Smokers’ lines, also known as lipstick lines or perioral lines, are vertical wrinkles around the mouth, typically seen in older individuals or individuals with a history of smoking. These wrinkles can make the mouth appear aged and are a common concern for those seeking aesthetic medical treatments.
At Tracey Bell clinics, we have several aesthetic medical options available for the treatment of smokers lines, including:
Dermal fillers – these are typically made of hyaluronic acid and can be injected into the area around the mouth to fill in the wrinkles and restore volume to the lips. This can help to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Anti-wrinkle injections – these can be injected into the muscles around the mouth to relax them and temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This treatment is particularly effective for dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements.
Laser resurfacing – fractional CO2 lasers can resurface the skin around the mouth, promoting collagen production and improving skin texture and tone. This treatment can be particularly effective for deeper wrinkles and sun damage.
Chemical peels – these involve applying a solution to the skin that causes the outer layers of the skin to peel away, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath. This treatment can be effective for mild to moderate wrinkles and to improve skin texture and tone.
It’s important to consult with a qualified and experienced medical professional before undergoing any treatment for smokers’ lines to determine the best treatment for your needs and discuss potential risks and benefits. Additionally, avoiding smoking and excessive sun exposure can help to prevent the formation of smokers’ lines in the first place. We are always happy to help at Tracey Bell.
