Patients requiring medical assistance should contact their family doctor. Previous patients requiring information regarding this announcement may contact us by email from here.

PERIORAL LIP WRINKLES

Perioral wrinkles are the fine or deep lines that occur around the mouth and lips. As we get older this area is often one of the first to develop wrinkles. Like most wrinkles on the face, sun exposure, genetics and smoking (smokers lines) are strong contributors to the development of these wrinkles.

Unfortunately these wrinkles progressively worsen with time, often making individuals look older. No matter how accepting one may be of the natural aging process, perioral wrinkles are the least tolerated.

Fortunately peri-oral wrinkles are treatable. Laser skin resurfacing offers a long-term or permanent solution following a single office procedure. Temporary treatment using Restylane is also available and immediately achieves excellent results allowing resumption of normal activities after the procedure. Note: Light chemical peels or microdermabrasion are not effective in the treatment of upper/lower lip wrinkles.

Depending on your skin and your goals Dr. Day will assist you in deciding on a treatment plan that best suits your needs. Since every patient has individual needs, Dr. Joanna Day will discuss the best option for your skin during your consultation.

Recommended treatments: Laser Skin Resurfacing (see our photos), Restylane/Collagen. Dr. Joanna Day's decade of experience in laser skin resurfacing surgeon delivers exceptional results. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like to book your consultation.
