Wrinkles around the lips

Wrinkles around the lips, often referred to as perioral wrinkles or “smoker’s lines,” are among the most common signs of skin aging that can affect your overall appearance and self-confidence. These fine lines around the mouth are caused by the natural loss of collagen, repetitive facial muscle movements, or external factors such as sunlight. At Hello Beauty Clinic, we offer modern and safe aesthetic medicine methods that help smooth out these wrinkles and restore your skin’s youthful freshness.

Causes of Wrinkles Around the Lips

Perioral wrinkles are formed due to a combination of natural aging processes and external influences. Understanding these factors is key to their prevention and effective treatment. The main causes include:

  • Collagen and elastin loss: As we age, collagen and elastin production decreases, leading to sagging skin and fine lines

  • Repetitive muscle movements: Frequent lip movements when talking, eating, or drinking through a straw can create fine lines around the mouth

  • Sun exposure: UV rays accelerate the breakdown of collagen and cause premature aging of the skin, especially in the sensitive area around the lips

  • Lifestyle: Smoking, insufficient hydration, or poor skin care can contribute to deeper wrinkles

  • Genetic factors: Skin texture and predisposition to wrinkles can vary depending on genetic predisposition

During your initial consultation, we will carefully assess the condition of your skin and lifestyle to design a solution that will precisely match your needs. This approach ensures that the treatment is not only effective, but also natural and safe.

 

Prevention of wrinkles around the lips

Prevention plays a key role in minimizing the appearance of perioral wrinkles. Although skin aging is a natural process, proper care and lifestyle can significantly slow down its manifestations. We recommend daily use of a cream with a high SPF (minimum 30) to protect the skin from harmful UV radiation, which accelerates the formation of wrinkles. Regular hydration of the skin with creams with hyaluronic acid or ceramides helps to keep the skin supple and resilient. A healthy lifestyle, including avoiding smoking, sufficient water intake and a diet rich in antioxidants such as fruits and vegetables, supports the overall vitality of the skin.

Gentle skin care is also important - use gentle cleansers and avoid aggressive peels that can irritate the sensitive area around the lips. By minimizing repetitive movements, for example, by skipping smoking, limiting the use of straws or exaggerated facial expressions, you can reduce the strain on the perioral area. These simple procedures help slow down the formation of wrinkles and keep the skin around the lips smoother and healthier. However, if wrinkles have already appeared, modern aesthetic medicine offers effective solutions that can significantly improve their appearance.

Treatment options for wrinkles around the lips

At Hello Beauty Clinic, we use advanced technologies to offer effective and safe methods for smoothing wrinkles around the lips. The most popular treatments include hyaluronic acid applications, BTX preparations and bioremodeling. Each method is designed to provide natural results with minimal discomfort.

 

Hyaluronic acid applications

Hyaluronic acid is a natural part of the human body and is valued in aesthetic medicine for its ability to hydrate the skin. When treating wrinkles around the lips, it is gently applied to the perioral area, where it fills in fine lines and restores lost volume. The result is a smoother and fresher appearance without an exaggerated effect. At our clinic, we use only high-quality fillers that provide a long-term effect lasting 6-12 months, depending on the type of preparation and individual factors. The procedure is quick, usually takes 15-30 minutes and, thanks to local anesthesia, is practically painless.

 

BTX products for wrinkle reduction

BTX products are ideal for smoothing dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements. This injection procedure temporarily relaxes the muscles in the mouth area, thereby reducing the visibility of wrinkles. The result is noticeable after just a few days and lasts for 3-6 months. Under the expert guidance of MUDr. Eva Boháčová, the BTX application is performed with the utmost care to ensure a harmonious and natural appearance of the face. This precise procedure allows you to smooth out wrinkles around the lips without an unnatural “frozen” effect, thanks to which you retain your authentic expression. This method is popular for its speed and minimal recovery.

 

Bioremodeling with hyaluronic acid

At our clinic, we offer innovative treatments such as bioremodeling, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin through the application of hyaluronic acid to specific points, thereby improving the structure and elasticity of the skin. Bioremodeling not only helps to smooth wrinkles, but also to rejuvenate the skin overall through intensive hydration. This procedure is ideal for those looking for long-term improvement in skin quality. The results are visible after a few weeks and are long-lasting.

Procedure and recovery process

Each treatment begins with a thorough consultation, during which MUDr. Eva Boháčová will carefully assess the condition of your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals and suggest the most suitable method that will guarantee natural and harmonious results. This individual approach ensures that the chosen treatment – ​​whether it is the application of hyaluronic acid, BTX or bioremodeling – will exactly match your needs and skin type. The procedures take place in the pleasant environment of our clinic in Pilsen. Thanks to the use of local anesthesia or numbing cream, the procedure is practically painless, which maximizes your comfort. The application itself usually takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the chosen technique and the extent of the treated area. The process is fast and effective.

After the procedure, slight redness, swelling or sensitivity may appear in the treated area, but these symptoms usually subside within a few hours to two days. Recovery is minimal, allowing most clients to return to normal daily activities almost immediately after the treatment. For the best results and smooth healing, we recommend that you follow these guidelines:

  • Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for 48 hours to prevent pigment changes.

  • Do not use makeup on the lip area during the first day after the procedure to allow the skin to regenerate undisturbed.

  • Limit intense physical activity, such as sports or heavy physical work, for 24 hours to minimize the risk of swelling.

  • Follow your doctor's individual skin care instructions, including the use of moisturizers or other recommended products.

These simple steps will help speed up recovery and ensure that the treatment effect is long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing. Our clinic emphasizes a pleasant environment and professional care, thanks to which you will feel comfortable and safe during the entire process.

 

Combination of treatments for better results

To achieve harmonious and comprehensive rejuvenation in the oral area, various aesthetic medicine methods can be combined, complementing each other and maximizing results. For example, BTX application, which relaxes muscles and smoothes dynamic wrinkles, can be combined with hyaluronic acid filler, which immediately fills fine lines and restores lost volume in the perioral area, ensuring a fresh and natural appearance. At the same time, bioremodeling with hyaluronic acid or polynucleotides, both applied to specific points, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which contributes to a long-term improvement in the structure and elasticity of the skin.

In addition to these methods, we also offer additional procedures that can further support the aesthetic effect. For example, hyaluronic acid lip fillers allow you to emphasize the shape and volume of the lips, giving the perioral area a sensual and youthful appearance that matches the smoothed wrinkles. Gummy smile treatment corrects excessive gum exposure when smiling, contributing to a balanced facial appearance. Another option is jawline modeling using a liquid hyaluronic acid lift, which improves facial contours and promotes an overall youthful appearance without surgical intervention.

This approach allows you to achieve natural and harmonious results that not only smooth out wrinkles around the lips, but also highlight the overall beauty of your face. During a free consultation, we will discuss all available options with you and recommend a combination of procedures that will ensure optimal and long-lasting effects, tailored to your ideas. Our clinic in Pilsen emphasizes precise execution and client comfort, so that the entire process is pleasant and the results meet your expectations.
