What is Lip Pigmentation?
Laser lip lightening is an excellent non-invasive treatment that reduces the darkness in the lips. The procedure is pretty simple. Your dermatologist will use unique nanosecond laser equipment to exfoliate the top layer of your lips. The procedures will encourage newer and lighter layers of skin to appear. It is a pain-free process. However, you may feel a slight sensation on your lip. These laser beams further boost collagen to revitalize the lip skin and give them a natural color. Before you opt for laser lip lightening, you must first know the causes of lip darkening and ways to prevent it.
Causes of Lip Darkening
Some of the reasons why you might have lip darkening issues:
Smoking
It is one of the most common and self-induced causes of lip darkening. If you are addicted to smoking or are a regular smoker, there is every chance that you will have darker lips. Nicotine and tar are transferred onto the lip as you smoke, and that darkens your lips.
Too much caffeine
Coffee can cause lip-darkening. Especially too much consumption of caffeine and caffeine-based drinks can be problematic for your lips as it is to the rest of your body.
Dehydration
When you do not have enough water in your system, your lips will not lie. They will look dry, chipped, and dark as well if the dehydration continues for a while. It is an important thing to take care of to hydrate your lips and body alike constantly.
Excessive Sun Exposure
Melanin pigment production increases when there is too much exposure to the sun, leading to brown patches on the skin. Especially areas like the upper lip are very sensitive. Therefore, it is essential to use protection from the sun and use sunscreen before you step out.
