Many things about our bodies change as we age, but one part of your body you may not have considered in the march of time is your lips! Your lips are affected by age in unique ways.
As you age, your lips will begin to appear thinner. This is due to decreased collagen and elastin in your skin. Elastin is an extracellular matrix protein that helps regulate your lip movements and allows your lips to bounce back to their plump position. With decreased production of these two molecules in this part of your body, your lips begin to lack the subdermal structure they need to remain full.
But don't panic! As a master esthetician for over 20 years, I've seen these issues time and again, so here are my top device recommendations to slow down and even reverse some of age's effects on your lips.
Let's get right into it! I love and use each device on this list for different reasons—let me explain why.
The Skin Wand Pro is my top recommendation for an anti-aging device. It uses micro-needling to channel serums into the skin. This allows the products to penetrate and improves their overall efficacy. Microneedling is also a deep exfoliation technique, removing dead skin cells and inspiring the skin to renew faster while plumping it. This can lead to smoother skin and a more even skin tone.
The best part? This device isn't just to treat your lips. You can use the Skin Wand Pro all over your face as a sensitive treatment for the delicate skin on your face and even your neck. Because of its easy-to-use wand shape, it's ideal for home use, and it doesn't cause discomfort or downtime. That's a pretty great combination all-in-one product, I'd say!
Microneedling isn't the only method to renew the skin around your lips. The Glow Younger TriLight LED Device is one of my absolute top recommendations because of its effectiveness and overall high quality. This LED device is durable but lightweight and easy to hold.
The LED therapy from this device painlessly helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles. It works to deliver light energy into your skin in a similar way that plants get energy from the sun. Each color of the LED — red, yellow, and infrared — works independently to increase blood circulation in the skin, helping increase vitality and plumpness.
The Time Master Pro is another excellent product that uses LED along with low-frequency ultrasound and electric muscle stimulation (EMS) to tighten your skin and smooth wrinkles for an overall plumping effect. Its ultrasound waves penetrate the skin at 90,000 waves per second, currently the strongest available for the home market. These waves help to activate your skin's metabolism to regenerate skin cells.
EMS uses a micro-current to expand and contract muscles in a targeted area to help sculpt your face. Combined with LED, this three-in-one device's treatments work hard to smooth your complexion and plump your skin to give it a full, youthful look.
The MBK Eye & Lip Rejuvenator is a microcurrent device specifically geared toward some of your most sensitive features: your lips and the skin around your eyes. This product is especially useful for those with highly sensitive skin who might not be able to use a more generalized tool on extremely delicate areas. The device uses 300 amperes of microcurrent to allow products to penetrate deeper and maximize each application of your products. In addition, it can improve your skin's collagen production, boost circulation, and help reduce fine lines by firming and tightening your skin. It only takes about three minutes and can be used each day. Used with a conducting gel, this is a sensitive skin care treatment like no other.
My final device recommendation is the MBK Microdermabrasion. This device uses diamond tips to create micro abrasions across the skin. This stimulates blood flow, increases circulation, and prompts the skin to increase its collagen production. Together, these help treat your face and body for acne scarring, among numerous other skin conditions. When used on your lips, the increased production of collagen can firm up their subdermal structure and leave them looking more plump.
Devices can get you a long way, but they work best when they are combined with the right products. For the perfect needle- free lip treatments, I recommend you pick up the CBE Botanicals Lip Gloss and the HEVATOX Gold Ampoules from TOV Medical.
The CBE Botanicals Lip Gloss is a showstopper. It doesn't just work to complement your makeup, it also uses a botanical extract from the cork tree to nourish deeply. Its peptides mimic the structural components of the lips to strengthen them, and its sodium hyaluronate is a plumping agent that helps minimize wrinkles.
The HEVATOX GOLD AMPOULES work by topical lifting using PHA/AHA acids and an extract from Artemisia capillaries to detox the skin and encourage wound healing. This product is especially helpful for hives, rashes, allergies, or other skin disorders.
When it comes to the sensitive skin around your lips, you need to take great care of them with great treatments.
