When the mouth disappears, we lose part of our face

When the mouth disappears, part of our face disappears. Sensual, full red lips are, as we all know, a beauty ideal. They give every face important structure and a strong, distinctive expression. Unfortunately, these days we far too often concern ourselves with making full lips even fuller. In this blog article, I really want to address how we can restore or preserve the lips and the entire mouth – including the upper lip, the corners of the mouth and the chin – when they begin to disappear. Because unfortunately, that is what they do as we get older and our hormones leave us. BUT: how wonderful – this is where hyaluronic acid, peels and microdermabrasion can work real wonders.

As we age, and at the latest with the onset of menopause, our lips lose volume and moisture. They literally collapse, the skin of the lips looks more wrinkled, the red of the lips disappears inward and the contours blur. Sometimes it feels as though you only have two thin lines left in the middle of your face. At the same time, the skin of the upper lip becomes thinner and the subcutaneous fat disappears. The classic fine lines on the upper lip appear, also known as barcode lines. They further emphasize how the lips are drawn inward. The entire mouth area changes and gives us a grim, careworn expression, even though we don’t feel that way at all. And let’s be honest: at that point, getting enough sleep and “drinking plenty of water” won’t help anymore either.

A new treatment concept for restoring the mouth area

If you want to preserve or restore faces harmoniously and naturally, you should keep the entire mouth area in view. At Perfect Skin Berlin, a special treatment pattern is used in which the upper lip, the lips, the corners of the mouth and the upper chin area are treated together. There is no one-size-fits-all program – a personalized treatment plan is created for every client. It is important to get to the bottom of the many causes of aging in the mouth area.

A personalized treatment plan for every client

The following criteria are important in the assessment:

– the bony jaw, which changes with age. Bone density decreases and the facial structure becomes more hollow

– the position of the teeth

– the upper lip and jaw muscles, which become stronger with age

– the changed, partly slackened structure of the skin and the volume of the soft tissue

Everything is analyzed precisely before a personalized treatment plan is created.

At Perfect Skin Berlin, we don’t just fill – our goal is to rejuvenate the skin!

If the skin aging process has already progressed so far that deeper lines appear on the upper lip and the skin is also thicker with larger pores, we need to work with several treatment techniques. Good results are achieved with a combination treatment of special peels, microneedling and, of course, rebuilding from deep within with hyaluronic acids, i.e. fillers. The slackened and dehydrated tissue is nourished again and can gradually rebuild itself. The lips and the entire mouth reappear, and the inward-drawn lip area opens up again.

Say goodbye to a grim facial expression!

Completely natural lips without the “inflatable boat” look – it’s possible!

Due to strong facial muscles, genetic predisposition and lifestyle (e.g. sun, nicotine), the upper and lower lips – much like the eye area – are often affected by premature signs of aging and fine lines.

BEAUTIFUL LIPS, JUST LIKE THEY USED TO BE…
That’s what many of our clients wish for when they look in the mirror or at themselves in photos. Especially when smiling, the red of the lips often disappears completely. Their biggest fear about a correction is that someone close to them – a partner, neighbor or friend – will notice the treatment too much.
The big worry is having to walk around after the treatment with overcorrected, oversized, overly plump lips. It’s that “overfilled” look, typically on the lips or cheeks and sometimes on the brows or temples. Yet all too often we see celebrities and non-celebrities alike with far too much filler in their faces. We at Perfect Skin Berlin say: overfilling is so over. The goal is to give the face and lips back their volume and a natural radiance.

Naturally beautiful, not pumped up

At Perfect Skin Berlin, the lips are brought back into the right shape and fullness in a very natural way. Using a modern dynamic hyaluronic acid, Perfect Skin Berlin’s experienced aesthetic Heilpraktiker (licensed non-medical practitioners) gently restore the lost volume in just the right amounts. At the same time, the contours that have blurred over time, where lipstick starts to bleed, are restored.

Beautiful results with a range of methods

Treatment with various hyaluronic acids has the greatest effect when restoring the mouth area. However, attention must be paid to the choice of cross-linking and also to the injection technique. At Perfect Skin, at least three different hyaluronic acids are used when treating the mouth area.

At the same time, you also have to keep the surface of the skin in view. The upper lip in particular reacts to a lack of estrogen, especially after menopause, with a marked loss of elasticity. Due to insufficient circulation, this area is also less well supplied than other areas of the skin. Signs such as pale, sallow and wrinkled, slack skin become visible. When the skin becomes thinner at the dermal level, it appears to thicken at the surface. This is where microdermabrasion, microneedling and special peels work true wonders.
