Commonly known as barcode lines or upper lip wrinkles, they appear as lines running from top to bottom on the lips and mouth contour.<\/p>\n<p>They have different causes and various treatments. Below we explain why they appear, what the best treatments are to eliminate them, and what results you can expect from them.<\/p>\n<h2>Causes of Upper Lip Wrinkles<\/h2>\n<p>Smokers are more likely to have wrinkles on the upper lip and around the mouth in general. The <strong>continuous inhalation gesture<\/strong> causes the lips to curve. Additionally, the nicotine and tar have harmful effects on cell life. This leads to premature aging of the lips.<\/p>\n<p>Another cause is <strong>genetic predisposition to have less collagen and elastin<\/strong>. These individuals experience the effects of aging more strongly than others because they have fewer elastic fibers. The elasticity provided by elastin and the vigor of collagen diminish in these cases. When lacking in sufficient amounts, <strong>wrinkles on the lips appear<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-97476 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mismumi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/upper-lip-wrinkles.jpg\" alt=\"upper lip wrinkles\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mismumi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/upper-lip-wrinkles.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.mismumi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/upper-lip-wrinkles-336x189.jpg 336w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" title=\"\">The third most common cause is <strong>excess sun exposure<\/strong>. Sun rays destroy the bonds of organic molecules. The more exposure, the higher the number of molecules that die. This, along with increased dehydration of the epidermis tissue, worsens the condition. Therefore, when combining these three common causes, we find relatively young individuals with a highly damaged mouth area.<\/p>\n<p>The most common causes of upper lip wrinkles are:<\/p>\n<div class=\"lstinlinebg\">\n<ul>\n<li>Smoking<\/li>\n<li>Lack of collagen<\/li>\n<li>Low elastin<\/li>\n<li>Sun exposure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Eliminating Upper Lip Wrinkles<\/h2>\n<p>Traditional methods to <a title=\"Eliminate facial wrinkles\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mismumi.com\/en\/how-to-remove-and-eliminate-wrinkles-on-the-face-and-improve-the-skin\/\">eliminate wrinkles on the face<\/a>, such as facelifts for <a title=\"Facial sagging and how to firm up facial skin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mismumi.com\/flacidez-facial-como-reafirmar-piel-cara\/\">facial sagging<\/a>, don&#8217;t work well for this type of lip wrinkles. By tightening the skin with a facelift, the perimeter and roughness of the mouth remain unchanged, so other alternatives are needed. Currently, there are <strong>2 methods that work and provide good results<\/strong> to eliminate upper lip wrinkles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fillers<\/li>\n<li>Resurfacing<\/li>\n<li>Anti-wrinkle creams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Fillers<\/h3>\n<p>Lip filling is an aesthetic treatment to <strong>combat the loss of elasticity<\/strong> due to the lack of collagen and elastin. Lip fillers are typically done with different substances, among which the following stand out:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hyaluronic acid<\/li>\n<li>Collagen<\/li>\n<li>Botox<\/li>\n<li>Autologous fat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of them work and aim for the same aesthetic effects to eliminate upper lip wrinkles. They differ in duration and final result.<\/p>\n<p>Most aesthetic clinics and associations of cosmetic surgeons recommend facial fillers to improve the appearance of skin folds. These are especially <strong>effective for upper lip wrinkles<\/strong>. Fillers can include natural substances like hyaluronic acid, collagen, or the same body fat extracted in a reduction treatment, or synthetic substances like polymer implants.<\/p>\n<p>Fillers are temporary and require maintenance after a few months. The effect then lasts for about two years. Side effects are minimal but may occasionally occur. If you&#8217;re interested, you can find <a title=\"Lip filler\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mismumi.com\/en\/hyaluronic-acid\/lip-filler\/\">all the information about lip fillers with hyaluronic acid<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Resurfacing or Laser Treatment<\/h3>\n<p>Laser technology is used to remove folds, expression marks, small spots, scars, and various types of wrinkles on the lips and face.<\/p>\n<p>Laser treatment, or resurfacing, involves a random fractional CO2 laser that works by making micro-incisions in the skin. This causes <strong>collagen to contract, destroying perioral wrinkles<\/strong> thanks to the new production of elastin and collagen. This regeneration and new tissue strengthen the skin, which is induced to have a thicker cellular matrix. This is what makes it function as a natural wrinkle filler.<\/p>\n<p>The side effects of resurfacing are redness and mild pain in the treated area. Due to the abrasion caused by the laser, it is necessary to use creams for a few days. After two weeks, it is recommended to use sunscreen to protect the area from the sun. The results are gradually visible; that is, over the first year, the wrinkles on the lips regenerate and nearly disappear. The results last approximately five years. This is one of the best treatments for the lips. In just one session, the results last long and are among the longest in anti-wrinkle treatments.<\/p>\n<h3>Anti-Wrinkle Cream for Lips<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to using treatments from aesthetic clinics such as laser or fillers for perioral wrinkles, it is very important to use anti-wrinkle creams every day.<\/p>\n<p>Choose formulas made with natural ingredients such as avocado oil and hyaluronic acid, along with Argireline (which reduces wrinkles) and Ginseng to strengthen its antioxidant properties.<\/p>\n<p>After using it, the expression signs around the mouth, the barcode lines, and perioral wrinkles are reduced by up to 30%. Thanks to its exclusive formula, low in preservatives (2 years of shelf life unopened) and high in active ingredients.<\/p>\n<\/p><aside class=\"ads\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><!-- ah_fin_articulo --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle ah-fin-articulo\" style=\"display:inline-block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9582652217436894\" data-ad-slot=\"4055871191\"><\/ins><script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); <\/script><\/aside><aside class=\"ads-relacionado\"><center><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><!-- mismumi_relacionado --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9582652217436894\" data-ad-slot=\"2966766890\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/center><\/aside><div class=\"clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perioral wrinkles are the vertical folds that appear around the mouth.
