Perioral wrinkles in Nerja
Perioral wrinkle treatment in Nerja: we soften smoker's lines and restore definition and hydration to the lips.
What are perioral wrinkles?
Perioral wrinkles are fine lines that appear around the mouth, commonly known as ‘barcode lines’. They are usually caused by collagen loss, repetitive facial movements, ageing and factors such as smoking or sun exposure.
In aesthetic medicine, they are treated with hyaluronic acid specifically designed for fine lines, which hydrates, fills and smooths the area without adding volume. This can also be combined with treatments such as laser, peels or microneedling to improve texture and stimulate collagen production.
As well as improving the appearance of the mouth area, this treatment has a significant impact on self-esteem, as it helps soften one of the most visible signs of ageing. Many people feel that perioral wrinkles make their expression look harsher, and treating them restores a more relaxed, balanced appearance while retaining a natural look.
Benefits
Another important benefit is its preventative effect. By hydrating and revitalising the skin with hyaluronic acid, the treatment strengthens the dermal structure and slows the development of new wrinkles. This makes it an excellent option both for those who already have visible lines and for those who want to maintain younger-looking skin for longer.

How is the treatment carried out?
A fine-textured hyaluronic acid is injected into the lines around the mouth to soften them and hydrate the lip contour without adding excess volume.
Initial assessment
The doctor analyses the lines around the mouth, lip hydration and how you smile to decide how much product is needed and where.
Procedure
After applying a topical anaesthetic, a fine-textured hyaluronic acid is injected into the lines around the mouth and the lip contour, softening the 'barcode' lines without adding excess volume.
Recovery
There may be slight swelling or small bruises for one or two days. Avoid make-up on the area, heat and strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours.
Results
The lines look softer straight away and the result settles within one or two weeks. It usually lasts between 6 and 12 months.
