The mouth is a key area of facial expression, a symbol of femininity and youth. Over time, the skin around the lips loses firmness and elasticity, revealing fine vertical lines called barcode lines. These small wrinkles, located on the upper lip, can give the mouth a crumpled appearance and prematurely mark the face.
The solutions

Over time, the decrease in collagen and elastin production collagen and elastin leads to a loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin around the lips. As this area is very thin, it is particularly vulnerable to skin aging.
The repeated movements of the lips, such as talking, eating, or even using a straw, continuously strain the perioral muscles, promoting the appearance of expression lines. Smoking, in addition to its oxidative effect on the skin, accentuates these wrinkles due to the repeated movement of the lips when smoking.
Other factors accelerate their appearance: sun exposure, which breaks down the skin's support fibers, as well as dehydration and loss of natural volume in the lips, which accentuate their wrinkled appearance.
At Phenicia Medical Spa, we understand these mechanisms and offer effective solutions to smooth, plump, and restore radiance and firmness to the lip contour.
