Peri-Oral Rejuvenation with Dermal Fillers: Restoring Youth Around the Smile
Dr Michelle Westcott
As we age, one of the most noticeable areas where we lose volume and develop wrinkles is around the mouth, often leading to fine lines, a downturned appearance, and thinning lips. At Nu Youth Medical Aesthetics, Dr. Michelle Westcott has a unique technique for Peri-Oral Rejuvenation using advanced dermal filler techniques to restore volume and smooth away those tell-tale signs of aging around the mouth.
What is Peri-Oral Rejuvenation?
Peri-Oral Rejuvenation refers to aesthetic treatments targeting the areas around the mouth, such as:
Nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth)
Marionette lines (lines running from the corners of the mouth down to the chin)
Lip thinning and perioral lines (also known as smoker’s lines)
These areas tend to lose structure and elasticity over time, resulting in deep wrinkles, sagging, and volume loss, which can make the face look tired or prematurely aged.
How Dermal Fillers Can Help
Dermal fillers, particularly those made of hyaluronic acid, are an excellent solution for treating peri-oral aging concerns. They provide immediate, natural-looking results by:
Restoring volume to thinning lips and smoothing out lines
Supporting the structure around the mouth to lift downturned corners and improve the overall appearance
Hydrating the skin, as hyaluronic acid draws moisture to the treated area, improving skin texture and elasticity
Dr. Michelle Westcott uses her expertise to deliver precise, natural results that complement the overall facial aesthetic. The goal is not to create an exaggerated look but to subtly enhance and rejuvenate, allowing clients to maintain an ageless, refreshed appearance.
What to Expect During the Treatment
During a consultation, Dr. Michelle will assess your facial anatomy, focusing on how volume loss has affected the area around your mouth. She’ll determine the right type of filler and placement technique to achieve optimal, long-lasting results. The treatment is typically quick and requires minimal downtime, meaning you can return to your daily activities immediately after. Typically a result above needs at least 2mls of dermal filler, with a combination of some anti-wrinkle injections to relax the muscles.
The Benefits of Peri-Oral Rejuvenation
Immediate results: You’ll notice a visible improvement right after the treatment.
Minimal discomfort: The procedure is quick and often performed with the aid of numbing agents to ensure your comfort.
Natural, youthful look: By strategically adding volume where it's needed most, the results are subtle yet transformative.
Long-lasting effects: Depending on the filler used, results can last from 6-12 months or longer.
