What Causes Ageing Lips?

There are several factors that contribute to aging lips including: 

Sun damage: Exposure to UV rays from the sun can cause wrinkles around the mouth area due to collagen breakdown in the skin. It is important to wear sunscreen on your face every day in order protect against further sun damage.

Smoking: Smoking cigarettes has been linked with premature aging of the skin, including around the lip area. Quitting smoking or avoiding it altogether can help reduce signs of aging such as wrinkles and dryness around the mouth region.

Genetics: Some people may be more prone than others when it comes to developing lines and wrinkles around their mouths due to genetics or family history. 

Facial Expressions: Repeated facial expressions like smiling or frowning over time can lead to fine lines forming near your lips which eventually become deeper with age if left untreated.

Aesthetic Treatments for Ageing Lips

If you’re looking for ways to restore a youthful appearance back into your lips there are various aesthetic treatments available depending on what results you would like achieve such as;

Lip Fillers: These injectable fillers work by adding volume back into areas where fat loss has occurred resulting in smoother plumper looking skin without surgery .

Fractional Laser treatment: This treatment works by using laser energy which helps stimulate new collagen production while also removing any damaged layers of skin giving an overall refreshed look.

Chemical Peels: Chemical peels use acid solutions applied directly onto targeted areas which remove dead cells from surface layer revealing brighter healthier looking skin underneath. 

Taking care of yourself both internally (eating healthy and exercising) and externally (using SPF protection and wearing sunglasses) is key when it comes preventing premature ageing especially around delicate areas like our eyes and mouth regions however if these measures have not worked then there are many effective cosmetic procedures available at Dr Paulina's clinic that could potentially give us back some lost youthfulness!
