Peri-oral (“smokers”) lip-lines and loss of lip volume | ![]() |

Lips can be especially susceptible to the combined stresses of sun damage and hyper-dynamic muscle activity. UVA rays activate collaginase enzymes with break down collagen structure and support and result in reduced lip volume and tiny creases around the lip edge. This process is further accelerated by repeated contractions of the lip muscle. Restoring the lost volume and softening the associated lines will often reduce the appearance of age dramatically. |
