LOWER FACE

Upper Lip Crease
Also called the upper lip line or philtrum crease, this subtle indentation can become more defined with age and repetitive movement.
Our treatment plans aim to preserve or promote your skin’s collagen to help you look more refreshed while maintaining natural expression. Muscle relaxing injections and regenerative treatments are an effective choice as a part of combination therapy.
Upper Lip Lines (Vertical)
Fine lines around the upper lip sometimes called “smoker’s lines” can develop with age due to repeated movement and thinning skin. These vertical lines may cause lipstick to feather or create a shadowed look.

Lip Enhancement & Restoration
As we age, lips naturally lose volume, definition and hydration due to a decline in collagen, elastin and structural support — leading to thinner, less defined lips and fine lines around the mouth.
Lip restoration with dermal fillers is designed not only to enhance fullness but also to restore natural shape, structure, and softness. For more subtle results, muscle relaxing injections can relax the muscles around the upper lip to create the appearance of extra fullness without adding volume, while regenerative polynucleotides can improve lip skin health, hydration and texture for smoother and better nourished lips.
Gummy Smile
A gummy smile occurs when a significant portion of the upper gums is visible when smiling, often due to strong muscle activity around the upper lip.
Targeted muscle relaxing injections can relax these muscles, allowing the upper lip to rest in a lower, more balanced position. The result is a softer, more harmonious smile that still feels expressive and natural.
Marionette Lines
Marionette lines, the vertical creases that extend from the corners of the mouth toward the chin, can make the lower face look tired or sad as the mouth corners turn downwards due to volume loss, sagging skin and repeated muscle activity as we get older.
Targeted muscle relaxing injections can relax the muscles that pull the mouth corners downward. Treatments using dermal fillers can restore contour and lift to support your natural facial architecture, we may recommend treating the cheek or jawline area to provide lift and support for a natural result. When combined with regenerative treatments, it can also improve skin quality and luminosity over time.
Jowls and Jawline
As we age, the skin along the lower face can soften, leading to jowls and a less defined jawline, often caused by a combination of volume loss and skin laxity.
Dermal filler can be used to reshape and strengthen the jawline, improving facial proportions and profile. For more subtle results, muscle relaxing injections can soften the muscles that pull the lower face downwards, while regenerative treatments can also improve skin quality and luminosity over time.
Chin Weakness
A recessed, or under-projected chin can impact overall facial balance, whether due to genetics or age-related changes.
Dermal filler can be used to reshape and strengthen the chin, improving facial proportions and profile. In some cases, muscle relaxing injections may also be used to relax a dimpled or overactive chin muscle, helping to smooth and refine the area.
