FACE
Vertical lip lines, often called "barcode lines", are among the most visible and difficult aging signs to correct. They can make the face look more worn and tired, even when the lips are well-hydrated. At IMAGE, treatments for lip lines (or "barcode lines") are based on a personalized protocol combining lip fillers, fractional laser, biorevitalization and, when indicated, lip botox to gently relax the perioral muscles. The goal is to redefine the contour, improve skin texture and achieve a natural, harmonious and refined result. An effective treatment for those seeking younger-looking lips without compromising expressiveness.

These fine lip lines that form on the upper lip are often linked to skin aging, but can be made more pronounced by factors such as smoking, dehydration, and excessive sun exposure. Fortunately, several advanced aesthetic treatments are available to reduce and prevent vertical lip lines, restoring a smoother, more youthful look to the skin.
