Smoker Lines Treatment

Smoker lines, often referred to as perioral wrinkles, are fine vertical creases that appear around the lips. The name originates from the repetitive pouting of the mouth caused by smoking. That said, “smoke wrinkles” can also form due to any repetitive lip movements, lifestyle factors or the natural ageing process. At Injex Clinics, we offer personalised cosmetic smoker line treatments that may help address smoker wrinkle lines.

What to expect during your initial consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough initial consultation at Injex Clinics. Our practitioners will review your facial structure, skin type and medical history to decide on the most viable approach to treatment. This session is designed to educate you about potential options and set realistic expectations for results. We’ll address any concerns you have, discuss potential side effects and ensure you have all the information and documentation needed to make an informed decision.

Eligibility for a smoker line correction is determined during this consultation. If treatment is deemed unsuitable, our team will recommend alternative solutions to address your fine lines while aligning with your aesthetic goals.

Potential side effects of a smoker line treatment

As with all cosmetic treatments, there are possible side effects. The most common include mild redness, swelling or tenderness in the treatment area, which typically subsides within a few days. In some cases, minor bruising may occur. 

Rare but more serious side effects will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation to ensure transparency and preparedness. These can include drooping eyelids, facial pain, muscle weakness, facial numbness or a feeling of pins and needles, nausea and/or blurred vision.

We provide comprehensive beforecare and aftercare instructions to support healing and maximise your desired results. Should you experience any unusual symptoms, promptly call us or your medical provider for immediate assistance.

Results

  • Results vary between individuals depending on factors such as skin quality, age, lifestyle and treatment plan.
  • Many people notice a softening in the appearance of vertical lip lines, leading to a smoother look around the mouth.
  • The effects are temporary and usually last for a few months, after which repeat treatments may be considered if clinically appropriate.
  • Subtle, natural-looking improvements are typical; however, results are not guaranteed.

After Care

  • To support healing and help achieve the best possible outcome:
  • Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for several hours unless advised by your practitioner.
  • Do not apply make-up over the area until the following day.
  • Stay upright for at least four hours after treatment.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol and excessive heat (such as saunas or hot yoga) for 24 hours.
  • Mild swelling, redness or bruising can occur and usually resolves within a few days.
  • Attend your follow-up appointment if one has been recommended, so your practitioner can assess the outcome.

FAQs

.

Smoker lines, or perioral lines, are fine vertical wrinkles that develop around the mouth. These lines are often caused by repetitive lip movements, such as pursing the lips when smoking or drinking through a straw. They may also result from the natural ageing process, which leads to a reduction in collagen and elastin production, impacting skin laxity. Environmental factors like excessive sun exposure and lifestyle choices can contribute to their appearance. While commonly associated with smoking, these lines can affect anyone regardless of this habit.

Smoker’s lines, also known as vertical lip lines, may be addressed with non-surgical aesthetic options that are intended to soften their appearance. Depending on individual assessment, treatments may include:

Muscle-relaxing procedures, which can reduce movement around the mouth and may help soften fine lines.

Volumisation procedures, which may be used to restore structure in the surrounding area and support the appearance of the skin.

A comprehensive consultation with a qualified health practitioner is essential. During this appointment, your practitioner will assess the lines, discuss potential treatment options, outline possible risks, and determine whether any treatment is appropriate for you.

While some improvements may be visible within the first few days, the full effects of the treatment generally take two weeks to develop. The final result depends on individual factors such as skin type, metabolism and lifestyle. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure optimal results and longevity of the treatment, with regular follow-up sessions to ensure optimal results.

The results of a smoker’s lines treatment typically last for three to four months, depending on individual factors such as skin type, metabolism, genetics, age and lifestyle. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain the results and keep the fine lines appearing more softened over time.

There is minimal downtime with smoker lines treatment. However, aftercare is important for optimal results. We recommend that you avoid applying pressure to the treated areas for 24 hours, refrain from strenuous exercise and avoid alcohol or extreme temperatures for 24 to 48 hours. Your practitioner will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to follow for optimal healing and results.
