1. CACI Lasers
Jennifer Aniston is an advocate of this one. Voted one of the best anti-ageing treatments available. Using microcurrent to stimulate and lift the tissue and improve the appearance of fine lines.
2. Botox
Widely accepted and used as an effective anti-ageing method, botox works by relaxing the muscles. It’s imperative to get a qualified practitioner as the mouth muscles are incredibly intricate and if the treatment isn’t accurate it can cause motion problems which can lead to dribbling.
3. Dermal Fillers
To smooth out the lines around the mouth, one of the most popular options is dermal fillers. These are volume-building fluids that are injected under the skin. Once the gel is injected it acts as a facial cushion to add volume and support the facial structures which would have lost elasticity during the ageing process.

The products work by encouraging collagen and elastin production with essential oils to prevent free radicals and promote cellular growth. They are also deeply hydrating which gives the skin a smoother and more supple appearance.
