Perioral wrinkles, i.e. fine vertical lines that appear above and below the lips, are caused by repeated muscle movements, similar to the wrinkles around the eyes or on the forehead.
One of the main causes is thinning of the skin due to the loss of collagen, which is natural for every person.
In addition to smoking and the natural aging process, there are other factors that can lead to wrinkles in the perioral area. Exposure to UVA and UVB rays and failure to regularly apply a highly effective broad-spectrum sunscreen accelerate collagen degradation. Caffeine and alcohol dehydrate the body and can lead to lip wrinkles. An unhealthy diet, stress, and lack of sleep also promote wrinkle formation.

There are various treatment options, depending on the individual findings and severity. In principle, less strongly cross-linked hyaluronic acids, skin boosters, or even Sculptra are suitable. PRP and Morpheus 8™ can also fundamentally improve the quality of the skin around the mouth. The results of hyaluronic acid treatment are immediately visible. Skin boosters, Sculptra®, and PRP only show their full effects after several months, but they last a very long time.
