laugh lines

Sagging (skin and fat)

With aging, collagen and elastin decrease and the skin loses elasticity. Loosening of the supporting ligaments and drooping of the cheek fat (möhler fat) cause the skin and fat to cover over the laugh lines, deepening the furrows and making them more prominent.

Skeletal and foundation indentations

Those who are born with a low nose (base of the nasal wings) tend to have prominent laugh lines from a young age. In addition, as the skin loses its foundation due to bone atrophy with age, the lines become dimpled, shadowy, and more noticeable.

Muscle habits (expression wrinkles)

Excessive movement of the orbicularis oris muscle and buccal muscles, such as the habit of laughing often or moving the mouth, repeatedly stresses the skin, causing grooves to settle in as wrinkles. In addition, the habit of laughing can also cause lines to be carved as expression wrinkles.

External factors and lifestyle

Photoaging from ultraviolet rays, skin damage from dryness, smoking, lack of sleep, and an unbalanced diet are also factors that worsen the appearance of lines. In addition, gravitational stress on the cheeks due to prolonged use of smartphones and skin tension caused by the habit of poking one's cheekbones can also cause deepening of the laugh lines.

Sagging (skin and fat): Skin and fat lifting and tightening

Drooping skin and fat are suitable for cosmetic treatments that seek to tighten while repositioning. Procedures that physically lift the skin and subcutaneous tissue, or that use thermal energy to tighten and improve firmness, are expected to supplement the overall support of the cheeks and reduce the appearance of lines. These procedures tend to be chosen by those seeking a natural, youthful appearance.

Skeletal and foundation indentation: volume increase in the foundation just below the laugh lines

For areas where grooves are prominent, a procedure that supplements volume to support the structure is appropriate. By injecting hyaluronic acid into the appropriate layers, shadows are softened and a natural three-dimensional effect is created around the mouth. The unique feature of this procedure is that it does not simply fill in the grooves, but rather, it adjusts them from the foundation up.

Muscle habits (expression wrinkles): relax muscle movement

When facial expressions are strong, a gentle method of regulating muscle action can be useful. Botox injections are used to relieve excessive tension around the mouth area and reduce the strain on the lines. The purpose of this procedure is to prevent the establishment of wrinkles while maintaining a natural facial expression.

External factors and lifestyle habits: Increased skin elasticity and firmness

In cases where poor skin quality is a factor, base care through injections is an option. Hyaluronic acid injections into the shallow layers of the skin support a smoother texture and reduce the appearance of lines. Skin boosters to provide moisture and firmness to the overall skin can also be helpful in the prevention of lines.

Multiple causes: Simultaneous approach to multiple causes

Depending on the condition of the laugh lines, a single procedure may not be sufficient to make a sufficient change. A combination of lifting and injectable treatments can be used to comprehensively adjust shape, volume, and skin texture. It is important to develop an individualized treatment plan for each patient.

Careful examination to determine the cause of the lines

Multiple factors contribute to the appearance of lines, including skin, fat, skeletal structure, and facial muscle movement. Therefore, in order to improve the appearance of lines, it is important to first understand what factors are causing your lines.

At Bibi Clinic, we emphasize consultation and examination by a physician. While carefully listening to your concerns about skin and contouring, we will begin by confirming the condition and sorting out the causes together. We will proceed by sharing not only your current concerns, but also your desired results. Our counseling is free of charge, so please feel free to contact us.

Customized proposals for treatment of lines according to cause

There are various options for approaching prominent lines, including injectable treatments to supplement volume, treatments aimed at improving skin texture, and treatments that work on the skin and subcutaneous tissue to tighten and lift. If you do not choose the right treatment for the individual cause of your laugh lines, you will not achieve the desired effect.

We offer a variety of line treatments according to the cause of the lines, such as injection therapy to supplement volume for lines caused by a hollow foundation, and lifting therapy for lines caused by sagging fat. We offer customized treatments for each individual, taking into consideration the burden on the body and downtime. We hope you will consider treatment for your smile lines at Bibi Clinic.

At what age should I start treatment for laugh lines?

Some causes of lines are more noticeable in younger people, and in some cases, people are consulted as early as their 20s. It is best to start when the grooves and shadows caused by the lines begin to bother you rather than your age.

How long do the results of the laugh lines treatment last?

The duration of effect depends on the treatment. For example, hyaluronic acid lasts from 6 months to 1 year, and Volnuma lasts from 3 to 6 months.

Which is the most effective treatment for laugh lines?

Which treatment is most likely to be effective depends on the cause. It is important to choose the appropriate treatment after a medical examination to determine sagging, dimpling, and muscular effects.

Can lines be eliminated by cosmetic medicine?

It can be difficult to completely eliminate lines with cosmetic medicine, but it is possible to make them less noticeable. At Bibi Clinic, we aim for natural improvement through treatment tailored to your condition.

Will hyaluronic acid injections be unnatural?

Hyaluronic acid injections into the laugh lines can be expected to produce natural-looking results by adjusting the amount and location of injections. Under the supervision of the Bianca Clinic of Japan, we offer natural injection treatments that balance the entire face.

Are there any measures to prevent the formation of lines?

Moisturizing and UV protection are basic measures to prevent laugh lines. Facial appliances, creams, and massage can also help prevent lines, but excessive friction may damage the skin. If you are concerned about the progression of the lines, consider medical care.
