Restoration and rejuvenation: redermalization of the perioral zone
Anti-aging treatments that work
The aging process of the lips is determined by the peculiarities of the anatomy and physiology of this area, as well as the increased sensitivity of the lips and perioral area to the influence of external and internal factors.
The condition of the lips and perioral zone reflects the general state of health. Color, turgor, the presence of folds and wrinkles in the perioral zone and lips can indicate the pathology of some organs and systems. The lack of subcutaneous fat tissue leads to the rapid appearance of "pouch" wrinkles and deformation of the lip contour, due to the loss of dermis volume, their "swelling" is lost. Since the skin of the lips does not have sebaceous glands, the lips begin to experience a lack of moisture faster than other parts of the face - they become dry, lose their appearance and shape. In addition, the skin of the lips does not contain pigments, therefore it is deprived of natural protection from ultraviolet radiation.
Internal aging factors begin to appear after 35 years and intensify over the years. Hormonal aging (estrogen-dependent) leads to the formation of a fine network of wrinkles around the lips, strengthening of nasolabial folds, an increase in the number of visible hairs above the upper lip, thinning, flattening and blanching of the lips themselves.
External factors of aging include, first of all, photodamage to the skin under the influence of UVA and UVB rays.
