Skin aging that worsens during seasonal transitions
An effective way to care for lines around the mouth
Hello! We are Balance Lab, here to share healthy skin care methods.
As the hot weather ends and the air gradually turns cooler, when the seasonal transition brings cold winds, you may feel that your skin has become much tighter or rougher.
This can also become directly noticeable in the mirror.
In the past, it may have only felt tight or dry, but as a few more years pass, you may notice lines around the mouth or see your skin looking dry and cracking along fine lines after makeup.
At this point, there is a high chance that it is a signal that the skin’s function itself has been compromised, so you need to be especially careful and reduce skin damage.
However, once these wrinkles appear, even if you try various high-concentration anti-aging products, it is difficult to expect the damaged skin to recover quickly.
In such cases, many people look for medical methods that are suitable for the skin.
Why do lines around the mouth
keep appearing?
Wrinkles are generally caused by aging
or by exposure to ultraviolet rays.
However, because skin characteristics differ from person to person, those with thin skin may develop wrinkles more easily than others.
But aside from aging and UV exposure, wrinkles can also appear more often and more quickly when the muscles around the mouth are used a lot.
That is why there is even a saying that using a straw often can make wrinkles form more easily.
So today, we will talk in detail about how to manage wrinkles around the mouth caused by muscles with Botox, and how to manage marionette lines caused by aging with filler.

Marionette lines
Why do they appear?
Marionette lines can also be considered wrinkles that occur around the mouth, but they form for reasons different from wrinkles around the mouth caused by frequent muscle use or UV exposure.
As aging progresses, the muscles beneath the skin weaken, and the fat that has continually been pulled downward by gravity inevitably sags.
When muscle strength weakens and the fat sags, the outer skin also droops and wrinkles form; this is called marionette lines.
In such cases, because aging can cause hollowness and wrinkles, it may be necessary to apply not only Botox for the mouth area, which is used for common causes, but also marionette filler.

Are there other ways
to improve marionette lines?
First, Botox is made of botulinum toxin, which can temporarily block the release of substances that transmit signals so muscles can move.
When injected, it can reduce excessive muscle use and help improve the appearance of wrinkles.
Filler is an injection that fills in sunken or sagging areas of the skin, and a product with this same type of use is included in solutions for marionette lines.
However, not every case necessarily requires the same type of Botox for the mouth area or marionette filler.
That is why, through personalized medical consultations, a plan may be designed that includes thread lifting or mini lifting.
There are also various types of thread lifting, and the type used differs by area and by strength, so if it is thought to be needed, a personalized plan may also be necessary.
In addition, the incision range and dissection used for mini lifting may vary depending on the degree of wrinkles and sagging, so if you want help from medical procedures, Balance Lab recommends finding the method that suits you and setting up a plan through close consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has built up experience handling many cases.

For sagging around the mouth where the corners droop and wrinkles become more noticeable due to muscle or tissue sagging near the lips, Balance Lab’s marionette lifting
Up to this point, we have explained the Botox for wrinkles around the mouth, thread lifting, marionette filler, and mini lifting that may be needed for different cases, so we would also like to share another inner-beauty solution being offered at Balance Lab.
Surface wrinkles are not the only cause of aging!
You also need to lower the aging process
constantly taking place from within
in order to manage wrinkles?!
Aging does not happen only on the surface of the skin.
At first, we mentioned that muscle strength gradually weakens over time, and muscles are a layer located beneath the skin.
Because this is beneath the skin, it is something that appears on the surface after aging has already begun. So if you want improvement through anti-aging plastic surgery, you can expect longer-lasting results when you also address aging inside the body.
Therefore, at the Vita Balance Care Center of Balance Lab Plastic Surgery, an internal medicine specialist who can analyze health conditions within the body also participates in examinations and consultations, while providing customized IV therapy.
In particular, customized anti-aging IV therapy plays a role in identifying what the body is currently lacking and replenishing it, so it is important to restore depleted glutathione, another major cause of aging among the body’s components.
When glutathione and vitamin C are lacking, the immune system weakens and the aging process inevitably speeds up.
Therefore, by replenishing these as well, when you improve your appearance with the necessary methods such as Botox, filler, thread lifting, and mini lifting, you can expect the effects to last longer.
And another thing: recovery IV therapy helps with collagen production and physical recovery, so it can help increase volume in sunken areas and improve facial contours while also reducing side effects and supporting improvements toward the facial line you wanted.

Analyze sagging precisely and receive
a lifting design that fits you exactly!
If you want to improve deep lines around the mouth with Botox,
if you want to improve an older-looking impression caused by hollowness and sagging with marionette filler,
if you want to lift from aging within the skin using an anti-aging cocktail,
if you want to remove skin wrinkles with mini lifting,
then for all of these cases, you can receive detailed guidance from both a plastic surgery and internal medicine specialist in a 2:1 consultation about the current problems and the methods needed.
Because Balance Lab’s philosophy is to add beauty to health by providing systematic care and a safe process, we think it would be good for everyone to establish a plan for individualized pre-examinations and the care they need.

have lifting treatment for lines around the mouth
Today, we explained how to approach marionette lines and wrinkles around the mouth, which many people worry about, and what process may be necessary.
However, not everyone has sagging and wrinkles in exactly the same form, so a customized design is essential.
Therefore, if you want improvement, we hope you will look for a solution to your concerns at a place where you can receive direct individual care.
Balance Lab Plastic Surgery will continue to research and share various stories so that more people can safely and healthily regain their beauty and maintain it for a long time.
