Juvaderm - Lip Wrinkle Filler
Look at the mouth of a woman above 30years who has been a heavy chronic smoker. Chances are you will see multiple fine lines radiating outwards from the lip margin. These lip wrinkles worsen when the woman purses her lips, or if she tries to whistle, or if she puckers up for a kiss.
Problem is, they do not disappear on relaxation of the lips. The lip wrinkles are a permanent feature of her lips.
What causes these lip wrinkles? They form because of persistent repeated chronic contraction of the muscles of the lips or orbicularis oris in an effort to form a smaller aperture. This is done in order to afford a better grip on whatever is held between the lips - whether it is a sweet, a cigarette, a cigar or other similar object. The skin buckles with repeated or long term contractions of this muscle, and this results in tiny cracks or folds radiating out from the lip margin.
The disadvantage of these lip wrinkles is, of course, that they make you look older and more jaded. True, one can mask them temporarily with powder or make up, but few people ever forget how much more embarrassingly obvious the lip wrinkles become when makeup gets caked or wet.
How else, then, can one treat lip wrinkles? One can use small doses of botox in an attempt to relax the orbicularis oris. This occasionally works, the wrinkles lighten, and the effect can last up to 4 months. An overdose of botox of course may cause the lips to become totally slack and unable to close properly.
The treatment of choice is the injection of Juvaderm (also called Juvederm) in very fine lines under the lip wrinkle. Done in skilled hands the effect is instantaneous and amazing. The lip wrinkle is filled up and disappears. This effect lasts anywhere between 9 months to a year. However they can come back earlier if the person persists in actions that caused the wrinkles in the first place. Thus chronic cigarette smokers have a problem here. So, also, apparently, do ladies of the night.
