You may be a candidate for a filler like Juvederm or Restylane. These hyaluronic acid treatments last 12 to 18 months. The fillers push up and support the folds that create deep lines. Botox prevents or slows the development of deeper lines.
Squirt a dot of liquid primer or foundation onto a concealer brush and spread it on the skin. Then, take the tip of your finger and gently pat it evenly across the skin so it fills in fine lines. The primer or foundation also plumps the skin so the pores and wrinkles aren't as visible.
Permanent soft tissue filler (Bellafill).
This filler is used to smooth deep wrinkles around the mouth. The body can't absorb this type of filler, so it doesn't require reinjection. Permanent soft tissue filler generally isn't recommended as a first-time facial filler treatment.
Instead, in most cases, to smooth out lines around the mouth the most popular option is dermal fillers. They work by hydrating the area, replenishing lost volume, and smoothing out the lines for a more youthful appearance.
Try Wrinkle Fillers
If you've tried every face peel and laser procedure under the sun and still can't get your lip lines to go away, it may be time to try wrinkle fillers. This treatment uses a needle to inject hyaluronic-acid based dermal fillers to plump up your skin and smooth out those deep wrinkles.
StriVectin's skin care infused LINEblurFECTOR Instant Wrinkle Blurring Primer instantly fills and blurs the look of deep wrinkles while prolonging makeup wear.
The Restylane family of fillers
Restylane is considered particularly effective for lines – known as nasolabial folds – that can develop between the nose and the mouth, which can often be stubborn to treat. The average cost of Restylane filler for each syringe is around $550.
On average, cheek filler costs between $600 to $1,200 per syringe, and Dr. Hartman notes that most people need two to three during one treatment (so, you know, do your math).
Nasolabial folds are creases in your skin extending from both sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. As you age, the lines deepen, especially in people who smoke or don't protect their skin from sun damage.
Sometimes, a light touch up around the mouth with filler is the icing on the cake. A light sprinkling of filler in this area can help lift drooping mouth corners and sculpt the jawline, smoothing out any remaining signs of jowling.
"Lightweight makeup, such as BB creams, tinted moisturizers or airbrush makeup is great for giving coverage without accentuating fine lines and wrinkles," says Kiralee Hubbard, a makeup artist and founder of Aeroblend Airbrush Makeup.
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that we inject just beneath your skin. They can reconstruct a more youthful look and smooth lines and deep wrinkles.
Botox works by relaxing the muscles around the mouth, but it cannot soften the deep folds in the nasolabial area. In this case, a volume-adding injectable like dermal fillers is often the better choice because it can fill the deep wrinkles and smoothen the skin.
Injectable fillers are among the top choices for people looking to get rid of smile lines without undergoing surgery. Many are made from hyaluronic acid and are injected at the crease that goes from your mouth to your nose.
Try Retinoids, the Ultimate Skin-Plumping and Firming Superheroes. Among all the available products, if there's one you buy, make it a retinoid. “A daily sunscreen and nightly retinoid can actually prevent the need for injectables,” says Lauren Ploch, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Aiken, South Carolina.
As the condition of your skin diminishes, usually in later life because of a depletion of collagen and elastin, those wrinkles become permanently visible on your face, even when you're not smiling.
Lip fillers typically last 12 to 18 months. However, it depends on your age and how fast your body breaks down calories into energy (metabolism). Younger people tend to burn calories faster, so lip fillers don't last as long.
