Lip and Perioral Rejuvenation

The lips and surrounding perioral area play a central role in facial expression and youthfulness. Over time, repeated motion, sun exposure, and collagen loss can lead to fine lines, vertical “smoker’s lines,” thinning lips, and downturned corners of the mouth.

Dr. Brian Hibler in New York City uses advanced non-surgical lip and perioral rejuvenation techniques—Botox, dermal fillers, lasers, and microneedling—to refine and restore this delicate area while maintaining your natural expression and proportions.

Common Lip & Perioral Concerns

• Fine lines and wrinkles above the lip (“smoker’s lines”)
• Lip thinning and loss of definition
• Downturned corners (marionette lines) or deep nasolabial folds
• Uneven lip shape or asymmetry
• Rough texture, dullness, or brown spots from sun damage
• Overall loss of firmness and support around the mouth

Treatment Options for Lip and Perioral Rejuvenation

Botox®

• Lip Flip: Subtly relaxes the upper lip muscle to reveal more of the natural lip, enhancing shape without adding volume.
• Smoker’s Lines: Tiny doses smooth dynamic perioral wrinkles caused by repetitive puckering.

Dermal Fillers

• Lips: Hyaluronic acid fillers restore natural volume, hydration, and definition with soft, flexible movement.
• Marionette Area & Nasolabial Folds: Replace lost support to lift the corners of the mouth and smooth deeper folds.
• Perioral Lines: Light, precise filler softens fine etched lines for a smoother contour.

Microneedling

Stimulates collagen and elastin to refine texture, reduce fine lines, and rejuvenate the skin’s surface around the lips.

CO₂ Laser Resurfacing

A fractional ablative laser that removes damaged skin and stimulates new collagen, dramatically improving deep lines, wrinkles, and uneven tone in the perioral region.

Fraxel® Laser

A non-ablative fractional laser ideal for treating sun damage, pigmentation, and mild texture changes around the mouth with minimal downtime.

Laser Skin Resurfacing (General)

Custom laser resurfacing plans—ablative or non-ablative—address pigmentation, texture, and fine lines to restore a smoother, more radiant perioral complexion.

Comprehensive Rejuvenation: Why Combination Therapy Works Best

True lip and perioral rejuvenation requires addressing the skin’s structure, movement, and surface quality together.

• Botox softens dynamic wrinkles
• Filler restores volume and contour
• Microneedling and lasers rebuild collagen and refine skin tone

When these modalities are combined under the guidance of a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist, results appear seamless, natural, and long-lasting.
