Smoker’s lines

For mild lip lines, dermal fillers offer a way to restore lost volume and smooth fine lines. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers hydrate the skin and improve texture, lasting 9 to 12 months. In some cases, a combination of anti-wrinkle injections and fillers provides the best outcome—relaxing the muscles while adding volume for a natural look. Polynucleotides, a type of skin booster, can also be used to improve elasticity and hydration, stimulating collagen production to further refine the area. Pricing for dermal fillers starts from €450.

Downtime for dermal fillers is minimal, though mild swelling or bruising may occur. Care must be taken not to overfill this area, as excessive filler can exaggerate the lips and create an unnatural appearance. There is also a small risk of migration when treating multiple lines, so correction may not always be complete in cases of extensive wrinkling.

For more established lip lines and texture concerns, Erbium laser resurfacing is the most advanced option. This treatment removes damaged skin layers and stimulates new collagen production to smooth wrinkles and improve skin texture. Healing takes up to 3 months, with redness and mild inflammation during recovery. Patients should be prepared for social downtime and will need to attend follow-up reviews during the healing process. Pre-treatment includes antiviral medication, pain relief, and topical anaesthetic or nerve blocks for comfort. Pricing for Erbium laser resurfacing is available upon consultation.
