Causes of thin lips

When we are young, our bodies produce collagen which makes us have fuller and thicker lips. As time goes by however this production slows down or the body may produce low-quality collagen. Due to this, the lips start to show effects like becoming thinner or losing their plumpness. 

Also, it is not only the age that has an impact on our lips but also the environment. The sun can damage the skin and make it thinner. Without sunblock or protection, our lips can be affected by the UV rays. On a molecular level, these rays have a damaging impact on the skin. It causes sunburn and, if not treated promptly, skin cancer. It also destroys the collagen in our skin cells.

In simple words, the UV rays damage collagen, leaving the skin dry and wrinkled. When it affects the lips, the radiation affects the collagen and it is why the puckers turn brittle, flat, and thin.

What are the treatment options for thin lips?

If you are not happy with your thin lips, there are a few options that can help.

Fillers: Fillers are substances that can be injected into the lips to add volume and fullness. There are many different types of fillers available, and the best type for you will depend on your individual needs and goals. Fillers can help to plump thinning lips and may also be used to smooth out wrinkles around the mouth.

Fillers are made from different materials, including synthetic and natural substances. Synthetic fillers are usually synthetic polymers that are similar to hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body. These types of fillers are usually able to last longer than natural fillers. Some of the most commonly used synthetic injectable fillers include hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite poly, and L-lactic acid.
