Facial treatments

Lip lines (perioral wrinkles)

Barcode lines are the vertical wrinkles that appear around the mouth. They are corrected with a specific hyaluronic acid that supports the upper lip and, where helpful, with fractional laser to stimulate collagen.

Protocol

How the treatment works, step by step

A specialised medical protocol for treating perioral wrinkles (“barcode” lines). It is based on a thorough diagnosis, rigorous hygienic preparation, precise application of a specific hyaluronic acid and follow-up tailored to each patient.

  1. 01

    Medical assessment and dynamic perioral analysis

    Review of your clinical history and of muscle activity around the mouth.

  2. 02

    Preparation and antisepsis of the area

    Disinfection and preparation of the skin area to ensure maximum medical safety.

  3. 03

    Superficial microinjection of a specific hyaluronic acid

    Precise injection of a cross-linked product designed specifically for barcode lines.

  4. 04

    Post-treatment guidelines and recommendations

    Personalised instructions to ensure optimal healing and prolong the results.

What it is

These lines form because the upper layer of the skin becomes thinner and the underlying muscles are overactive. Hyaluronic acid is the treatment of choice to correct them, and we often combine it with other techniques, such as fractional laser.

Hyaluronic acid

A specific hyaluronic acid is applied to support the white lip (the skin of the upper lip) and correct the most superficial lines (blanching technique). It is a safe procedure, and all the materials used are biodegradable, which means the body absorbs them naturally.

Fractional laser

Fractional laser creates small, controlled thermal channels in the skin that stimulate collagen production in the treated area while renewing the surface of the skin.

Who it is for

For people with lines around the mouth (known as barcode lines) or whose lips have lost support and hydration.

Areas

  • The area around the mouth.
  • Lips.

The session

The session takes about 30 minutes and is done under local or topical anaesthesia. One session is usually enough.

Results

Results are immediate, with the best result at one month.

Benefits

  • Corrects lines around the mouth (barcode lines).
  • Deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin.
  • Restores support to the lips.
  • Stimulates collagen formation.
  • Hydrates the lips.
