overview

Lip lines, also known as smoker’s lines, are the fine vertical wrinkles that develop around the lips, often due to repetitive muscle movement, aging, or smoking. Over time, these lines can become more pronounced, giving the mouth an aged appearance. Dermal fillers are a highly effective treatment for softening these lines by restoring lost volume and providing support to the skin. Fillers containing hyaluronic acid help plump the area, smoothing out the wrinkles and giving a more youthful, fuller look. For optimal results, dermal fillers can be combined with Botox injections, which work to relax the orbicularis oris muscle, reducing muscle activity that causes deeper lines to form. This combination offers a comprehensive approach to rejuvenating the lips and surrounding area. Results from fillers are usually immediate, while Botox effects take a few days to show. Together, they provide long-lasting results that can last up to 6-12 months, significantly reducing the appearance of smoker’s lines and enhancing the natural beauty of your lips.
