Lip lines anti-wrinkle injections Melbourne
Lip lines are the wrinkles that run vertically along your upper lip. While initially visible when pursing your lips, with age they become deeper and etched in.
Anti-wrinkle injections are an effective treatment in Melbourne to improve lip lines. They relax the muscle responsible for bunching of the upper lip skin (the obicularis oris muscle), softening upper lip wrinkles, and preventing deeper, more permanent lip lines.
Treatment takes 5 mins. No downtime.
Minimal discomfort. Numbing available.
Result within 1-2 weeks.

Vertical lip lines are usually treated with anti-wrinkle injections. Anti-wrinkle injections improve lip lines by relaxing the obicularis oris muscle. This reduces lips pursing that contributes to the formation of vertical lip wrinkles.
Wrinkle filler may be required to fill out deeper lip lines. This adds support to the skin, reducing the appearance of deeper lip wrinkles.
Combining anti-wrinkle injections and wrinkle filler is often the most effective way to improve lip wrinkles with cosmetic injectables.
Following your comprehensive consultation, your lips will be cleaned, and the injection sites marked.
Very small needles are then used to place anti-wrinkle product into the obicularis oris muscle beneath the lip wrinkles.

Why do we develop wrinkles on our upper lip?
Lip lines, often called smoker’s lines or barcode lines, are the vertical wrinkles that develop on your upper lip.
Lip lines are caused by skin ageing and repetitive skin bunching that occurs when pursing your lips. Skin bunching causes the skin to crease, which over time leads to the creases becoming permanent.
Smoking, sun exposure, ageing and genetics all play in role in the development of vertical lip lines as they all lead to a loss of skin collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
Fortunately, lip lines can be improved in Melbourne at Cosmetic Connection using anti-wrinkle injections. For deep lip wrinkles, it can be combined with wrinkle filler.
