Lips are a central feature of facial beauty and expression, but they’re also one of the first areas to show signs of ageing and environmental damage. Common lip concerns include volume loss, fine lines around the mouth, uneven lip texture, dehydration, and thinning lips. Whether caused by natural ageing, sun exposure, or repetitive facial movement, these issues can lead to a tired or aged appearance. Addressing lip concerns is not just about aesthetics, it’s also about restoring balance, definition, and confidence. At the Institute of Dermatologists, we offer advanced, medically-led solutions tailored to rejuvenate and revitalise the delicate skin around the lips.
