Independent nurse prescriber Kelly Richards outlines a multi-modal approach to perioral rejuvenation
The perioral region undergoes progressive ageing due to intrinsic (chronological ageing) and extrinsic (environmental, mechanical stress) factors. These changes lead to dermal thinning, loss of ligamentous support and decreased collagen synthesis, contributing to fine lines, volume depletion and loss of definition.
This article presents a case study exploring a multi-modal approach to perioral rejuvenation, employing biostimulatory injectable treatments at varying depths to address volume depletion, tissue quality and hydration.
Perioral ageing
Facial ageing is a complex, multifactorial process driven by both intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms. Intrinsic ageing, or chronological ageing, is genetically predetermined and results in progressive atrophy of the dermis due to reduced fibroblast activity, decreased collagen synthesis and diminished elastin integrity.2 This leads to thinning of…
