Common Causes of Thinning Lips

Close-up of a woman's lips

One day, you looked in the mirror and noticed that your lips look like they are disappearing! You’ve gone through your old photographs and there is no doubt about it; your lips used to be plumper than they are now. You’ve never been able to pucker up with a full pout like a movie star, but you used to have more fullness. You’re wondering what happened and if there is anything that you can do about it. You’re not alone when it comes to thinning lips. Consider some of the common causes that make your lips thin over the years.

Collagen Production Takes a Nosedive

A lack of collagen is one of the leading causes of lip thinning. Collagen is a substance that is naturally produced by your body. It is responsible for the elasticity of your skin throughout your body. Think of collagen as scaffolding that acts as a support system for your skin, including your lips.

When it comes to your body as a whole, you’ll notice your skin starting to droop as you get older when collagen levels drop. This is the point when your lips will start to do a disappearing act as well.

Too Much Exposure to the Sun Can Affect Your Lips

You know that sun exposure is harmful to your skin. That’s why you need to be proactive and wear sunblock. The same holds true for your lips. When you get a sunburn or spend extended amounts of time in the sun without any type of protection, it can cause the collagen in your skin to break down. Your lips may pay the price.

You Could Have a Vitamin Deficiency

A lack of B vitamins, particularly vitamin B12, could play a role in your thinning lips. If you have noticed that your hair and skin has become oily, or your lips have become cracked, you may be lacking essential B vitamins that play an important role in your well-being.

What Can You Do About Thinning Lips?

Consider seeing our experts at Adoro Medical Spa in Severna Park about dermal fillers plump up your lips  just in case you are experiencing thinning lips. This is a safe, quick, and simple way to enhance your lips once again. If the results of the dermal fillers wear off over time, you can always come back in for another procedure. Our team of skilled professionals will help you to find the best option for you. Contact us today to schedule your consultation to learn more.
