Lips are the most vulnerable and unprotected part of the body. Since they are always open to the gaze of all who look at them, they are obliged to be in the best “shape” every day. That is why women of all times sought to emphasize the beauty of their lips with the help of all kinds of tricks and took care to preserve them for many years. And we are not an exception, that is why we asked to understand the matter of preserving the “pernicious beauty” of the dermatologist of the highest category of the Lviv cosmetology hospital Zhanna Prykhodko.

The “barometer” of youth eventually “betrays”

– Zhanna Oleksiivna, no matter how cool it is, but lips later become a treacherous indicator of age, and therefore, they are a kind of barometer of youth?

– Lips are indeed one of the clear indicators of the age of their owner. This betrayal is involuntary, because the lips are highly sensitive to the influence of external and internal factors: heat (the sun with its harmful rays, dry air), dampness and cold (rain, snow, frost). Add to this adverse environmental factors; daily temperature changes when eating (from coffee to ice cream); unbalanced diet; bad habits such as smoking and excessive doses of alcohol; nervous stress; improper or low-quality cosmetology care; as well as kisses addressed to owners of three-day stubble.Obvious signs of chronoaging appear at the age of 35-40.

– And what are these signs?

– Such specialists include pronounced nasolabial folds, “bitterness folds”, “pouch” wrinkles around the lips (by the way, their early manifestation indicates disorders in the genitourinary sphere) and sagging of the corners of the lips (“puppet” wrinkles).Then another enemy of internal importance is connected – hormonal aging. It occurs against the background of menopause and is associated with a gradual decrease in the level of the female hormone estrogen in the blood.Gradually, the color of the lips fades, they lose their former elasticity, a network of small wrinkles forms around them, and the number of almost imperceptible and now clearly visible hairs increases above the upper lip. These alarming signs give rise to an irresistible desire to turn back time.

– Yes, but has this wish come true?

-Unfortunately, this wish cannot be fulfilled yet. But it is possible to stop and soften the withering process. Fortunately, the positive experience that dermatologists and cosmetologists rely on dates back thousands of years. It is all the more interesting to observe how “grandmother’s recipes” are transformed in modern high-tech conditions.For example, the usual lip massage, which was done with a wet toothbrush even in the last century, has now become the “grandfather” of vacuum and ultrasonic massage. And the usual natural ingredients of nourishing lip masks (for example, honey, cucumber or carrot juice, vegetable oils) are now being actively introduced into the composition of shop cosmetics for lip care.Prickly procedures

– Zhanna Oleksiivna, what is mesotherapy?

– Under the motto “Stop frowning!” mesotherapy works – a low-traumatic injection procedure that allows you to avoid a large chemical load on the body due to the intradermal injection of microdoses of medicinal (alopathic or homeopathic) drugs.Cosmetologists prefer extracts of medicinal plants and preparations from natural micro- and macroelements. Such injections are used both in their pure form and in the form of various cocktails.Mesotherapy is successfully used to eliminate signs of age-related changes in the skin around the lips. It is prescribed in mini-courses (most often once every 7-14 days). And the maintenance course should be conducted once every three months or once every six months.

– And what kind of therapy works in the “sponge with a bow” style?

– Injection correction has its influence here. It helps to restore the youthful swelling of the lips. Most often, it is carried out with the help of artificially synthesized hyaluronic acid preparations or natural fillers made from “native fat”.

– But all these “lip jokes” are quite traumatic and you still have to dare to sacrifice yourself to this beauty.

– Undoubtedly, you have to be patient. So, for example, those women who decided to resort to “filling” surgery for the first time should remember that hematomas may form after liposuction in places where fat is collected, and point scars may remain after the healing of these punctures.After all, lip fillers are especially valued not only for their “natural appearance”, but also for the happy property of being easy and natural to take root in those cases, if the material was correctly “collected” during liposuction, underwent special cleaning, and then precisely and purposefully introduced.Before such a “lip procedure”, a blockade of nerve endings must be performed. A linear injection technique is used to smooth out wrinkles or nasolabial folds. Sometimes the procedure is a combination of different techniques. To maintain the “bow” effect, the procedure must be repeated periodically.It all depends on what type of filler is used: in some cases, the magical swelling lasts for 8-10 months, and in others – from one and a half to two years.We draw a stable contour

– Now women also use such a “thorny” service as lip contour tattooing. What gives?

– Such a “spiky” drawing allows not only to visually enlarge the lips. But also to form their correct contour, and if necessary, to correct its slight asymmetry.

– And how does it happen?

– With the help of a special tattoo machine, hypoallergenic paint (on a vegetable or mineral basis) is carefully introduced inside the contour of the lips to a depth of about 1 mm. But to begin with, the master must make a preliminary contour drawing on the lips with a pencil. If the client likes the shape of the lips, you can apply anesthesia and start hardware “painting”.

– And what are the contraindications for all these prickly procedures?

– Pathological fear of injections, individual intolerance of the injected agent, skin tendency to form colloid scars, pregnancy, herpes, bronchial asthma, diabetes, inflammation of the trigeminal nerve, skin diseases, blood diseases, epilepsy. So you have to answer the question of what to choose yourself.
