Treatments for Smokers' Lip Lines

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers, composed of hyaluronic acid can be strategically injected into smokers lines to fill them out and smooth the appearance of the skin. The added volume from the hyaluronic-based fillers helps to soften and minimise the depth of the lines, creating a smoother and more youthful-looking lip area. With our expert technique, fillers can effectively camouflage smokers' lip lines and restore a more refreshed, rejuvenated look to the mouth and surrounding areas.

Profhilo

Profhilo works by delivering high concentrations of hyaluronic acid into the skin, where it spreads evenly to deeply hydrate and stimulate collagen and elastin production. Rather than adding volume, it improves skin quality, elasticity and firmness around the lips.

The result is smoother, better-hydrated skin with softened fine lines and a naturally refreshed lip area that looks healthier and more youthful.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is an effective treatment for tackling smokers' lip lines due to its unique combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy. The microneedling component of Morpheus8 creates controlled micro-injuries, triggering the body's natural healing response and stimulating collagen and elastin production. Simultaneously, the radiofrequency energy tightens and contours the skin by heating the deeper layers. This dual approach not only smooths out the vertical lip lines caused by smoking but also improves overall skin texture and tone around the mouth area. By boosting collagen and tightening the skin, Morpheus8 can effectively diminish the appearance of smokers' lip lines, delivering a smoother and more rejuvenated appearance.

What are Smokers' Lip Lines?

Smokers’ Lip Lines, or barcode lines, are the vertical creases or wrinkles which can develop around the lips. As the name suggests, these are particularly common in smokers due to the repetitive puckering motion of the lips when smoking. Other factors that can contribute to smokers’ lip lines include dehydration and excess sun exposure, as ultraviolet light breaks down collagen and elastin, leading to lines and creases. Marked lip lines are a common result of ageing, as collagen depletion loss of elasticity result in wrinkles around the most active areas of our face.

Smoking itself is associated with ageing skin, and the tobacco in cigarettes is skin’s worst nightmare as it contributes to the breakdown of elastin and collagen, two structural proteins which help to keep skin firm. As levels of elastin and collagen break down, lines are more likely to develop.

At Dr David Jack, we offer a range of treatments to smooth out these lines and minimise their appearance. treatment options depend on depth of lines, age of the subject, and specific skin needs. Overall, the goal is to replenish the loss volume that causes the wrinkle, as well as promote elastine and collagen production for the skin to regain elasticity.
