Lip lines (aka lipstick lines or smoker’s lines) are those pesky wrinkles around the mouth, making our smiles look aged and tired.
Luckily, effective solutions are available to help reduce the appearance of lip lines. This article covers everything you need to know about removing lip lines, from preventative measures to simple treatments and fillers.
Lip line: Effective tips to remove or improve
While these lines are a natural part of aging, there are ways to reduce their visibility and achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance:
Hydration, hydration, hydration!: –
When combating lip lines, keep your lips moisturised and hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain proper levels, and regularly apply a nourishing lip balm or moisturiser.
Exfoliate and treat: –
Very gently (and we mean gently!) exfoliate your lips to help remove dead skin cells and stimulate blood circulation, promoting a smoother texture.
At Define Laser and Cosmetic Surgery are all about using natural ingredients where you can, a DIY lip scrub using sugar and honey is a wonderful mixture, or choose a well-known cosmetic brand lip exfoliator.
Following exfoliation, apply a lip treatment containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid or retinol. This can help plump the lips and diminish the appearance of lines over time.
Sun protection: –
We all know excessive sun exposure is bad overall, but it can also accelerate the formation of lip lines.
Regular sun protection will safeguard your lips against damage and prevent the deepening of existing lines. Before heading outdoors, shield your lips from harmful UV rays by applying a lip balm or lipstick with SPF.
Dermal filler & anti-wrinkle: –
Does your lipstick bleed, or are your lip lines prominent? Cosmetic treatments such as Dermal Fillers and Anti-wrinkle may be your answer and give quick results when fixing lip lines.
- Dermal fillers for lip lines – can restore the lost volume and smooth out the inner lip lines.
- Anti-wrinkle lip injections for lip lines – are a non-invasive procedure designed to restore volume – making them plump or smooth. They can also stop your lipstick from bleeding by removing the creases around the lips or simply hydrating them.
- Both treatments have limited downtime and minimal discomfort.
