Welcome to the Lip Rejuvenation Website
Like our hands, our lips can often be a very ageing feature. Full lips are a sign of our youth and fertility and as we grow older they can lose their ‘plumpness’ and shape. They will naturally become thinner and can often appear dehydrated due to permanently being exposed to the elements. All these factors can make the mouth appear smaller, less attractive and even make the application of lipstick more difficult!
Why do the lips become smaller and more dehydrated?
The reason our lips lose volume is due to the gradual depletion of a natural substance found in them called ‘hyaluronic acid’. This substance is found in all human skin and makes it feel soft and thick. From our late 20s onwards, the volumes of hyaluronic acid decrease which is why our lips become less ‘full’ and hydrated and become thinner and more wrinkled. The loss of Hyaluronic Acid can be further accelerated by lifestyle choices such as sunbathing and smoking.
