Lip Lines Treatment in Toronto

Lip lines, sometimes called smoker's lines, refer to the vertical wrinkles that develop around the edges of the upper and lower lips. They often first appear as fine creases but can deepen into more pronounced wrinkles over time. Lip lines can be:

• Dynamic: Caused by repetitive facial movements and muscle contractions when talking, eating, smoking, etc. These are seen when the face is animated.
• Static: Present even at rest because the collagen matrix under the skin has broken down. Static wrinkles remain visible when the face is relaxed.

Thankfully, there are ways to reduce the look of lip lines, and we're here to help. Our treatments at DLK on Avenue can not only make existing lines less noticeable but also help prevent new ones from forming.

How it works: Botox is an injectable for fine lines and wrinkles placed into the muscles around your mouth, which helps relax them. When these muscles relax, the skin smooths out, making those lines less noticeable.

Best for: Preventing dynamic lip lines from becoming more severe. It smooths existing fine lines.

How it works: Replace volume lost due to aging while adding subtle plumpness. Smooth static wrinkles are present even at rest. Lip fillers in Toronto are typically made of Hyaluronic Acid.

Best for: Filling in etched lines around the mouth and enhancing lip shape.

How it works: For microneedling, we use a device with tiny needles to make small holes in your skin. These tiny injuries kick your body's healing process into gear, which means more collagen and smoother skin.

Best for: Lip line reduction over several treatments. Combines well with PRP.

How it works: This treatment uses the healing power of your own blood. We take a small blood sample, process it to concentrate the platelets, and then inject it back into your skin. These platelets help your skin heal and can make it look younger.

Best for: It can help improve overall skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

How it works: IPL uses light energy to target pigment in your skin. This can help even out your skin tone and stimulate collagen production.

Best for: Great for mild to moderate skin laxity and fine lines.

Lip line treatment cost depends on the extent of wrinkling, the specific methods chosen, and the number of sessions needed. At DLK on Avenue, we offer affordable treatment packages that fit different budgets. 

There are things you can do to prevent lip lines before they start or to keep them from getting worse after treatment. Here are some tips:

• Avoid smoking and straws: Both of these activities involve repeated puckering of the lips, which can lead to lines over time. If you smoke, consider quitting. If you love using straws, try to cut back.
• Use sunscreen on your lips: Your lips need sun protection too! Use a lip balm with SPF to protect your lips from sun damage. Apply it every day, even when it's cloudy.
• Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water keeps your skin hydrated. That includes your lips, which will remain plump. Guidelines suggest a minimum of at least eight glasses of water a day.
• Regularly apply lip moisturizers: Keep your lips soft and smooth with a good lip balm or moisturizer. Apply it several times a day, especially before bed.
• Use collagen-boosting products: Look for skincare products that contain ingredients like retinol or peptides. These can help boost collagen production in your skin. Apply them around your mouth area as part of your nightly skincare routine.
