In summary: botulinum toxin for the mouth relaxes the perioral muscles to smooth the "barcode" lines around the lips caused by repeated expressions. It requires 4-8 units, results appear in 3-5 days with maximum effect at 14 days, and last 3-4 months.
Perioral lines, known as the "barcode," appear around the mouth from repeated expressions. They form when pursing the lips, smoking, or drinking through a straw, and over time these dynamic expression lines become static wrinkles that add years to your appearance.
At our clinic in Bogotá, botulinum toxin (Neuronox or Dysport) is the treatment of choice to smooth them effectively, safely, and naturally.
Dr. Tatiana Leal, aesthetic medicine doctor, uses botulinum toxin to treat the perioral area, achieving natural results that maintain smiling and speaking ability.
The treatment relaxes muscles responsible for vertical lines, allowing a more youthful and fresh appearance without looking artificial.
This is one of the most requested treatments at our Bogotá practice.
