Botox Around Mouth

Did you know that the area around the mouth is one of the most wrinkle-prone parts of your face? The area around the mouth and lips is often one of the first places patients notice the development of fine lines and wrinkles.

This part of your face is also among the most memorable, and you want it to look its best.

Multiple muscles around the mouth are used for facial expressions, laughing, eating, and drinking. The repetitive movements of these muscles can create lines that disappear once the facial muscles relax. However, as you age, lines and wrinkles deepen and become more noticeable — even when facial muscles are relaxed.

Using Botox® around the mouth blocks the nerves from sending specific signals to the muscle in the treatment area. This causes the muscles to relax, creating a smoother appearance and reducing lines and wrinkles.

At The Rejuva Center at Williams in Albany, New York, we specialize in innovative, non-surgical cosmetic treatments. If you’re looking to treat lip lines and wrinkles in your mouth area, we can help. A tried-and-true treatment method, Botox® for lip lines, smile lines, and wrinkles around the mouth can help you achieve the desired look. We are trusted by patients from all over New York, including Albany, Saratoga, Clifton Park, Latham, Troy, Schenectady, and beyond.

 

Pre and Post Instructions

How Does Botox® Remove Lip Lines?

Every year, your skin loses approximately 1% of its elastin and collagen levels. These two proteins are essential for the skin to retain its plump appearance.

As the levels decline, the relatively thin skin around the mouth begins developing wrinkles. These wrinkles have many causes, including genetics, facial expressions, sun exposure, smoking, and poor nutrition.

Traditionally, the only sure way to eliminate these wrinkles completely was through invasive surgical procedures. But at The Rejuva Center in Albany, New York, we’ve had great success using non-invasive cosmetic treatments.

Botox® is a well-known brand of botulinum toxin that has been safely used to treat mild to severe wrinkles and lines since receiving approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2002. This treatment option is backed by more than 16 years of research supporting its efficacy and safety.

Botox® works below the surface of the skin to smooth lip lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscles in the treatment area, giving the skin a more youthful look. Our trained professionals use Botox® injections to help achieve the look you want in the desired treatment area.

Treating Perioral Lines with Botox®

The perioral area is located around your mouth. Perioral lines — commonly referred to as “smoker lines,” typically spread out from the border of the mouth. Perioral lines typically start out as fine lines but often become more pronounced over time. A person who has these lines may notice that it causes their lipstick bleed.

A variety of factors contribute to the formation of perioral lines, including the natural aging process. As we age, the skin’s natural levels of hyaluronic acid and collagen diminish, leading to the formation of these lines on the face.

Other factors include sun exposure and smoking, mainly because smokers often use their orbicularis orris muscle more heavily than non-smokers, resulting in an increase in perioral lines.

The Rejuva Center offers perioral Botox® treatments to help achieve a more youthful, smooth appearance in this treatment area.

The injections work by relaxing the muscles in the perioral area, reducing the appearance of these lines and wrinkles. It can help soften the appearance of existing deep lines, but it’s particularly effective in preventing perioral lines from becoming deeply etched in the skin.

Treating Marionette Lines with Botox®

Marionette lines run vertically from the corner of the mouth down to the chin. The name is a nod to the puppets that feature a spit jaw, allowing the mouth to move — imitating the act of speaking.

As we age, collagen levels naturally decrease, reducing the plumpness and elasticity in the skin. These fine lines and wrinkles happen as part of the aging process. But it can be hastened or made worse by factors like stress, poor nutrition, and long-term sun exposure — elements that further compromise elastin and collagen levels in your skin.

At The Rejuva Center in Albany, New York, we offer Botox® for marionette lines to relax your facial muscles in the area and smooth the skin to reduce the appearance of these lines. Botox® is a safe and effective treatment option at any stage of wrinkle development. But it is particularly effective in the early stages of development of marionette lines, which can begin as soon as your 20s and 30s.

We also offer a variety of Fillers to treat marionette lines. Our highly trained specialist will be able to determine the best filler to treat marionette lines after a consultation for your specific concerns or goals.

What to Expect from Lip Line & Mouth Botox® Treatment

For Botox® around the mouth treatment, you can expect to receive expert care from professionals who are passionate about what we do. The Rejuva Center at Williams operates under the direction of Dr. Edwin F. Williams, an internationally recognized, double-board certified facial plastic surgeon who has conducted cosmetic treatments and procedures for more than three decades. All our Physician Assistants, Registered Nurses, Physicians, and Nurse Practitioners undergo constant training to ensure our patients receive the best possible outcomes.

During Your Treatment

Treatment times vary, but Botox® around the mouth can be completed in as little as 30 minutes. During the treatment appointment, a specialist will prepare the treatment area, and the doctor will administer the Botox® in accordance with the treatment plan that was established during your consultation.

During the Botox® injection treatment, you may not feel anything at all, but some patients have reported that they felt a mild pinch. After your Botox® mouth treatment, you may experience mild side effects in the treatment area, including minor swelling, redness, and discomfort. You should be able to resume most of your normal activities immediately following the treatment.

After Treatment & Results

Patients may notice visible smoothing of perioral lines, marionette lines, and other lines in the treatment area within the first 24 to 48 hours after treatment. Full results are typically seen within 30 days. Those results typically last up to four months.

Because Botox® isn’t permanent, you may choose to have another treatment in the future. Whatever treatment schedule a patient decides to follow, they can expect to receive consistently excellent care, including follow-up consultations, in our private, secure setting.

The Rejuva Center’s patient experience and high-quality care have made us the go-to non-surgical cosmetic treatment practice not only in Albany, but also in nearby communities such as Clifton Park, Saratoga, Latham, Troy, and Schenectady.
