Barcode Wrinkles?

Overview

Barcode wrinkles are those fine vertical lines that form above the upper lip. These wrinkles usually appear due to natural skin aging, loss of collagen, and factors such as smoking or sun exposure. At our Aesthetic Center, we offer advanced treatments to soften these lines and restore a rejuvenated and natural look to the lip skin.

Why do I have barcode wrinkles and how can they be eliminated?

• Natural aging: Over time, collagen and elastin production decreases, causing fine lines to appear. Treatments like Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers can help soften these wrinkles and restore volume to the affected area.
• Smoking: Smoking contributes significantly to the formation of wrinkles around the lips. Quitting smoking is an important step, but to reduce current wrinkles, we recommend treatments like chemical peels or Accent Prime radiofrequency.
• Sun exposure: Excessive exposure to UV rays without adequate protection damages collagen and accelerates skin aging. Treatments like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and peels are ideal for revitalizing and improving skin texture.

What type of treatments exist to improve barcode wrinkles?

At our Aesthetic Center, we offer a variety of personalized treatments to soften barcode wrinkles and improve the overall appearance of the lips. Some of the most recommended are:

• Botox: Helps relax the muscles responsible for expression lines, softening wrinkles.
• Hyaluronic acid fillers: Replenish lost volume in the upper lip area, visibly reducing lines.
• Accent Prime Radiofrequency: Stimulates collagen production, improving skin firmness and smoothness.
• Chemical peeling: Exfoliates surface skin layers, promoting the regeneration of smoother and more uniform skin.

Do barcode wrinkles worsen over time?

Yes, if not treated, barcode wrinkles tend to deepen over time. The skin continues to lose collagen, which causes these lines to become more visible. Treatments like Radiesse or Accent Prime radiofrequency can help prevent wrinkles from becoming more pronounced.

What type of barcode wrinkles are there?

• Superficial wrinkles: These are fine lines that form in the superficial layers of the skin and are usually the first to appear.
• Deep wrinkles: Form as the skin loses more collagen and elastin, becoming more visible over time.

What results can I expect with the treatments you offer?

Results vary according to the selected treatment and the individual characteristics of each patient. Generally, you can expect a visible reduction of lines, better texture, and a more youthful appearance. Treatments like Sculptra and Radiesse offer progressive and long-lasting results, while Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers provide immediate effects. At our Aesthetic Center, we design a personalized plan to obtain the best results according to your needs.
