Around the Mouth
There are many factors involved in the aging of the lower face. Everyone ages differently, and signs of aging in this area of the face are a result of genetics, constant movement, sun exposure, volume loss, and tissue sagging (due to volume loss).
At Barr Aesthetics, we offer a variety of services designed especially for treating signs of aging in the lower face. Here is a brief look at the lower face procedures we offer.
Skin Treatment
We perform a variety of non-invasive procedures that rejuvenate the skin in the lower face area.
Chemical Peels
Peels gently exfoliate the skin and improve mild discoloration and uneven tone. We can perform superficial, medium, or deep chemical peels.
Venus Viva
This device combines RF and microneedling to remodel collagen and tighten skin. It uses 160 tiny needles, which emit RF energy to penetrate deeper into the skin. It can help correct fine lines and uneven skin texture.
Hair Removal
We offer both waxing and laser hair removal services, giving you temporary and semipermanent treatment options.
Wrinkles & Shadows
The lines and shadows around the mouth are especially bothersome to people, as they can make one look sad or mad and are a significant sign of aging. They are created by a combination of movement, volume loss, and sun exposure and often require a combination of treatments for optimal outcome.
Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport)
Neuromodulators can be used to help prevent and smooth the lines and shadows of negative expression, including upper lip lines and muscles that pull down on the corner of mouth.
Fillers
Fillers are used to fill lines and shadows around the mouth, including vertical lip lines and marionette lines extending down from the corners of mouth. Fillers can also smooth and enhance the aesthetic contour, creating a more pleasing shape.
Lips
Fillers
Lip filler can enhance volume, improve shape, and treat wrinkles around the mouth without looking overfilled or unnatural. This can be performed with filler (such as Restylane silk) or your own fat.
Lip Lift
As we age, our upper lip lengthens, leading to less aesthetic proportions around the mouth. A subnasal lip lift (or bullhorn lip lift) shortens the length of the upper lip through an incision in the crease under the nose. This not only shortens the upper lip, creating a more aesthetic proportion, but also enhances the shape of the upper lip as well.
