Wrinkles around the mouth - that annoys! Around the eyes wrinkles are still quite nice and are called laugh lines. Around the mouth it looks different! What treatment options are there? In addition to the classic injection, which must be done very finely and carefully, there are stimulatory procedures from the field of laser medicine.
Wrinkles around the mouth are often hated, especially by women, and they are not easy to treat. Botulinum toxin is only helpful to a very limited extent and with Hyaluronic acid fillers requires a delicate touch in order not to change the important shape of the mouth.
We use - depending on depending on the findings - stimulatory procedures and add as much filler as is just necessary.
Which stimulatory procedures are available and how much downtime should one expect?
The classic method is the fractional CO2 lasersin which the skin is perforated with micro-fine holes to initiate wound healing and new collagen production. Depending on the dosage, you should expect a downtime of 4-7 days.
At Microneedling Radiofrequency, the downtime is significantly shorter at 2-3 days. This procedure also generates heat in the skin. Blood thinners should be discontinued 3-4 days beforehand if this is possible from a health perspective. The Radio frequency is inserted into the skin at three superimposed depths using very fine, isolated gold needles.
At Ultraformer - the third procedure - the epidermis remains unharmed. Everything takes place deep down. Apart from usually very slight swelling and redness, there are no external signs of the treatment. This slightly painful treatment is based on the technique of focused ultrasound and has been successfully established on the market for several years.
For microneedling and the Ultraformer, we recommend a combination with the LaseMDa very superficial fractionated thullium laser, which is used to introduce additional active ingredient serums into the skin. Alternatively PRP injections as the platelet concentrate from the blood increases the effect of the treatment.
We recommend 4-8 sessions of Healite as post-treatment to achieve optimal results.
