Although we call them laugh lines, they are not caused by our laughter over the years. The real culprit behind, is nothing but aging. Sagging skin and wrinkles start appearing when our skin loses its natural elasticity. Something that happens when there isn’t enough collagen production.

Thanks to the advancement of technology in the cosmetic industry, there are now ways to defy skin aging. In this article, we’ll talk about the top available treatments and tips for the preventions of wrinkles.

Types Of Mouth Wrinkles:

Mouth wrinkles are called perioral wrinkles and there are three main subtypes of these perioral wrinkles which are:

Laugh lines: The wrinkles around your mouth which are prominent when you smile or laugh.

Marionette lines: The lines which appear between your upper lip and chin and give off a sagging appearance.

Lipstick lines: The wrinkles which are formed on the lip and across the upper lip due to smoking, puckering and aging.

Cause Of Mouth Wrinkles:

Our skin is made up of a fiber called collagen which keeps it firm. As we grow older the collagen in our skin naturally breaks down which is the primary cause of formation of wrinkles. Medical studies say that your skin’s collagen production decreases by 1% every year after you turn 20. The skin in areas like eye and mouth is already thinner and mostly develops wrinkles first. Genetics, along with environmental and lifestyle factors can also be the cause of wrinkles.

Treatments For Mouth Wrinkles:

A variety of methods are used to smooth out the wrinkled skin around the mouth and keep it firm. These treatments include:

Chemical peel: Discarding the layer of dry skin to uncover the smooth skin underneath.

Microneedling: As the name suggests this process uses tiny needles to form small wounds in your skin to stimulate the collagen production for healthier skin.

Botox: A neurotoxin which can be injected in the skin to relax facial muscles to remove wrinkles.

Facelift: This is a surgical process in which wrinkles are smoothed out through incisions, transfer of fat and by manipulating skin tissue and muscles.

Can Mouth Wrinkles Be Prevented?

As mentioned before wrinkles are formed due to the natural aging process but some measures can be taken to slow the creation of more fine lines in the future, which are:

  • Smoking is very harmful for your skin and should be quit.
  • Stay hydrated for healthy skin.
  • Moisturizer should be use daily.
  • Anti-aging serum and antioxidant rich foods can prove beneficial.
  • You should reduce your intake of caffeine and alcohol
  • Exfoliating your face every week can remove dead skin cells.

  • Reduce the daily stress in your life and get at least seven hours of sleep.

Stress is quite harmful to our skin health too thus, allowing yourself time to relax and rejuvenate is very important.
