshed appearance around the mouth.

Polynucleotides to Improve Skin Quality

If lip lines are linked to thin or weakened skin, polynucleotides offer a regenerative option. These treatments support hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality, with gradual improvement over time.

Plexr for Focused Skin Tightening

For more etched or persistent lip lines, Plexr can be used to tighten and regenerate the skin with precision, offering a non-surgical solution for targeted areas.

Microneedling to Encourage Collagen Renewal

When reduced collagen and early skin ageing are contributing factors, microneedling can help improve skin texture and firmness by stimulating natural collagen production.

Microneedling treatments in Nantwich are carried out by our experienced therapist Hattie.

Holistic Facial Assessment
