Hello. Recently, I have been deeply concerned about the wrinkles around my mouth and the loss of elasticity that have become noticeably deeper every time I look in the mirror, so I am writing this inquiry to seek expert advice.
The expression lines around my mouth, which used to only lightly appear when I smiled, have now started leaving faint marks even when I have a neutral expression. In particular, when I take off my mask or am exposed to dry indoor environments for a long time, I feel like the skin around my mouth is losing elasticity and sagging. I am under a lot of stress because the depth of the nasolabial folds and marionette lines next to the corners of my mouth is not what it used to be when I smile, making me look older and giving off a tired impression.
I have been diligently applying anti-aging essences and firming creams at home, and consistently trying massages, but it seems insufficient to reverse the loss of elasticity that has already occurred deep within my skin. It is upsetting because on the surface, my skin looks rough due to a lack of moisture, and it appears lifeless, as if its density has decreased.
I am wondering if these wrinkles around the mouth are difficult to improve with simple home care alone, or if professional treatments such as lifting procedures or skin boosters available at a dermatology clinic or aesthetic center are necessary. I would appreciate it if you could guide me through specific care methods and recommend programs that would be most effective for restoring elasticity and reducing wrinkles in my skin condition. I know you are busy, but I would appreciate a detailed response.
