What is Smoker Lines treatment?
Smoker’s lines are small vertical lines that extend vertically from the lips. This occurs when lips lose their volume as we age. With time our skin loses its elasticity and can be prone to losing volume and elasticity, which can cause you to look older than you are. To help reverse or eliminate this; we can inject dermal fillers in the area around the lips, making your features look more plump, fuller, and smooth to give you a youthful appearance.
The result after the procedure is visible immediately and typically settles in two weeks, making you look even better in time! Dermal fillers are a great way to gently enhance your natural beauty as it is not designed to drastically change your appearance.
What happens during the treatment?
The skin will be thoroughly cleaned and numbing cream will be applied if necessary. Our Injector will then gently inject the dermal filler into the target areas.
You will see an instant, visible result with this treatment. The area may be slightly bruised and tender however this will go down after 24-48 hours. Results will continue to progress over a two week period.
Who is Smoker Lines treatment for?
The smoker lines Dermal Filler is suitable for men and women over the age of 30.
For best results, we recommend a combination of dermal fillers and Anti-Wrinkle Injections. Anti-Wrinkle Injections will help to relax muscular contracture, thereby relaxing the lines, whilst dermal filler softens the more permanent etching that may have occurred. Not only does the combination of dermal fillers and Anti-Wrinkle Injections give superior results, but this regime will also help extend the longevity of the overall outcome. Patients can realistically expect to see improvement in the puckered look, as well as softening of the furrowed lines.
Also worth considering is a bit of lip enhancement. Adding some bulk to the lips with dermal fillers will also have a positive effect on the smoker's lines by further elongating the lip that has contracted over the years.
