Thinning Lips
What Are Thinning Lips? Thinning lips are a common concern that can make you self-conscious about your appearance. As we age, collagen production in the skin decreases, reducing the volume and definition of the lips. Other factors like smoking, sun exposure, and genetics can also contribute to thinning lips.

At IWH Medspa in Ventura, […]

Repetitive muscle movements often cause these lines, like frowning, squinting, or concentrating. Over time, the muscles in this area contract and form deep lines, even when the face is at rest. Collagen and […]
