Best Treatments for Wrinkles Around the Mouth

By Stefani Heisler, PA-C | Owner & Aesthetic Specialist, Simply You By Stef

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

When it comes to facial rejuvenation, the goal isn’t just to look younger, ok maybe it is, but how great would it be to actually achieve healthier skin that looks great! That’s where Virtue RF stands apart. This advanced radiofrequency microneedling treatment doesn’t simply mask signs of aging, it works at a cellular level to improve the quality, strength, and vitality of your skin.

Virtue RF delivers controlled radiofrequency energy through ultra-fine microneedles, stimulating collagen and elastin while enhancing skin function. The result? Healthy skin that naturally looks brighter, firmer, and more refreshed.

One Treatment. Many Benefits.

Virtue RF is a multitasking powerhouse for both the face and neck, addressing several concerns at once:

• Improves skin texture and tone
• Softens fine lines and wrinkles
• Firms and tightens lax skin (especially around the eyes)
• Reduces pore size
• Enhances overall skin resilience and glow

Because Virtue RF treats the deeper layers of the skin while preserving the surface, results look natural, never overdone. Patients often describe looking well-rested, refreshed, and more confident, rather than “treated.” An additional bonus is all of this is accomplished with no downtime.

Face + Neck: The Perfect Pair

The face and neck age together, yet the neck is often overlooked. Treating both areas creates balanced, harmonious results, and when the skin is healthier, it shows everywhere.

The New Year is the perfect time to refocus on self improvement, but real results don’t come from trends or one-size-fits-all treatments. They come from a personalized skin plan designed around you.

At Simply You by Stef, every client starts with a thoughtful consultation. We take the time to understand your skin concerns, goals, lifestyle, and past experiences before recommending anything. Your skin is unique, and your plan should be too.

We also believe great results should feel achievable. That’s why we design treatment plans that respect your budget, work with your schedule, and fit realistically into your life, whether that means gradual improvements over the year or targeted treatments for specific goals.

The benefit of starting the year with a customized plan is clarity. You know what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and what to expect next. Over time, this intentional approach leads to more natural, consistent, and confidence-boosting results.

This year, skip the guesswork. Start with a plan and let your skin reflect it.
