Best Treatments for Wrinkles Around the Mouth

Reader Question
Janice, 57, a nonprofit director from Winter Park, asks:
“I’m not ready for a facelift, but I’m starting to see sagging around my jawline. I am also noticing a lot of wrinkling around my mouth. Can RF skin tightening really help or is it just hype?”
Let’s be honest: not everyone wants to go under the knife for younger-looking skin, and not everyone needs to. At Simply You by Stef, we see a growing number of women (and men) in their 40s, 50s, and even 60s looking for ways to tighten, lift, and smooth their skin without surgery.
That’s where radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening combined with microneedling comes in. This non-invasive treatment (Virtue RF) uses heat-based energy to stimulate collagen, improve firmness, and contour your face and neck. All of this with no scalpel, no stitches, no downtime.
It’s not a facelift. But for many clients, it’s the refresh they were hoping for, minus the recovery.
RF energy gently heats the dermis via gold tipped micro needles , targeting the deeper layer of the skin, without damaging the surface. This heat stimulates collagen and elastin production, tightening the skin over time.
Unlike lasers, which are very destructive and have definite downtime, RF promotes skin health while also lifting and tightening from within. It’s safe for all skin tones and types and requires zero downtime.
What RF Skin Tightening Can Do:
- Firm mild to moderate skin laxity (jowls, neck, cheeks)
- Define jawlines and soften “marionette lines”
- Improve fine lines and early wrinkles, especially around the mouth and lower face
- Smooth crepey skin on face, neck, and chest
How It Works:
- A handheld device gently introduces 36 gold tip needles into the skin while also delivering controlled RF energy
- The skin heats to a therapeutic temperature (you’ll feel warmth, not pain)
- Your body responds by producing fresh collagen over the next 4-6 months
“For the right client, RF is a game-changer. It’s ideal for those noticing early signs of laxity who want to delay or avoid surgery. It’s also fantastic for people who’ve already had filler but need skin tightening, not volume.”
— Stefani Heisler, PA-C
The American Academy of Dermatology states that non-invasive skin tightening with RF is one of the most requested aesthetic treatments among women ages 40–60.
Recent studies published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology show that RF treatments can improve skin laxity by up to 37% over three sessions, with long lasting results depending on maintenance.
“I hated how soft my jawline was starting to look. I wasn’t ready for surgery, and I didn’t want filler in that area. Stef recommended Virtue RF, and by my second session, I already saw definition coming back. It’s subtle, but also quite noticeable.”
— Kara, 49
RF with micro needling skin tightening isn’t about changing your face it’s about helping your skin stay in the game longer. If you’re seeing early signs of laxity but aren’t ready for surgery, this technology offers a proven, safe, and graceful solution.
What will Virtue RF do for me?
- RF skin tightening improves laxity, contours, and firmness
- No downtime, no scars, no surgery
- Best for mild to moderate sagging (jawline, neck, under eyes)
- Results build over 4-6 months
- Works beautifully when paired with filler or skin treatments
