Beware the “water bottle effect” on aging and wrinkling around the lips

LIVINGSTON, N.J. - Oct. 31, 2014 - PRLog -- Martinsville NJ, September 2, 2014 — Reflections Center for Skin & Body (www.reflectionscenter.com), the leading provider of aesthetic medicine warns that, while drinking up to eight glasses of water per day may be good for your skin, you should make sure you’re using a glass or a cup. It turns out that continually pursing your lips around the narrow opening of a water bottle causes a series of permanent lines on the face that are perpendicular to the lips.

“As we age, our skin becomes less supple and pliable, said Dr. Mitchell Chasin, Founder and Medical Director at Reflections Center.  “Even if you only drink four bottles of water a day, that means you might be pursing your lips as many as 150 times each day.”

Fortunately, there are some very good, non-invasive treatments for lip creases caused by water bottles. Fraxel laser treatment produces thousands of microscopic columns of laser light that removes older, damaged skin. Fraxel laser treatment also penetrates below the surface to help create collagen. This tightens the skin to help reduce lines and wrinkles. Deep creases can also be filled with dermal fillers.
