Perioral wrinkles commonly called "barcode" are evidenced over time by the loss of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin, (among others, such as the habit of chronic smokers). They are vertical expression lines that are located around the lips and become more visible with age. This is why by injecting Hyaluronic Acid it is possible to replace the lost volume and thus soften them.
Procedure
During the treatment the patient will be as comfortable as possible and in a suitable clinical environment. Normally the area to be treated is anesthetized before proceeding with the infiltrations. Needles or cannulas can be used for this medical procedure. The treatment lasts approximately 30 min and lasts for 8 to 12 months.
Aftercare and Results
Results can be seen immediately after infiltration with Hyaluronic Acid. The areas of injection may appear "purple" and have inflammation. If this is the case, a home treatment for subsequent care will be recommended to the patient. The durability of the treatment varies between 8 months to 1 year and the rate of absorption of the product will depend on the metabolism of each patient.
