Smile lines also called laugh lines, are the wrinkles around the sides of the mouth. Smile lines become more visible and noticeable when we laugh.
With time, smile lines might deepen. Therefore, it is advisable to prevent this from happening. But how?
First of all, different factors are causing the smile lines. They are decreased elasticity, dehydrated skin, bad habits such as smoking, sun damage.
It is also important not to ignore genetics in terms of wrinkle formation.
Apart from leading a healthy lifestyle, there are some minimally visible treatment options to remove smile lines. It includes filler and botox injections.
Injectable fillers help fill up the smile lines. Then, they generate collagen production. Fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which means that you can get the fillers reversed whenever you feel dissatisfied with the result.
In addition to fillers, you can also consider getting Botox injections. Unlike fillers, Botox relaxes the expression muscles and blocks them temporarily. It makes the lines or wrinkles less noticeable.
Both fillers and botox do not require any downtime. Before having the procedures done, make sure that the doctor you are getting the injection from is either a specialized plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
However easy or simple the procedure might seem, it must be done by a person who is fully knowledgeable and experienced enough.
