What Are The Most Popular Techniques For Treating Labiomental Creases
Injectable Fillers
Labiomental creases, those vertical lines that appear between the bottom lip and chin, can add years to your appearance and detract from your overall facial harmony. Luckily, there are effective treatments available to minimize or erase these wrinkles. Among the most popular techniques for addressing labiomental creases is the use of injectable fillers.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Injectable fillers, particularly those made with hyaluronic acid, have become a go-to solution for smoothing out labiomental creases. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that binds to water, providing volume and hydration to the skin.
When injected into the crease, these fillers plump up the area, effectively reducing the appearance of the lines. The results are often immediate and can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.
Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA)
Another popular option for treating labiomental creases is Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA). Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that provide an immediate plumping effect, PLLA works gradually.
When injected, PLLA stimulates the body’s own collagen production. Over several weeks to months, this increased collagen creates a more voluminous and smoother appearance in the labiomental crease area. The results of PLLA treatments tend to be longer-lasting than hyaluronic acid fillers, with some patients seeing improvements that can last for up to two years.
Laser Treatments
Labiomental creases, those vertical lines between the bottom lip and chin, can make a person look older and detract from their facial harmony. Luckily, several effective treatments exist to minimize or eliminate these wrinkles.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Laser Treatment
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) laser treatment is a popular option for addressing wrinkles and skin imperfections, including labiomental creases. This minimally invasive procedure uses a high-powered laser beam to remove the top layer of skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting new cell growth.
During a CO2 laser treatment, a specialized device emits precise laser beams that target specific areas of concern, such as labiomental creases. The laser energy effectively removes damaged skin cells and stimulates the production of fresh, healthy skin cells.
As the new collagen fibers form, the treated area tightens and becomes smoother, effectively reducing the appearance of wrinkles and improving the overall texture of the skin. CO2 laser treatment can also help to minimize the appearance of scars, pigmentation issues, and other skin irregularities.
Surgical Options
Labiomental creases, those vertical lines appearing between the bottom lip and chin, are a common concern that can make individuals look older and detract from their facial harmony. Fortunately, various treatments are available to minimize or eliminate these wrinkles and restore a more youthful appearance.
Labiomental Lift Surgery
Injectable fillers remain a popular choice for smoothing labiomental creases. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers instantly plump up the area, reducing the appearance of lines. Results typically last 6 to 18 months. Another option is Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), which stimulates collagen production over time, leading to longer-lasting smoother results that may persist for up to two years.
For a more aggressive approach, consider CO2 laser treatment. This minimally invasive procedure targets the top layer of skin with a high-powered laser beam, removing damaged cells and stimulating new collagen growth. This leads to tighter, smoother skin and a reduction in the appearance of creases. The benefits extend beyond wrinkles, including minimizing scars, pigmentation issues, and other skin imperfections.
Other Techniques
In addition to injectables and lasers, other techniques are gaining popularity for treating labiomental creases.
Dermal Fillers with Radiofrequency Energy
One such technique is the use of dermal fillers combined with radiofrequency energy. This approach combines the volumizing effects of fillers with the skin-tightening benefits of radiofrequency.
Radiofrequency energy works by heating the deep layers of skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin’s underlying structure. When combined with fillers, this technique can provide more dramatic and long-lasting results for addressing labiomental creases. The heat generated by the radiofrequency also helps to melt fat deposits in the area, further reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
