ABOUT THE TREATMENT
The smoker’s lines or “bar-code” wrinkles in your upper lip are the result of smoking, sun damage and natural ageing and can age your appearance dramatically. They can be static (visible while lips are rested) or active (visible on contraction) and can appear above and/or below the lips in the distribution of the strap-like muscle around the mouth.
This area can be treated by a combination of both Botox (to relax the muscle) and filler (to add volume that is lost) often with great, long-lasting results.
HOW IT WORKS
You can reduce smoker wrinkles and remove upper lip lines with the help of some aesthetic treatments stimulating collagen from your own skin in this area. Botox & fillers are some of the most common choices for reducing the visibility of vertical smoker’s lines.
With the injection of hyaluronic acid fillers on the upper lip, the quality of the skin will be improved, and the smoker wrinkles will be filled-up and straightened. Injection of hyaluronic acid always stimulates re-emergence of collagen fibres, so that a unique treatment can achieve a much longer success.
It is important to use a light filler here as not to create a bulk or a duck like lip. A light filler can provide a blanket coverage and smooth out this area. A small amount of Botox can also help in reducing the muscle movements that normally reinforce these lines.

THINGS TO KNOW
Before the injections, a topical or local numbing agent may be applied to ease discomfort. Sometimes, nerve block injections can be given before the treatment to completely numb the lips.
After carefully marking the areas to be injected, very fine needles are used to inject the substance into your lips. Following injection, ice may be given to ease discomfort and control swelling. But no firm pressure should be put on the treatment area.
Lipstick or other lip products are best avoided immediately after the procedure.
You should be able to notice a difference immediately. After you have healed, your lips should feel natural.
Side effects of the treatments are limited and temporary and should only last a few days.
