Perioral Lines Treatment Bishops Waltham

Perioral lines (also known as smoker’s lines or barcode lines) are the fine vertical lines that form around the mouth. As we age, several factors contribute to the development of these lines. Firstly, the skin loses collagen and elastin, which provide structural support, causing the skin to become more wrinkled. Additionally, as the lips deflate with age, the lines become more prominent since the lips are no longer stretched out as much. Furthermore, the vermillion border (the border of the lip) weakens over time, and repeated pursing of the lips contributes to the formation of these lines. At our clinic, located in Bishops Waltham, Otterbourne, Stockbridge, and Alresford, we offer effective treatments for perioral lines. Through dermal fillers or other targeted procedures, we can restore volume to the lips, strengthen the vermillion border, and smooth out fine lines around the mouth, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance. If you’re concerned about perioral lines and would like to explore treatment options, book a consultation today at our clinic in Bishops Waltham, Otterbourne, Stockbridge, or Alresford. Let us help you restore a smoother, more youthful smile!

These can be addressed beautifully with a fine filler which I like to call a ‘superficial line eraser’ as it does exactly that. In this area any extra volume can make the mouth look distorted but with the right technique and the right product, the lines can be treated without causing any projection of the top lip. Sometimes I combine this treatment with lip filler or reinstating the vermillion border but sometimes the lines can just be treated by themselves.

Aftercare

After treatment, I advise my patients not to do anything that will make them hot or flushed (red in the face) otherwise there is a risk of the Botox spreading to a muscle we are not intending to treat. Examples of this would be exercise, saunas, sunbeds (don’t use sunbeds ever anyway!), lots of alcohol or facials. After 24 hours you can do any of the above as the Botox won’t move after this.

FAQs

What Are They?

Botulinum toxin is injected carefully into the muscle, which temporarily blocks the signal from the nerve, leaving the muscle in a relaxed state. There are many different brands of botulinum toxin but I use Botox, made by Allergan.

What Are The Benefits?

The main benefit of Botox injections is a reduction in wrinkles, and softening of established lines, but Botox only works on areas of movement. However, Botox can also be used in the masseter muscles to relieve jaw clenching or teeth grinding which alleviates tension and headaches, and minimises dental damage. Interestingly, Botox can also be used to stop sweating so can be injected under the armpits or into palms or soles of feet, with excellent effect.

Are They Painful?

Botox injections sting a tiny bit but I would rate it at 1-2/10 on the pain scale. In my opinion, pain should absolutely not be a barrier to botox treatment for anyone. If necessary, numbing cream can be applied beforehand.

How Long Is Each Session?

My botox appointments are 20 minutes, but once your dose is established it might not even take that long.
