Aging of the mouth and lips
Over time, signs of aging around the mouth and lips become visible. At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we offer a holistic, personal approach to restore natural volume and youthful appearance, with subtle and effective customized treatments.
How do lips and mouth age?
Over the years, our lips gradually lose volume and firmness. This is due to a decrease in collagen and elastin, two important substances that give the skin structure and fullness. There is also a redistribution of fat in the face, which makes the lips less firm and can change their shape. This causes lips to become thinner and lose their natural fullness.
In addition, fine lines around the mouth are becoming increasingly visible. These lines are created by mimicry, such as laughing or talking, but are enhanced by environmental factors such as sun exposure and smoking. As we age, the vibrant color of the lips can also fade. This happens because the blood vessels in the lip edge decrease, resulting in a duller and less defined appearance.
Another common change is the corners of the mouth, which can sag due to loss of elasticity and muscle strength. This can give you a tired or sad expression, even when you're feeling well. These different processes are a natural part of aging, but they can be slowed down and remedied by a focused, scientific approach.
What are the causes of aging of the oral region?
In addition to genetic factors, environmental factors also play a role in the aging of the lips:
- Sun damage: Unprotected exposure to UV radiation causes loss of volume, accelerates the formation of fine lines and makes the skin around the mouth thinner and more vulnerable.
- Smoking and other lifestyle habits: These contribute to the aging of the mouth and lip region, especially by the repeated contraction of the muscles around the mouth, leading to vertical lines and a decrease in elasticity.
- Thinning lips: Over the years, the lips lose volume and elasticity due to a decrease in collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin, leading to a less full and youthful appearance.
- Decrease in bone structure: With age, the support of the jaw and mouth region decreases, resulting in the sagging of the surrounding tissue and the formation of marionette lines and deep folds.
Our approach: Combination treatments for natural oral rejuvenation
At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we believe in a combination approach to rejuvenate the mouth and lip region in a subtle and natural way. We focus on strengthening skin, restoring volume, and improving definition so that your mouth and lips look fresh and plump with no visible signs of treatment.
Treatment options:
- Hyaluronic acid fillers: These restore volume and moisturize the lips from within, providing a softer, fuller look.
- SkinBoost Lips: For clients who want to give their lips a subtle boost without adding volume, the SkinBoost Lips treatment offers a scientifically based solution. This uses micro-injections with a special hyaluronic acid formula, which strengthens the skin structure and optimizes the moisture content of the lips. This results in hydrated, supple lips with natural softness and firmness, ideal for those who want to rejuvenate their lips without a noticeable change in volume.
- Botox treatments: To relax muscle groups that pull the corners of the mouth down to maintain a natural, cheerful appearance.
- Skin therapies such as peels and microneedling: These help improve skin quality, reduce fine lines, and increase firmness around the mouth.
Maintenance and prevention
To support the effect of treatments and maintain the health of your lips, we recommend regular skin care. Think about using SPF lip products, hydrating creams with antioxidants, and nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and peptides. For optimal protection and hydration, we recommend products from SkinCeutics, which help protect your lips and slow down aging processes.
