Question 1

Why do vertical wrinkles appear around the lips (barcode lines)?

Accepted Answer

Vertical perioral wrinkles, or "barcode lines," result from collagen and elastin loss, repetitive movements of the orbicularis muscles when speaking and smiling, and cumulative sun exposure. The skin around the lips is very thin and sensitive, which accelerates aging. Smoking and dehydration also intensify these expression lines.

Question 2

What treatments does Santé offer to eliminate barcode lines?

Accepted Answer

At Santé, we combine next-generation hyaluronic acid for the lips to restore volume and smooth lines with rejuvenating laser that stimulates new collagen in the dermis. This dual protocol works by both filling and regenerating skin, achieving natural and lasting results without invasive procedures.

Question 3

How many sessions do I need and when will I see results?

Accepted Answer

With hyaluronic acid for the lips, results are immediate and visible after the first session. Rejuvenating laser typically requires 3-4 monthly sessions for maximum regeneration. Progressive improvement continues for 2-3 months post-treatment. We recommend annual maintenance to preserve benefits.

Question 4

Does it hurt? Do I need to miss work? At what age can I do it?

Accepted Answer

Both treatments are well-tolerated with topical anesthesia. Downtime is minimal: possible mild redness for 24-48 hours. You can resume normal activities immediately. It's recommended from age 35-40 onward, though it depends on each case. There are no relevant contraindications if your skin is healthy. Consult our team for personalized pricing.
