Share. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is an effective resurfacing procedure with the benefit of minimal downtime. It can be used on nearly all parts of the face for fine lines and wrinkles, but it works remarkably well to improve the appearance of: Vertical lines on the upper and lower lips .
MICRONEEDLING works by using hundreds/thousands of tiny needles that make micro-injuries in your skin promoting the production of collagen and new skin formation. When performed on the lips, your skin cell’s collagen and elastin production (aka skin’s healing response) goes into overdrive, filling out your lips making them firmer and plumper. The best part is there’s no bruising or downtime, so you can literally microneedle your lips in the morning before applying your fave lipstick.
Microneedling for the lips would be best on the skin above and below the upper and lower lip for smoker’s lines. The treatment hurts, so a topical numbing cream is a good idea.
