Thin Lips & Lipstick Lines
Your perfect solution
Have you noticed your lips looking a little thinner than they used to? Or your lipstick starting to bleed into tiny lines around your mouth? These changes happen slowly, as the lips lose moisture and volume and the skin around the mouth loses collagen.
At Willow Skin Therapy, we don't do big, overfilled lips. We focus on hydrating, gently plumping, and softening the lines around your mouth, so your lips look smooth, healthy, and like you.
Here's how we help:
-
A small amount of soft hyaluronic acid filler adds hydration and gentle fullness, so thinning lips look healthy and smooth again. The goal isn't bigger lips. It's lips that look like yours did a few years ago.
-
A very fine filler is placed directly into the vertical lines around the mouth, softening them so lipstick stays where you put it.
-
A few units of neurotoxin relax the muscle you use to purse your lips. This softens lines caused by movement, like sipping through a straw, and lets the upper lip relax slightly outward.
-
Fine dissolvable threads are placed just under the skin around the mouth. As they dissolve, they stimulate your body to build new collagen, gradually smoothing lines and improving firmness over several months.
-
Microneedling around the mouth activates your skin's natural repair process to build collagen, softening fine lines and improving texture over a series of treatments.
-
This two-step treatment uses stem cell factors to refresh tone and texture, with visible improvement in fine lines and no peeling.
-
A relaxing 15-minute session that supports collagen production and helps your skin recover after other treatments.
Frequently asked questions
-
No. We don't do big or overfilled lips. Our goal is hydrated, softly plumped lips and smoother lines, so you look refreshed, not "done."
-
It depends on what bothers you most. Thinning lips usually respond best to gentle filler, and lipstick lines often improve most with a combination, such as filler, lip tox, threads, or microneedling. We'll build your plan together during your consultation.
-
Filler typically lasts 6 to 12 months, and lip tox about 3 months. Threads and microneedling build your own collagen, so those results develop gradually and last longer.
-
We use numbing cream for injectable and thread treatments, so most patients feel pressure and mild pinching rather than pain. For lip treatments, we can also offer a dental block, the same numbing your dentist uses, for extra comfort.
-
Mild swelling or bruising can last a few days. If you have a special event, plan your treatment at least 2 weeks ahead.
-
Our filler is hyaluronic acid, so it can be dissolved if needed.
