What Causes Wrinkles & Lines Around the Mouth?

The skin around the mouth is very thin, meaning it has less collagen than other areas. As a person ages, collagen production drops, causing the skin to become less elastic. As repetitive facial expressions are performed, the skin can develop lines and wrinkles around the mouth area.

In addition to the natural ageing process, other causes of mouth lines and wrinkles can include:

• Genetics
• The general ageing process
• Poor diet
• Stress
• Dehydration
• Sun damage
• Smoking

Types of Wrinkles That Can Develop Around the Mouth

There are three types of wrinkles around the mouth that are most commonly experienced. These types of wrinkles and lines include:

• Smile lines – Smile lines around the mouth, also known as laugh lines, are lines that develop at the sides of the mouth. As their name suggests, they become more apparent when smiling or laughing.
• Lipstick lines – Lipstick lines, also known as smoker’s lines, are vertical lines that can appear on the lips and upper lip area. They’re commonly experienced by smokers due to the strain smoking puts on the mouth, but they can also appear as a result of other factors such as ageing and genetics.
• Marionette lines – Marionette lines appear as vertical lines that extend from the mouth to the chin, giving the appearance of sagging.

Available Treatments

At The Greville Clinic, we offer two effective options for wrinkle treatments around the mouth: anti-wrinkle injections and fillers for around the mouth. Find out more about each option below.

Dermal Fillers for Mouth Lines

Dermal fillers for mouth lines can be used to plump up the skin, reducing lines while improving hydration. They involve injecting a gel-like substance that binds to water molecules within the skin. Dermal fillers are suitable for treating lipstick / smoker’s lines as well as smile lines and marionette lines.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections Around the Mouth

Anti-wrinkle injections are a suitable treatment to remove deep wrinkles around the mouth. They work by relaxing the overactive muscles responsible for forming certain wrinkles or creases, reducing their appearance. Anti-wrinkle injections around the mouth can provide results for up to 3-6 months.
