Barcode
As its name suggests, a barcode is the multitude of ultra-fine lines invariably printed on supermarket packaging, for example. There are thousands of different bar codes and all of them are used to store and transmit data.
Yet, one of them is particularly annoying: the one found above the upper lip – especially on women, and often on smokers! These wrinkles above the upper lip are more or less accentuated, depending on lifestyle.
To overcome this, several combinations of tailor-made techniques are possible. Taking into account, of course, the specificities of each profile and combining injections of specific hyaluronic acids, botox, focused ultrasound and radio frequencies, the doctor manages to target the causes of the apparition of this barcode.
Each session begins with a careful diagnostic examination by the doctor assessing the characteristics of your skin and face: sagging, wrinkles and areas to be treated.
Once the diagnosis is established, the treatment is settled upon, fruit of an exchange between the doctor and the patient. Once consent is given, the medical assistant proceeds with an antiseptic cleansing of the skin and the application of an anesthetic cream to make the treatment comfortable. Local anesthesia can be performed according to the techniques used. The goal is to provide you with optimum comfort.
At the end of the treatment, the assistant evenly applies a refreshing hydrating mask with hyaluronic acid to soothe the treated skin for 5 minutes. A restorative cream is applied with an airbrush. A light make-up, fixed by a protective mist, completes the session and allows the patient to continue the normal course of their day. No hiding awat. The show must go on.
Possible side effects such as bruising or slight swelling may appear but are transient (a few days maximum). They are easily camouflaged with a little makeup.
The barcode is a typical cutaneous sign found in smokers: the repeated pursing of the mouth around the cigarette accelerates fine line apparition. History shows us once again that equality remains to be achieved: thanks to their upper lip hairs, which protect them from these specific lines, men dodge yet another bullet.
