The vertical lines on the upper lip and the crepey skin around the mouth are treated with the Precise applicator, the smaller handpiece the manufacturer describes as made for the challenging areas around the eyes, mouth and chin. A trial of Sofwave on the upper lip lines was completed in 2025 and no clearance names the lip yet, which we say plainly; the clearance for facial lines and wrinkles covers the face. The applicator heats the dermis around the mouth with the surface cooled, so the skin contracts and builds collagen over three months. One session, from £799 as part of the face, at Sofwave Clinic, 8 Devonshire Place, with the price in writing at a free consultation.
What it does around the mouth
Lines etched into the skin soften as the dermis rebuilds, and the skin around the mouth firms. Lines made by pursing the lips keep forming with the muscle, and thin lips are a volume question; the clinician says at the free consultation which fits. The lips themselves are not treated.
What the evidence covers
The upper-lip trial is completed and its results are not yet published, and no study measures the mouth area alone; the brow and eyes page sets out the Precise applicator's other uses.
The session and the result
Numbing cream for 45 to 60 minutes, then about 10 minutes around the mouth within a face session. Redness for a few hours and mild swelling up to a day, with work and makeup fine the same day, and a cold sore in the past is a reason to tell the clinician first. The change shows from six to eight weeks and peaks at three months, when we take the after photograph, and in our experience it holds for around a year.
