Repeated pursing of the lips over time combined with environmental stresses, including smoking, can result in undesirable lines that can really age the area around the mouth. These can be softened with the awarding winning Teoxane hyaluronic acid filler to achieve a very natural improvement.
Smoker’s lines are the thin vertical lines that surround the lips, thought to be caused by the repeated puckering of the lips when sucking on cigarettes, though they also appear in those who have never smoked. They are caused by changes in skin elasticity during ageing as well as the repeated movement of the muscles in the area. Smoker’s lines can make the face appear tired, sad and aged. However, they can be banished by treatment with dermal fillers. Injection of dermal fillers into this area restores volume, effectively filling in the lines.
Small vertical lines known as smokers’ wrinkles appear across the lip’s actual surface as well as the skin that runs from the upper lip lines towards the nose. They frequently cross the mouth from one side to the other, giving the lower face an uneven, cracked appearance that might give the impression of ageing and anguish. Although they are quite minute, they frequently form in bunches over a person’s lips, giving the entire mouth region a wrinkled appearance. Smokers’ wrinkles may appear darker, deeper, and more obtrusive than they actually are because lipstick frequently “bleeds” and settles in the crevices that form.
In comparison to the lines that develop on the lips themselves, smokers’ lines that develop between the upper lip and nose are frequently more apparent.

What is Dr Humble's approach to his bespoke 10 Years' Younger Non-Surgical FaceLift?
Because they appear over time, smokers’ lines are a normal side effect of ageing. Our skin gradually produces less collagen and elastin as we age naturally. These vital skin proteins maintain the suppleness and moisture of our skin. They keep it smooth and stiff while allowing it to flex and snap back. However, after the age of 20, our bodies begin to manufacture 1% less collagen and elastin year. Skin becomes thinner and less elastic as a result, making it more prone to wrinkle development. Vertical lines start to appear as a result, and our lips become less full and luscious.
The cost for this treatment is £350. The results typically last six months and can be done in one quick clinic visit with immediate effects. Book in today with our expert Consultants in Aesthetic Medicine, Dr Humble and Dr Basi, who can design a personalised treatment plan to alleviate your concerns.
With an injectable lip filler procedure, smokers’ lines can be diminished quickly and easily. Lip fillers using award-winning hyaluronic acid reduce the creases around the mouth and upper lip. With their potent hyaluronic acid formulation, which holds water in the skin’s dermis, they rapidly enhance the volume of deep-set wrinkles. These non-permanent hyaluronic acid fillers also encourage the body to produce collagen naturally, which encourages collagen cells to multiply and replenish themselves over time. This significantly lessens the look of smokers’ lines while also assisting patients in achieving thicker, fuller lips for nine to eighteen months. To achieve this, we use Teoxane Teosyal fillers, which won the award for best dermal filler product at the prestigious Aesthetic Awards in 2022.

Smoker’s lines filler treatment with high quality hyaluronic acid administered by a highly trained medical professional is an exceptionally safe treatment. The treatment is designed to simply soften and smooth the fine lines and crepiness above the lips and around the mouth as appropriate to achieve a very natural result. It is normal to have some degree of lines when we purse our lips but this treatment aims to really minimise this as far as possible. It is worth noting that hyaluronic acid treatment is a more effective method for treating smoker’s lines than invasive surgery.
Although the procedure has an excellent safety record, there are minor risks associated with any medical procedure that is performed. In this case this includes infection, allergy, asymmetry, bruising, suboptimal result and vascular occlusion, but this is exceptionally rare.
Interestingly, the act of smoking itself is not the cause of smoker’s lines. In fact, the reason these lines are also referred to ask lipstick lines is because clients who wear lipstick notice the leeching or bleeding of the lipstick into these lines. The lines themselves are part of the ageing process and due to the breakdown of collagen and elastin within the skin’s matrix, are usually more noticeable and deeper above the top lip, with a loss of volume and elasticity. The cumulative effects of smoking on collagen breakdown coupled with the overuse of the muscles pursing around the cigarettes will have additional impact on these lines, as will sun damage.
Clients may feel these lines are unsightly and this is where dermal fillers can offer a quick and simple solution. Injection of dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid will plump the deepened lines, lifting the tissue up and resulting in a smoother texture to the skin around the mouth.
