Quick Answer
Perioral rejuvenation is a non-surgical approach to restoring a more youthful appearance around the mouth, addressing fine lines, lip thinning, downturned corners, and volume loss. It is suited for adults noticing early-to-advanced aging changes in the perioral region. Treatments typically combine dermal fillers, neuromodulators, and/or resurfacing to smooth wrinkles and restore definition. At ID Cosmetic Clinic in Markham and Toronto, perioral rejuvenation is personally performed by Dr. Dan Xu, M.D., with most patients seeing gradual improvement over one to two sessions spaced several weeks apart.
