Lip Lines
Iron out those lip lines
Lip lines are the little vertical lines that form above and below the lips of adults. They start to develop in our early adults and persist throughout our lives. As these lines are on the face, they are very hard to hide even with makeup. As we age, we lose collagen and elastin, which are proteins that give our skin structure, and the loss of these proteins will eventually cause these lines. When we have repetitive facial expressions, it can cause the skin to be repeatedly creased, as well as gravity, and even sleeping that causes the face to be scrunched by the pillow which can leave these lines. Treatment options for this condition are Anti-Wrinkle treatment, Dermal Fillers and Biorevitalisation.
Treatment Options
Biorevitalisation
Biorevitalization is the revitalization of skin in a natural way using its own collagen. It principally works by kickstarting the production of natural collagen and cell rejuvenation through the injection of hyaluronic acid along with other vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants into the upper layer of the skin. This infusion of nourishing ingredients helps to deeply hydrate and reinvigorate the skin, and is used as a treatment for pigmentation, dull or dry skin, and improving the quality of the skin. This treatment is a modern method in treating skin imperfections or cosmetic corrections. These injections are done to deliver, delivering nutrients into the skin to hydrate and revitalise.
Botulinum Toxin type A Treatment
Botulinum Toxin are toxins injected into the body in small doses to temporarily relax the muscle. Small doses of Botulinum toxin such as those used in cosmetics are safe. It earned the approval of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for optional treatment of wrinkles in 1989, and botulinum toxin type A was also later approved by FDA in 2002. This treatment works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles, making the injected muscle unable to contract. As a result, it makes conditions such as wrinkles relax and soften. Because of their aesthetic benefits, it has become one of the most commonly used treatments in cosmetics. Botulinum injections can be harmful in the hands of an amateur injector, that's why it's incredibly important to seek a credible aesthetician when performing the treatments.

Dermal Filler
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected under the layer of the skin to restore the lessening or lost volume, smooth lines such as wrinkles, or enhance the definition of particular parts of the face. With that being said, it is one of the most popular treatments for conditions that has irregularities, asymmetry, or abnormality in shape, form, and definition of the skin such as wrinkles, humps, or receding skin. Dermal fillers can vary in their composition to make them more suitable for the treatment of different areas. The most common type of dermal filler is the hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler, which is composed of a sugar molecule hyaluronic acid, a fluid that is naturally occurring in our bodies and is typically used for wrinkles, under the eyes, lips, and cheek augmentation.
