Lower face anatomy requires precision assessment. You may come in wanting your lips treated but if we don’t analyse and balance surrounding skin and structures, treatment may look out of place and obvious.
This is why at Eluminate we allow extra time during consultations to listen to your aesthetic goals and create realistic, achievable long term treatment plans and outcomes, not a quick half fix.

Referring to perioral rhytids as "smoker's lines" can be misleading and stigmatising, since many patients who develop them have never smoked. An evidence-based approach focuses on the underlying anatomical and physiological changes that occur with ageing.

Why Do Perioral Rhytids Form?

Perioral rhytids are the fine vertical lines that develop around the lips. While they become more common as we age, their formation is multifactorial and reflects changes occurring at the skin, soft tissue, and muscle levels.

Several factors contribute:

• Collagen and elastin loss: Intrinsic ageing leads to a gradual decline in collagen production and elastic fiber integrity, reducing the skin's ability to resist repetitive folding.

• Repetitive muscle activity: The orbicularis oris muscle is constantly engaged during speaking, eating, drinking, and facial expression. Over time, repeated contraction can contribute to the development of etched lines in susceptible skin.

• Photoaging: Chronic ultraviolet (UV) exposure accelerates collagen degradation and elastosis, making perioral lines more prominent and often appear earlier.

• Changes in skin quality: With age, the skin becomes thinner and less hydrated, reducing its resilience and ability to recover from repeated movement.

If perioral rhytids are a concern for you, a consultation can help determine which treatment options may be most appropriate for your individual anatomy and goals.
