restore lip volume and definition
Lip enhancement treatments can help treat the effects of aging. As we know, aging has a significant effect on the lips, leading to noticeable changes in volume, shape, and texture. Over time, the body produces less collagen and hyaluronic acid, which are essential for maintaining plump, hydrated lips. As a result, the lips begin to lose volume, becoming thinner and flatter. This can make the lips appear less defined, and the once prominent cupid’s bow can fade.
In addition to volume loss, the lips may develop fine lines, commonly known as “lipstick lines” or “smoker’s lines,” which are vertical wrinkles around the mouth. These lines form as the skin loses elasticity, and they can become more prominent with repeated facial expressions or habits like smoking or drinking from straws.
Aging also affects the lip borders, particularly the vermillion border, which can blur over time, reducing the crispness of the lip outline. This may cause lipstick to feather and further highlight fine lines. Additionally, the natural downturning of the corners of the mouth can create a sad or tired appearance.
Personalised lip enhancement treatments
As we age, natural processes such as collagen depletion and a decrease in skin elasticity can contribute to the loss of volume and definition in the lips. At Cairns Aesthetic Doctor, we offer consultations for non-surgical treatments for lip enhancement to address concerns such lack of definition or asymmetry.
