Have you started noticing those pesky little lines appearing around your mouth?

They’re often called smoker lines, but you don’t have to smoke to get them!
They’re actually called ‘perioral lines’ or ‘perioral rhytids’.

They are caused by repetitive puckering movements coupled with loss of collagen & elastin, sun damage and reduced skin quality.

These can be treated several ways-very dependant upon the cause and presentation at consultation.

Wrinkle relaxing injections can be used to relax the muscle in this area, leading to less muscle movement-this alone will not address the root cause of the lines and these will come back as the injections wear off. However, can be a very effective quick fix!

Microneedling can be very effective to boost collagen and make the skin thicker and more robust-less prone to ‘folding’.

Skin boosters and polynucleotides are a good option if there is any inflammation, significant sun damage or a lack of hydration deep in the dermis.

Filler can also be used to fill the lines, but this must be done very conservatively so as not to cause too much volume.

If you would like to chat about your perioral lines book in 😀

Is your skin changing as you move through your 40s?

Collagen loss, hormonal changes, fine lines, reduced elasticity and changes in skin texture can all affect how our skin looks and feels.

At Bloom Aesthetics Perth, my approach is centred around skin health, skin quality and natural-looking results.

If you’re considering polynucleotides or Sunekos but aren’t sure which treatment is right for you, that’s exactly what a consultation is for.

How can sugar age our skin? 👀

You already know microneedling is great for stimulating collagen, but let’s talk about the other benefits:

1. It purges ‘zombie cells’. As we age, our skin accumulates senescent cells. These are cells that are not working properly anymore, but refuse to die. They secrete harmful chemicals that cause inflammation and destroy healthy collagen. Studies show the mechanical trauma of microneedling acts to clear away these damaged cells, reducing inflammation and allowing nearby cells to function properly.

2. It stimulates new blood vessels (angiogenesis).
The micro injuries trigger a massive release of Growth Factors that signal your body to grow entirely new, healthy micro blood vessels in the dermis. This helps to remove stagnant cellular waste and floods dull skin with fresh oxygen and proteins.

3. It upgrades your skins armour (filaggrin production). It sounds counterintuitive but creating controlled damage to the skin triggers a gene that produces filaggrin - the essential protein your skin uses to build its physical barrier. It literally trains chronic, dry, hyper reactive skin to become stronger and naturally lock in water.

It’s still my favourite treatment for almost everyone 🤩 ™️

Did you know botulinum toxin can treat depression?!

This has been such an exciting thing to research and makes complete sense..

Multiple randomised controlled trials have found that botulinum toxin injected into the frown muscles significantly reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety.

A pooled analysis of 134 patients published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research found a 54% response rate for depression, compared to just 10% with placebo.
30% achieved full remission. From a single treatment.

A 2024 systematic review of 21 clinical trials confirmed botulinum toxin is safe, well-tolerated, and effective for major depressive disorder and social anxiety.

Here’s the mechanism:
It’s called the facial feedback hypothesis.
Your facial muscles don’t just express emotions - they send signals back to your brain that reinforce them.
When the frown muscles are relaxed - the negative feedback loop weakens.
Your brain literally receives less depressive signals.

Another study in 2024 found that people with NO history of depression reported increased life satisfaction and happiness after botulinum toxin.

if you can relate to this please let me know-I would love to hear about your journey 🧠 🤩

SUNEKOS vs Polynucleotides

16/07/2026

I’ve been quiet on here recently-start of summer holidays and some time out of work which is always much needed at this time of year! Living vicariously through my daughter at her first Pony Club camp-the best few days of fun and laughter. Pondering on how important these things are for our well being… 🙂
