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.
