Anatomy of the lip and why its aging and darkening with age

Lips are one of the most sensitive and dynamic parts of the face that play a key role in expressing emotions, eating and the overall beauty of the face. Understanding the anatomy of the lips and its changes with age is the basis for choosing treatment methods such as mesogel. Lips have a multi-layered structure that includes skin, muscle, connective tissue and glands. Let's get into the details.

Anatomical structure of the lip

Lips consist of two main parts: upper lip and lower lip. Each contains the following layers:

• Outer layer (skin and mucous membrane): Lip skin is thinner than other areas of the face and lacks sebaceous glands and a lot of sweating, which makes it prone to dryness and damage. The inner mucosa (vermilion border) creates the natural red color of the lips, due to the abundant blood vessels and the thin layer of the epidermis. Melanin, a natural pigment, is distributed in this layer and determines the color of the lips.
• Muscular layer: The main lip muscle, orbicularis oris, is responsible for lip movements such as smiling or kissing. This muscle cooperates with other muscle fibers such as levator labii superioris (to raise the upper lip) and depressor labii inferioris (to lower the lower lip).
• Underlying tissue: It includes fat, collagen and elastin, which provides the volume and elasticity of the lips. Natural hyaluronic acid (HA) in this layer maintains moisture.
• Vessels and Nerves: Rich blood vessels contribute to the pink-red color of the lips, but with age, decreased blood flow can cause darkening.

In Moghaddis Ardabili and Zafaranieh, where Tehran's dry weather is common, this sensitive structure is more exposed to environmental damage.

Process

Decreasing volume and fat: With age, the underlying fat pads atrophy and the lips become thinner and smoother. Studies show that after the age of 45, the thickness of the lips decreases by an average of 20-30%. This reduction blurs the vermilion border and makes the lips look droopy.

Reduction of collagen and elastin: About 1% of collagen is lost annually, which leads to vertical lines (perioral lines) and wrinkles. Less elastin reduces elasticity and loosens the lips.

Dryness and reduction of hyaluronic acid: Natural HA is reduced, causing dryness, cracking and reduced freshness. In Valenjak and Asif, where dry winds are common, this problem is aggravated.

Muscle changes: The orbicularis oris muscle becomes weaker, which turns repetitive movements (like talking) into permanent lines.

The first sign of aging is fine lines on the red lips, which indicate a loss of volume. As it continues, the lips become thinner and the "Cupid's bow" shape disappears. In the west of Tehran, such as Sadeghieh and Ferdous Boulevard, stressful lifestyle can accelerate these changes.

The causes of dark lips and the relationship with aging

Lip darkening (hyperpigmentation) is often associated with aging, but it has several reasons:

• Sun exposure: UV from the sun increases melanin production, causing age spots (solar lentigines). Lips lack protective melanin, so they darken faster.
• Smoking: Nicotine constricts blood vessels, reduces oxygenation and increases melanin, leading to darkening.
• Hormonal changes: pregnancy, menopause or birth control pills increase melanin, causing darkness (melasma-like).
• Vitamin deficiency: A deficiency in B12, iron, or C can cause dullness, along with dryness.
• Other factors: Dehydration, too much caffeine, allergies, or medications (such as antibiotics) also play a role.

Darkness intensifies with aging, decreased blood flow and increased melanin. In the Holy city of Ardabili, where the air pollution is high, these external factors have a greater effect.

Why is rejuvenation and removal of darkness necessary? These changes make the lips look tired and old, reduce self-confidence. Mesogel, with hydration and lightening without bulking, is an ideal option, especially in Zafaranieh and Ferdous Boulevard clinics.

This anatomical understanding is the basis of mesogel selection. In the following, we will examine this method in depth.

An in-depth review of the method of lip rejuvenation and removal of darkness with mesogel

Mesogel, a combination of mesotherapy and hyaluronic acid gels, is an advanced method for lip rejuvenation without increasing volume. By injecting nutrients into the middle layer of the skin (dermis), this method provides deep hydration, collagen stimulation and melanin reduction, resulting in bright, soft and young lips without deformation.

Mesogel mechanism for lips

Mesogel delivers the ingredients to a depth of 1-3 mm into the skin using microneedling or direct injection. Key ingredients:

• Hyaluronic acid (HA): deep hydration, reduction of dryness and lines.
• Vitamins (C, E): Antioxidants to reduce melanin and darkness.
• Peptides and amino acids: stimulation of collagen and elastin for firmness.
• Brightening agents: such as glutathione to reduce pigment.

For the lips, focus on the vermilion and perioral areas. The session lasts 30-45 minutes, with local anesthesia. In Moghadis Ardabili, the initial assessment is done with imaging tools.

Top brands of mesogel for lips

Comparison of mesogel with older methods for lip rejuvenation and removal of darkness

There are traditional methods such as volumizing fillers or lasers for lips, but Mesogel offers a more natural approach. Detailed comparison:

Traditional fillers (such as Juvederm for lips)

• Method: HA injection for volume.
• Advantages: immediate volume, shelf life of 6-12 months.
• Disadvantages: Unwanted volume increase, asymmetric risk, complications such as more bruising. Suitable for volume, not darkness.

Laser for dark removal (like CO2 or Q-Switched)

• Method: Melanin destruction with laser energy.
• Advantages: Effective for deep stains.
• Disadvantages: pain, downtime 7-10 days, risk of burns in dark skin. Variable durability, need for multiple sessions.

The advantages of mesogel over these methods

• Natural without volume: Focus on refreshing and brightening, not distorting.
• Minimally invasive: short session, recovery 24-48 hours.
• Safety: less side effects, combination with vitamins for nutrition.
• Cost: 3-8 million Tomans, more affordable than repetitive laser.

In Sadeghieh, mesogel is preferred due to low downtime.

Care before and after treatment with mesogel for lips

Pre-care

• Medical evaluation: 1 week prior, history review, avoidance of aspirin to prevent bruising.
• Skin: gentle wash, avoid retinol 3 days before.
• Nutrition: vitamin C, plenty of water, no alcohol for 48 hours.
• Schedule: Relaxed days, no makeup.

Aftercare

• Immediately: Freeze, avoid touching for 24 hours.
• Activity: No heavy exercise for 48 hours, sleeping with head up.
• Skin: Moisturizer, SPF 50+, no exfoliation for 2 weeks.
• Follow-up: 2 weeks later.

Lips are the only part of the face that lacks sebaceous glands to protect. This unique feature makes them one of the most sensitive and vulnerable areas against signs of aging and environmental factors. Have you looked in the mirror and noticed these unwanted changes in your lips lately?

• The margin of the lip, which was once clear and similar to Cupid's bow, is now faded and indistinct.
• Chronic dryness and flaking that won't go away even with the best lipsticks and moisturizers.
• Darkness and turbidity which destroys the natural and rosy color of the lips and induces the feeling of fatigue and lethargy to the whole face.
• Vertical fine lines that become more obvious especially with makeup and make you look older than you are.
• Loss of natural volume and drooping of the corners of the lips that show sad facial expressions.

These changes are the result of a combination of collagen and elastin reduction, chronic sun exposure, smoking, dehydration, and genetic factors. To solve these problems, many people turn to extreme and artificial volumization methods, which, although they may increase the volume in the short term, disturb the natural harmony of the face and produce an unnatural result. But there is a modern and smart solution:

Cupid's Bow (Cupid's Bow): The same beautiful and symmetrical arch above the upper lip which is considered a focal point for lip beauty.

Vermilion Border (Vermilion Border): A clear and distinct line that separates the lips from the normal skin of the face. The fading of this line is one of the clearest signs of aging.

Body of Vermilion (Vermilion): The colored and rosy part of the lip that has this special color due to the high density of blood vessels.

Philtrum Columns: Two vertical ridges between the upper lip and the nose that give it a three-dimensional shape.

Corners of the lips (Oral Commissures): The points of connection of the upper and lower lips, whose sagging induces a feeling of discomfort and frowning.

The goal of ideal rejuvenation is to restore and strengthen each of these components separately and harmoniously, not just to inject volume into the center of the lip. This is the same philosophy and art that Vida Shakiba deals with in his clinic in Maqdis Ardabili.

What is mesogel and how does it work?

Mesogel (Mesogel) or Biorevitalization (Biorevitalization) is a non-invasive and advanced method in which special compounds are injected directly into the middle layer of the skin (dermis). Unlike volumizing fillers, which are mainly composed of hyaluronic acid with high concentration and cross-links, mesogel products contain low molecular weight and uncross-linked hyaluronic acid.

Mechanism of scientific effect:

• Deep and immediate hydration: Each hyaluronic acid molecule can absorb up to 1000 equal to its own weight of water. This feature removes the inherent dryness of the lips from the root and irrigates the skin from the inside.
Stimulation of collagen and elastin synthesis: Hyaluronic acid as a matrix and scaffold activates fibroblast cells to produce new collagen and elastin. This process causes natural thickening of the lip skin, reduction of wrinkles and increase of elasticity.
• Improving the quality and color of the skin: By increasing the blood supply and nutrition of the cells, the paleness and darkness of the lips is reduced and the rosy and fresh color returns naturally.
• Redefining the lip border: By strengthening the skin around the lips, the verdi border that had faded, becomes clear and defined again.

• Mohammed, 42years old, resident of Shahran: “The fine vertical lines on my lips were bothering me, especially when speaking in business meetings, and I felt that I looked neater. Lip volume wasn't important to me, I just wanted those lines to be reduced. Dr. Shakiba explained that Mesogel does exactly that. After two sessions, the wrinkles disappeared and the skin on my lips is tighter. The result was completely natural and what I wanted."
• Yesna, 50 years old, resident of Saadat Abad: "As I got older, the edges of my lips were completely faded and when I put on makeup, the lipstick always spread.

FAQs and clear answers

1. What is the cost of lip rejuvenation with mesogel and how many sessions are needed? Usually, for the desired result, a period of 2 to 3 sessions at a distance of 4 to 6 weeks is recommended to create a cumulative effect. The exact cost will be announced after consulting and checking your specific needs. The cost of this method is quite affordable compared to the natural and basic effect it creates.

2. Are there any particular pain or side effects?
Thanks to the use of anesthetic cream, the pain is reduced to a minimum and only a mild tingling sensation may be felt. Serious side effects are rare if administered by an experienced physician. Common and temporary side effects include swelling, mild bruising, and redness at the injection site, which usually resolves within 24 to 72 hours.

3. How long does this method last?
The effect of hydration and radiance is immediate and reaches its peak in a few weeks. The effect of collagen stimulation starts with a delay and is noticeable during the following months. Generally, the results last 3 to 6 months. By conducting round stabilization sessions (for example, every 6-9 months), the achieved quality can be maintained.

4. Can I go to work after the injection?
Yes. This method does not have a specific Down Time (recovery period). You may have mild swelling that can be controlled with a little ice and usually allows you to return to your normal activities the next day. Of course, it is better to postpone the meetings to the weekend.

5. Is mesogel effective in removing darkness caused by hyperpigmentation?
Yes, this is one of its best uses. Hyaluronic acid helps to gradually brighten the area by improving blood circulation, cell nutrition and accelerating skin regeneration. Of course, in cases of very severe darkness, the doctor may include combining this method with other methods such as laser or mild peelings in the treatment plan.
