Skin Pen Treatment for Lip Wrinkles (Perioral Lines)
What It Is
Skin Pen treatment is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that targets fine lines and wrinkles around the lips. It uses a controlled fibroblast device to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production, which are essential for smoother, firmer, and more youthful looking skin.
How the Treatment Works
1. Consultation
• Assessment of the lip area to determine wrinkle depth and skin suitability.
• Medical history review to ensure safety.
2. Preparation
• The skin is cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort.
• Protective measures are taken for sensitive areas around the lips.
3. Skin Pen Application
• The device creates tiny controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface.
• This triggers immediate skin contraction and long-term collagen and elastin production.
• Ideal for smoker lines, vertical lip lines, and fine perioral wrinkles.
4. Duration
• Typically 30–45 minutes per session for the lips and surrounding area.
Immediate Effects
• Mild redness and swelling immediately after treatment.
• Tiny marks may appear where the Skin Pen was applied; these naturally heal in 5–7 days.
• Some instant tightening may be visible, but most improvement develops over 4–8 weeks.
Long-Term Results
• Fine lines: Softer or significantly reduced.
• Lip contour: Firmer and more defined.
• Skin texture: Smoother with improved elasticity.
• Collagen stimulation: Continues to improve results for up to 3 months.
• Longevity: Effects typically last 1–3 years, depending on skin type, age, and lifestyle.
Advantages
• Non-invasive, no cutting or sutures.
• Minimal downtime compared to surgical options.
• Natural-looking results that enhance skin quality without adding volume.
• Can be combined with other treatments (e.g., dermal fillers or chemical peels) for enhanced results.
Limitations & Considerations
• Not a volumizing treatment; deep wrinkles or lost lip volume may need fillers.
• Multiple sessions may be needed for more severe wrinkles.
• Temporary redness, swelling, and tiny micro-injuries are normal.
• Proper aftercare, moisturizing, sun protection, and gentle cleansing, is crucial to avoid pigmentation or scarring.
