Understanding Minor Areas
Minor facial lines and areas such as bunny lines, lip flips, chin dimpling, and DAO muscle relaxation can form due to repeated facial movements and the natural ageing process. They often don’t receive as much attention as more prominent lines, but they can contribute to an overall expression of tension or discomfort.
- Bunny lines: Small lines that form on the sides of the nose when you scrunch your face or smile. They are a natural part of facial expression but can become more prominent with age.
- Lip flip: A subtle treatment aimed at enhancing the appearance of the upper lip by relaxing the muscles around the mouth, creating a fuller, more defined look.
- Chin contouring: Small indentations or dimpling in the chin area, often contributing to an appearance of tension or a less smooth contour.
- DAO muscle relaxation: The muscles at the corners of the mouth can pull downwards, contributing to a “sad” or “downturned” appearance. Relaxing these muscles can help create a more balanced, confident smile.
These areas are all part of your natural expressions, but with age, lifestyle, and environmental factors, they may become more pronounced or lead to an appearance of tension or discomfort.
At The Lounge Aesthetics, we offer gentle treatments for these minor areas that focus on enhancing your natural beauty rather than completely altering your expression. Whether it’s softening bunny lines, improving the shape of your lip, contouring your chin, or relaxing the DAO muscles for a more uplifting appearance, our approach is always tailored to your preferences.
Our treatments help to:
- Soften and smooth minor lines or dimples for a more refreshed and youthful look
- Enhance natural features without freezing your expression
- Provide results that are natural and customised to your unique facial anatomy
We understand that every face is different, and our goal is to support your features, not change them. Whether you prefer a more relaxed, subtle effect or a slightly more enhanced look, we can tailor your treatment to meet your specific desires.
What to Expect During a Consultation
The journey to subtle facial enhancement begins with a one-on-one consultation. During this time, we will discuss your concerns and goals for the treatment of minor areas like bunny lines, lip flip, chin contouring, and DAO muscle relaxation.
We will assess your facial anatomy, review the areas you’d like to enhance, and recommend a personalized plan based on your unique needs. You will receive clear and honest advice, along with a full explanation of the treatment process, timeline, and aftercare.
What Happens After Your Treatment
After treatment, you may notice a gradual improvement in the appearance of the treated areas. Here’s what you can expect:
- Bunny lines: Softened lines that create a more relaxed appearance without affecting your smile or facial expression.
- Lip flip: A subtle enhancement that creates a fuller, more defined lip contour, with results visible within a few days.
- Chin Contouring: A smoother chin profile that reduces dimpling, creating a more balanced appearance.
- DAO muscle relaxation: A gentle lift to the corners of the mouth, offering a more balanced and confident smile.
In most cases, full results are visible within 7–14 days, and the improvements will continue to refine and settle over this period.
Post-Treatment Care
Taking care of your skin after treatment is essential to achieving the best results. After your appointment, we’ll provide you with personalized aftercare instructions to ensure the best outcome. In general, here are some tips for post-treatment care:
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours to allow the product to settle properly.
- Skip intense physical activities such as heavy exercise, hot tubs, or saunas for 24–48 hours.
- Avoid heavy makeup or skincare actives for the first 24 hours after treatment.
- Stay hydrated and continue with your usual skincare routine as advised by your clinician.
We are here to support you with ongoing care and guidance to ensure you enjoy your results for as long as possible.
Will these treatments freeze my expression?
Not at all. Our focus is on enhancing your natural expression while softening the minor areas of concern. You’ll still be able to express yourself freely, but with a smoother, more relaxed appearance.
How long do results last?
Results typically last several months, depending on your individual body and lifestyle. We’ll discuss maintenance treatments during your consultation to help you achieve lasting results.
Are there any risks or downtime?
The treatments are non-invasive, with minimal downtime. Mild redness or swelling may occur immediately after treatment, but this typically resolves within a few hours to a day.
Can I combine this with other treatments?
Yes! Many clients combine minor area treatments with other services, such as frown line support or neck rejuvenation, for a more comprehensive approach to facial enhancement. During your consultation, we’ll discuss how to integrate treatments into a cohesive plan for your skin.
