The Science of Lip Thinning:
Our lips undergo transformations due to the gradual loss of collagen, a crucial protein responsible for skin structure and elasticity. Collagen decline is a natural part of aging, starting as early as our 20s and continuing at a rate of about 1% per year. This loss of structural support leads to reduced lip volume and a less defined lip contour.
Additionally, external factors such as UV damage, smoking, and inflammation can exacerbate collagen breakdown, accelerating the thinning process. UV exposure contributes to collagen degradation, emphasizing the importance of sun protection for overall skin health, including the delicate lip area. Smoking not only causes fine lines around the mouth but also diminishes lip fullness by impairing oxygen delivery to tissues. Chronic inflammation, triggered by various lifestyle factors, further contributes to collagen loss and skin aging.
Effective Strategies for Fuller, Healthier Lips:
Collagen Supplements: Hydrolyzed collagen peptides, available in supplement form, can support the body's natural collagen production. By enhancing skin elasticity and density, collagen supplements promote plumper lips and overall skin health.
Protective Measures: Sun protection is paramount for preventing UV-induced collagen damage. Using lip balms or glosses with physical SPF ingredients like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide shields lips from harmful rays. Quitting smoking is another crucial step in preserving lip fullness and overall skin quality. Additionally, managing internal inflammation through stress-reducing techniques, a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, and avoiding skin irritants can help maintain lip health.
Hydration: Proper hydration is essential for skin health, including the lips. Drinking an adequate amount of water daily helps maintain skin thickness and suppleness, contributing to a more youthful lip contour.
Lip-Nourishing Treatments: Investing in quality lip treatments such as masks, oils, and balms can provide nourishment and hydration to the delicate lip area. Look for products enriched with moisturizing ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, and vitamin E to keep lips soft, smooth, and healthy.

What has changed?
The legislation regarding cosmetic injectables has not changed. Most cosmetic injectables contain substances that are in Schedule 4 to the Poisons Standard and, in accordance with the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (the Act), cannot be advertised to the public. The TGA no longer expressly permits references to terms such as ‘wrinkle reducing injections’ or ‘lip fillers’ where those terms would result in a reasonable consumer understanding the intention of the content is to promote the use or supply of a prescription-only medicine or good containing such as substance. This includes through acronyms, nicknames, abbreviations and hashtags, which may be taken by a consumer as a reference to a specific prescription-only medicine or substance.
This does not apply to cosmetic injectables that do not contain any prescription-only substances.
"The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has updated its guidance on advertising cosmetic injectables to ensure advertising rules are applied consistently across all industries that deal with therapeutic goods.
Historically, the TGA has allowed indirect references to prescription medicines to be referenced in advertisements related to cosmetic health services. This was allowed only in the context of promoting the service and only by using generic non-product specific terms such as ‘wrinkle reducing injections.’ Express references to products or ingredients themselves, such as ‘Botox’ or ‘botulinum toxin’, were not permitted. The TGA considered this a pragmatic approach which would allow cosmetic clinics who offered these services to differentiate themselves from those that did not.
Recently, the TGA has observed that clinics and health services in other industry areas are advertising the availability of prescription medicines, usually by referring to a class of goods (for example ‘weight loss injections’, ‘medicinal cannabis’ or ‘nicotine vaping products’). The TGA has interpreted that promoting a health service in this way is also an advertisement for a therapeutic good that refers to prescription medicines, which is unlawful.
To resolve any inconsistency in interpretation across industry areas, the TGA no longer permits references to terms such as ‘lip fillers’ where those terms would result in a reasonable consumer understanding the intention of the content is to promote the use or supply of a prescription medicine."
