Let’s talk about barcode lines, those fine vertical lines above the lips that appear much sooner than most people expect.
As a medical aesthetic practitioner, I see these often, even in patients who have never smoked. They’re caused by natural collagen loss, repetitive movement when speaking, genetics and sun exposure. The good news is they can be treated effectively and naturally.
At SkinView, the most successful approach is combination therapy, because these lines need more than one solution to soften and repair them. The best treatments include:
Rejuvenation Toxins
Relaxes the overactive muscle around the mouth, preventing deeper creasing and softening existing lines.
Polynucleotides / Skin Boosters
Microneedled into the area to repair the skin, restore elasticity and improve the texture around the mouth.
Light Fill Correction (when needed)
A tiny amount of filler can support the structure of the lip border and smooth deeper etched lines while keeping the result natural.
Microneedling
Boosts collagen in the upper-lip area to tighten and refine the skin over time.
And last but not least
Lip flip with B-Tox injection to help relax the Orbicularis Oris muscle to soften it from making a purse string tight muscle causing permanent wrinkles and fine lines
The goal isn’t to change your features, it’s to restore firmness, smoothness and confidence around an area that often ages first.
At SkinView, we create a personalised plan that looks natural, soft and in harmony with the rest of your face.
