Fine lines around the mouth are often among the first signs of aging patients notice, particularly when applying lipstick or looking closely in natural light.

Smooth the Details Around Your Smile

The skin surrounding the mouth moves constantly, which makes it especially prone to the fine vertical lines and textural changes that develop with age and sun exposure. Dr. Tommaso Addona offers perioral laser treatment as a targeted solution for this specific area, using precise laser energy to smooth texture and soften lines without treating the entire face. Ask Dr. Addona whether targeted perioral laser treatment can smooth the fine lines around your mouth.

What Is Perioral Laser Treatment?

Perioral laser treatment uses focused laser energy to resurface the skin surrounding the mouth, addressing fine vertical lip lines, textural irregularities, and mild sun damage in this specific area. Because the mouth moves almost constantly throughout the day, this region often develops fine lines earlier and more noticeably than other parts of the face.

Dr. Addona calibrates the laser depth specifically for the delicate skin around the lips, removing damaged surface layers while stimulating collagen production beneath. This targeted approach allows for meaningful improvement in a concentrated area without the broader downtime associated with treating the entire face.

Perioral laser treatment is often chosen by patients who are otherwise satisfied with their overall facial appearance but are specifically bothered by lines around the mouth, and it pairs well with a lip lift or injectables for patients seeking more comprehensive rejuvenation of this area.

Benefits of Perioral Laser Treatment

Perioral laser treatment offers a focused approach to a common and specific concern, with benefits that include:

Smoother skin texture around the mouth
Reduction of fine vertical lip lines
Improvement in localized sun damage around the mouth
Stimulated collagen production for longer-term skin quality benefits
A more concentrated treatment with less downtime than full face laser
A treatment that pairs well with lip lift surgery or injectables

Are You a Candidate for Perioral Laser Treatment?

Ideal candidates are adults primarily bothered by fine lines, textural changes, or sun damage specifically around the mouth, rather than concerns affecting the entire face. This treatment is well suited to patients who want a targeted improvement without the recovery time associated with resurfacing the full face.

Patients with more significant lip line concerns, particularly those related to volume loss in the upper lip, may benefit from combining this treatment with a lip lift or injectables. During your consultation, Dr. Addona will evaluate the specific concerns in this area and recommend the appropriate laser intensity for your skin and goals.

What to Expect During Your Perioral Laser Procedure

A consultation prior to treatment allows Dr. Addona to assess the skin around your mouth and determine the appropriate laser settings for your specific concerns.

The Treatment

Perioral laser treatment is typically performed under topical numbing and usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes, given the smaller, targeted treatment area. The laser is passed carefully across the skin surrounding the mouth, removing damaged surface layers while heating deeper tissue to stimulate collagen renewal.

Because this area is more limited in scope than a full face treatment, sessions tend to be brief and are often incorporated into a broader treatment plan alongside other facial procedures.

After Treatment

Patients return home the same day with clear aftercare instructions for the treated area. Dr. Addona remains personally accessible throughout the short healing process that follows.

Recovery & Results After Perioral Laser Treatment

Recovery from perioral laser treatment is generally brief given the smaller treatment area involved.

The First Week

The treated skin typically appears pink and feels tight initially, with some light peeling expected within the first several days as the outer layer of damaged skin sheds.

The Weeks That Follow

New skin continues to settle over the following one to two weeks, with redness gradually fading as normal makeup application resumes comfortably.

Long-Term Results

Continued collagen production leads to further smoothing of the treated area over the following months, with the most refined texture and lip line improvement becoming apparent within this longer timeframe.

Why Choose Dr. Addona?

Precision matters most in smaller, more delicate treatment areas, and Dr. Addona brings the same exacting technique to perioral laser treatment that defines his broader facial work. He personally evaluates and calibrates each treatment based on individual skin type and concern, ensuring a focused, natural improvement around the mouth.

Perioral Laser Treatment Frequently Asked Questions

How is perioral laser treatment different from full face laser treatment?

Perioral treatment targets only the area surrounding the mouth, offering a more focused correction with a shorter treatment time and recovery period than resurfacing the entire face.

Will perioral laser treatment eliminate all lines around my mouth?

Most patients see significant improvement in fine lines and texture, though the degree of correction depends on the severity of lines and the laser intensity selected during your consultation.

Is perioral laser treatment painful?

Discomfort is generally well managed with topical numbing, and while the treated skin feels tight and sensitive afterward, most patients tolerate the process comfortably.

How long does recovery take after perioral laser treatment?

Most patients experience visible peeling and redness for about a week, with the treated area fully settled within one to two additional weeks.

Can perioral laser treatment be combined with a lip lift or injectables?

Yes. It is frequently paired with a lip lift or injectable treatments for patients seeking more comprehensive rejuvenation of the lips and surrounding area.

How often should perioral laser treatment be repeated?

This depends on the intensity of treatment used and your individual skin goals, which Dr. Addona will discuss and outline as part of your personalized treatment plan.
