The perioral region, or the area around the mouth, is one of the first areas of the face to show signs of aging. As a result of the changes, the perioral region can develop wrinkles, fine lines, lip lines, and other markers of aging. “Perioral rejuvenation” is a term that encompasses various treatments used to enhance the perioral area’s appearance by restoring volume, diminishing wrinkles, and redefining your smile.
There are a number of different perioral rejuvenation procedures available which includes:
- Injectable treatments.
- Laser resurfacing.
- Chemical peels.
- Microneedling.
- Fat grafting.
The specific procedure for perioral rejuvenation will vary depending on the type of treatment being performed. However, most procedures are relatively quick and easy to perform, and require little to no downtime.
Recovery from the procedure is refreshingly swift. Most patients experience minimal downtime, with redness or swelling, if any, subsiding within a few days. You can return to your daily activities with your newfound confidence within a few days, and the results will continue to improve in the weeks that follow.
