purse-string wrinkles: how to get rid of wrinkles

Laughing without consequences on the skin is allowed!

Small wrinkles in the area around the mouth are called “harris tweed purse” because they look like a pouch drawn in by a cord, “pouch”. Many women are often complex because of these “vital marks” on the face, which are a simple consequence of age-related changes in the skin. We laugh, sad, worry – no matter how we show our emotions, develop facial expressions, it is impossible to stop the physiological process of aging. Still aggravated by the wrong lifestyle, bad ecology, and stress that accompanies us everywhere. Despite all these problems, you can still correct the area of the lips. The head doctor of the GG beauty clinic, MD, Ph.D., told us about purse-string wrinkles and how to deal with them. Elena Goltsova.

“Periodic or purse-string wrinkles are fine surface wrinkles located perpendicular to the red border of the lips, which, under the influence of aging processes, can transform into deep creases,” Dr. Goltsova.

THE REASONS FOR THE ARRIVAL OF “PURSE-STRING WRINKLES”:

Increased activity of the circular muscles of the mouth: active facial expressions, the manifestation of emotions. This entire first leads to the formation of dynamic-facial wrinkles, and in the future – static-facial wrinkles, which are preserved even in the complete absence of facial movements;
Excessive insolation – the negative impact of solar radiation;
Hormonal changes, for example, manifested in women during menopause;
Slowing down the process of skin renewal;
Dehydration of the skin and other factors of age-related changes.

TREATMENT METHODS:

Botulinum Therapy. The procedure is used to prevent and treat wrinkle formation with hyperactivity of the circular muscle of the mouth, and reduce the risk of purse-string wrinkles in the future. The delicate, anatomically verified administration of small doses of the drug can reduce the hyperactivity of the circular muscles of the mouth, smooth out wrinkles and at the same time preserve the natural facial expressions;
Blanching technique. Technically, this means introducing a filler with hyaluronic acid into the upper layers of the skin to correct surface wrinkles, and even out skin texture. Using the lip contour with this method allows you to smooth wrinkles around the mouth. The result is a smooth skin texture, significant or complete elimination of wrinkles.
Bio revitalization. To improve metabolic processes, moisturize and elasticize the skin, prevent and treat wrinkles, regular bio revitalization procedures, injections of drugs with amino acids, peptides are necessary;
Non-ablative laser therapy (without damage and rehabilitation period). The procedure is aimed at eliminating age-related changes in the face, increasing skin tone, including the area around the mouth. You can also try to undergo a photo-rejuvenation procedure – BBL (Broadband Light), which will adjust the tone of the face and update skin cells;
Fractional laser resurfacing peels. To reduce the hyperkeratosis of the area around the mouth, thicken the epidermis, and update the skin cells, these procedures are required.
