All About Lips in Portland & Lake Oswego
As we age, fine lines, wrinkles, and thinning lips can occur due to volume loss, causing our features to sag and droop. Smoking and sun exposure can also accelerate aging around the mouth. Fortunately, innovative cosmetic treatments can help restore a more youthful appearance to the lips and perioral area.
Dr. Elisa Burgess often recommends combining treatments for the best results. For example, patients with deep wrinkles and volume loss may begin with SmartSkin to resurface the skin, followed by Lip Ultherapy and ThermiSmooth to tighten and lift, and finish with dermal fillers to restore volume and smooth wrinkles, creating a more refined, youthful look.

Treatment Options
Fillers
Filler can improve the lips by adding volume, enhancing shape, and defining the lip borders. It smooths out fine lines around the lips and restores youthful fullness, creating a plumper, more balanced appearance. Fillers can also correct asymmetry and provide subtle contouring, resulting in a natural-looking enhancement.
Ultherapy®
Ultherapy for the lips is beneficial because it uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, tightening and lifting the skin around the lips. This non-invasive treatment helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly in the perioral area, while also improving lip definition and contour. Over time, Ultherapy enhances lip shape and firmness, creating a more youthful, natural look without the need for fillers.
NuEra Tight®
NuEra Tight can improve the lips by using radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin around the lip area. This non-invasive treatment helps smooth out fine lines, reduce sagging, and enhance the definition of the lip contours. Over time, it can create a more youthful, lifted appearance, particularly around the perioral area, without the need for injections or surgery.
SmartSkin™
SmartSkin CO2 can improve the lips by resurfacing the skin and stimulating collagen production through fractional laser technology. It helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the lips, smooths texture, and enhances lip definition. This treatment also promotes skin tightening, which can restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance to the lip area.
SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen microneedling can improve the lips by stimulating collagen production through tiny, controlled needle punctures in the skin. This helps smooth fine lines around the lips, enhance lip texture, and restore volume. Over time, the treatment promotes a plumper, more youthful appearance by encouraging skin rejuvenation in the lip area.
