The Hidden Danger – Melanoma Discovery on Two Botox Patients
13th October 2024
As we age, certain face areas are more prone to visible lines and wrinkles, especially around the mouth. Often referred to as “barcode lines” or “smoker’s wrinkles,” these fine lines can appear even if you’ve never smoked due to factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, and natural volume loss. At Dr. Bela Clinic, we specialise in non-surgical solutions to address these concerns using hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Today, I’m excited to share a case study demonstrating how perioral rejuvenation can restore a youthful appearance with subtle, natural results.
What Are Barcode Lines and Smoker’s Wrinkles?
Barcode lines are the fine vertical wrinkles that form around the lips. Though they are commonly called “smoker’s lines,” they can appear due to sun damage, loss of collagen, and repetitive movements like pursing the lips. These lines tend to be more prominent in women, as they have naturally thinner skin and different hormonal changes that contribute to this area’s ageing process.
How Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers Work for Perioral Rejuvenation
Hyaluronic acid fillers are a versatile, effective treatment for perioral rejuvenation. These fillers provide volume and deeply hydrate the skin, helping smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. For this treatment, I used a blunt cannula technique to ensure precise placement, reducing the risk of bruising and irritation. This technique allows minimal entry points, making the procedure gentle and quick with immediate results.
In this case, I treated the area around the mouth using hyaluronic acid fillers to add volume, smooth the skin, and enhance lip definition. The patient wanted to maintain a natural look, so we focused on subtle improvements that achieved a refreshed, youthful appearance without altering the shape of the lips.
The Treatment: Minimising Discomfort and Maximizing Results
For this perioral filler procedure, I employed a blunt cannula technique that requires only two small entry points at the corners of the mouth. This approach minimises the number of injections, which is ideal for areas prone to bruising, like the region above the lips. I applied retrograde threading to lay the filler evenly, ensuring a smooth result without any harsh lines or lumps.
The procedure specifically targeted the fine lines of the upper and lower lips, addressing the smoker’s wrinkles and mild volume loss related to ageing. Hyaluronic acid fillers are particularly effective for these issues, as they naturally integrate with the skin’s tissue for soft, flexible results that look youthful yet subtle. Additionally, these fillers are temporary, allowing for adjustments over time to maintain the desired look.
Before and After: The Benefits of Perioral Rejuvenation
In the before-and-after photos, you can see a remarkable difference around the mouth area. Fine lines are significantly reduced, and the lips appear smoother and more defined. The patient’s overall appearance is subtly enhanced, achieving a more youthful look that complements her natural beauty.
The patient was thrilled with the results and reported no discomfort or bruising post-procedure. In fact, she was so pleased that she sent an email the same evening to express her satisfaction and has since scheduled further treatments. This is the beauty of non-surgical lip and perioral rejuvenation—patients can see immediate results with minimal downtime.
