About Lip Lines (Perioral Lines/Smoker's Lines).

Read more about Lip Lines (Perioral Lines/Smoker's Lines) Treatment details and clinical context

Lip lines (also known as perioral lines or smoker's lines) are wrinkles or fine lines that form around the mouth. They are usually most visible when you smile, laugh, or make other facial expressions. Lip lines are a very common form of wrinkles and can affect people of all ages. Lip lines, or creases on or around the mouth, can be caused by sun exposure, smoking, genetics, and repeated facial expressions. Fortunately, there are a number of treatments available to help reduce the appearance of lip lines and make them less noticeable.

At Dr Sknn Wilmslow Cheshire, we offer several effective treatments for reducing the appearance of Lip Lines (Perioral Lines/Smoker's Lines).

Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the most popular treatments for reducing the appearance of lip lines. The injections are made up of a neurotoxin which blocks the signals from the nerves to the muscles, causing them to relax and resulting in a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles. The injections are quick, safe and effective, and results can last for up to 4 months.

A consultation may conclude that a different treatment—or no treatment—is the safest and most appropriate recommendation.

Why Do Lip Lines Form?
Lip lines form for a variety of reasons. The most common cause is sun damage, as the skin around the mouth is particularly prone to sun damage due to its thinness and lack of oil glands. Other causes of lip lines include repetitive facial movements, smoking, and aging.
