Filling perioral wrinkles with fat
In aesthetic medicine, two main approaches are used to treat these wrinkles: the classic use of botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid, and a more recent approach involving the injection of fat and regenerative medicine products.
What causes perioral wrinkles?
Other factors can also contribute to the appearance of perioral wrinkles, including sun exposure, smoking, stress, poor diet, and repetitive movements of facial muscles, such as common facial expressions like smiling, laughing and talking. These repetitive movements can cause the skin to wrinkle over time, which can lead to the formation of wrinkles.
In addition, the loss of volume in subcutaneous fatty tissue that occurs with age can also contribute to the appearance of perioral wrinkles, as it can accentuate the sagging of the skin around the mouth.
The classic approach to treating perioral wrinkles combines the use of botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid. Botulinum toxin targets muscular hyperactivity, particularly of the orbicularis lipis, which is often responsible for the formation of these wrinkles. By relaxing this muscle, we prevent the formation of new wrinkles and reduce the appearance of existing ones, thus acting preventively against the deepening of wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid is used to fill in wrinkles. Thanks to its ability to retain water, it offers an immediate volumizing effect, smoothing out the perpendicular wrinkles visible at rest on red lips. Highly fluid hyaluronic acid is particularly suited to this delicate area, enabling precise filling without overcorrecting or giving an artificial appearance.
How does filling perioral wrinkles with fat work?
In addition to fat injection, a nanofat topping treatment is performed. Nanofat is rich in stem cells and growth factors, which not only fills in wrinkles but also significantly improves skin quality. This regenerative approach aims to restore the skin from within, stimulating the production of new tissue and improving the elasticity and firmness of the skin around the lips.
Results of fat treatment for perioral wrinkles
By targeting both the underlying cause of wrinkles and improving skin quality, this method offers a sustainable, natural solution for those seeking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the mouth. Unlike conventional methods, which focus primarily on filling and muscle relaxation, the regenerative approach treats the area holistically, promising both immediate and long-term results.
