THIN LIPS

WHAT ARE THIN LIPS?
Thin lips are a common occurrence, happening from birth or through age as the structure of the face changes. This is due to a loss of collagen in the skin and the tiring of muscles, which may cause the lips to lose their full shape. This can also lead to wrinkles forming around the mouth.
WHAT CAUSES THINNING LIPS?
- Collagen reduction in the skin
- Genetics
- Sun damage effecting the level of collagen production
- Vitamin deficiency e.g. vitamin B12
HOW CAN THIN LIPS BE TREATED?
Lip enhancements and fillers
Lip fillers are a popular method of retaining the natural look of lips because the treatment is long-lasting and provides a more youthful appearance.
There are various types of lip filler options, with the most common being hyaluronic acid. A natural substance in the body, hyaluronic acid hydrates lips, makes them fuller and fills out wrinkles. In addition, lip fillers help to sculpt the entirety of the lip boarders and provide added volume.
Another benefit of lip fillers is that they are non-intrusive and patients can continue to go about their daily routine after the procedure. Depending on your preferences, you can have them injected over more than one session until the desired results are achieved.
Topical cream
Another treatment for thin lips is to use certain topical cream medications that contain retinoids, which help to create a plumper appearance in the mouth.
We’d recommend that you be careful with the amount of retinoid cream that you apply as it may cause dryness. If you’re unsure of the right amount, then consult a qualified cosmetic professional to see if it’s the right treatment for you.
Exfoliation
For those who prefer a non-surgical approach to thin lip treatment, it may be worth purchasing exfoliation products that can hydrate the lips and increase the overall vitality. This could be a gel that contains hyaluronic acid and be applied regularly to maintain shiny, healthy lips.
