Get ready to pucker up with confidence!




Understanding Lipstick Lines: Causes and Contributing Factors


Lipstick lines, also known as perioral wrinkles or smoker's lines, don't appear overnight. Several factors contribute to their development:

  • Natural aging process and loss of collagen: As we age, our skin produces less collagen and elastin, leading to decreased skin elasticity and the formation of fine lines.

  • Repetitive muscle movements: Actions like puckering lips to smoke, sipping through straws, or even pronouncing certain sounds can create repeated creases in the skin around the mouth.

  • Sun damage and environmental factors: UV rays break down collagen and elastin fibers, accelerating the aging process. Pollution and harsh weather can also contribute to skin damage.

  • Genetics and skin type: Some people are more prone to developing lipstick lines due to their genetic makeup or skin type. Fair and thin skin tends to show lines more easily.


Prevention Strategies: Protecting Your Lips from Premature Aging

While we can't stop time, we can certainly slow down its effects on our lips. Here are some expert-approved strategies to keep your pout plump and line-free:


Proper skincare routine for the lip area:

  • Use a gentle lip exfoliant once a week to remove dead skin cells

  • Apply a nourishing lip balm or serum daily, focusing on the lip contour

  • Incorporate retinol-based products to boost collagen production (consult with a skincare professional first)


Sun protection and hydration tips:

  • Always use a lip balm with SPF 30 or higher

  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day

  • Consider using a humidifier in dry environments to keep skin moisturized


Lifestyle changes to minimize repetitive movements:

  • Quit smoking or avoid pursing lips around cigarettes

  • Use a straw positioned towards the back of the mouth when drinking

  • Be mindful of facial expressions that cause repeated lip puckering


Nutrition and supplements for skin health:

  • Eat a diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and E, and omega-3 fatty acids

  • Consider collagen supplements (consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen)


DeepHaven's Innovative Lipstick Lines Treatment

At DeepHaven, we've perfected the art of treating lipstick lines with our combination therapy approach:

We use a synergistic blend of neuromodulators (like Xeomin or Daxxify) and dermal fillers to address both the muscle activity and volume loss contributing to lipstick lines.


How Xeomin and Daxxify work to relax muscles:

  • These neuromodulators temporarily relax the orbicularis oris muscle around the mouth

  • By reducing muscle activity, we minimize the repetitive movements that cause lines to form

  • Treatment is precise, maintaining natural expressions while softening lines

Benefits of dermal fillers for volume restoration:

  • Hyaluronic acid-based fillers plump up the skin, filling in existing lines

  • Fillers stimulate collagen production, improving skin quality over time

  • Results are immediate and can last for several months


Customized treatment plans for optimal results:

  • Our expert practitioners assess each client's unique facial structure and concerns

  • We tailor the combination and amount of products used to achieve natural-looking results

  • Follow-up treatments are scheduled to maintain and enhance outcomes
