You don't have to be a smoker to get these lines. They're one of the first signs of ageing to appear around the mouth.
Smoker's lines, also called perioral or vertical lip lines, are the fine vertical creases that form above the upper lip. Despite the name, you do not have to be a smoker to get them. They are caused by the natural loss of collagen, sun exposure, and the repetitive pursing movement of the mouth over time.
We treat them with a tailored approach. A fine hyaluronic acid filler softly fills the lines and restores definition to the lip border, while a small amount of anti-wrinkle can relax the muscle that deepens them. Together they smooth the area and stop lipstick or lip liner from bleeding into the lines.
Because the skin above the lip is delicate, this is a treatment where technique matters. At Dermamina we assess the area carefully and choose the right combination for you, aiming for a soft, natural finish, never an overfilled upper lip.
The skin above the lip is thin and mobile, so the goal here is precision, not volume. A fine filler softens the vertical lines and redefines the lip border, while a touch of anti-wrinkle relaxes the pursing movement that deepens them.
The result is a smoother upper lip where lipstick sits cleanly, without changing the size or shape of your lips, unless adding a little volume is something you want too.
Book nowWe assess the lines above your lip, your lip border and muscle movement, then decide whether filler, anti-wrinkle or a combination suits you best. No pressure, honest advice.
A fine filler and/or anti-wrinkle is placed with a precise technique to soften the lines. Numbing cream keeps you comfortable and the treatment takes around 20 minutes.
Filler results show immediately; any anti-wrinkle develops over up to two weeks. You get full written aftercare and can return to your day right away.
Every treatment is carried out in our Save Face accredited clinic on New Cavendish Street, five minutes from Oxford Street, by a medically qualified team.
No. Smoker's lines are common in people who have never smoked. They are mostly caused by ageing, sun exposure and the natural movement of the mouth.
It depends on your lines. Deeper static lines respond to fine filler; lines driven by movement respond to anti-wrinkle. Often a combination gives the smoothest, most natural result.
No. This treatment targets the fine lines and lip border, not lip volume. The goal is a smooth, defined upper lip, unless you also want to add volume.
Filler in this area typically lasts 6 to 12 months. Anti-wrinkle lasts around 3 to 4 months. We recommend a maintenance schedule to suit you.
Minimal. You may have slight swelling or tenderness for a day or two. You can return to normal activities immediately, though we advise avoiding makeup on the area for a few hours.
