Don’t Let Kiss Lines Become a Permanent Fixture On Your Face
Sometimes referred to as “smoker’s lines”, kiss lines appear on your upper lip. The position of these thin vertical lines comes from a particular facial expression; the pout. Whether from kissing, smoking, or applying lipstick, years of muscle contraction on your upper lips can leave indelible lines.
These lines usually fade on their own; however, as we get older, elastin and collagen production slows down. These proteins usually repair wear to the skin caused by repeated facial movements, but without them, the lines become a permanent fixture.
Kiss lines often become more profound if you smoke or spend too much time in the sun. This is because the sun’s rays speed up the depletion of elastin and collagen, and smoking stops oxygen from flowing freely to your skin through the underlying blood vessels.
The good news is that by using non-surgical cosmetic treatments, we can reduce the appearance of kiss lines and give you a more youthful look.

How We Remove
Kiss Lines
If puckering up for years has left you with permanent lines on your upper lip, you may want to reduce their appearance. We can do this using anti-wrinkle treatments such as Anti-wrinkle.
Before treatment, we’ll discuss what you’d like to achieve and assess the lines. Creating a tailored treatment plan will ensure we’re targeting the right areas of your face to achieve the best results.
Using BTX-A coupled with dermal fillers, we’ll smooth these lines and take years off your appearance.
The Anti-wrinkle will relax the muscles above your lips, reducing the lines. Dermal fillers can then add volume to the upper lip, improving your skin’s plumpness.

Love Teeth Dental, what can I say.. Absolutely lovely group of people who really want the best for you. I had composite bonding done 8 teeth yesterday along with three fillings and am blown away by the results. Deryn, and Abby were amazing! Not to mention everyone i’ve met on reception.
Had my first ever hygiene appointment with the lovely Gosha today and from the moment I walked in she made me feel so welcome and comfortable! She explained every step before she did anything and was absolutely amazing, so happy I have found a dental practice like Love Teeth dental! Honestly the nicest dental practice with the best staff. Would 100% recommend to my friends and family.
Been going here for a couple of years after having Invisalign with them. Polite staff, great service and a decently priced plan- highly recommended!
I am so pleased with my new implant! The centre is spotless and modern. All of the staff by are welcoming and friendly. I was very nervous but the lovely dental nurse reassured me I was in good hands and was there for every appointment. Dr Emmanuel Clozza made me feel at ease with his expertise straight away. He has done an amazing job!
I was most impressed when I arrived with everyone at reception being so helpful and welcoming. My appointment was on time and went straight to the room greeted by two staff. Dr. Mina and another had very constructive advice by her on my teeth and course of procedures to action upon. I left feeling assured of the care I would have on my next visit to Love Teeth at Cheam
Thanks Dr Emmanuel Clozza for my new implant – really pleased with the result. Dr Clozza Love Teeth Stonecot Hill is a true professional and the best dentist. Everybody at the Stonecot Hill Surgery makes you feel at ease – Ann Gardner.
The dentist at Love Teeth was very kind and warming and my daughter did not feel nervous at all. I am so grateful they managed to do the extraction with ease. The waiting room for children is also brilliant, with seasonal things to do (colouring, books, ipad, projector with a film on). We would most definitely come back and will now be looking at a membership for my daughter.
They are so great with kids. because my little 3 years old daughter is so young won’t let do injection so they did gas and air to make her relax then they took out the broken tooth. They so patient with kids. Definitely recommend this place
Frequently asked questions
What Causes Kiss Lines?
Kiss lines, smoker’s lines, and lipstick lines are all names for the same wrinkles on your upper lips. But, contrary to the names of these lines, you don’t have to be someone that smokes, wears lipstick, or even kisses to develop them – they’ll appear as part of the natural ageing process.
Lines in your face appear through repeated use of facial expressions. This is because the muscles in your face are in constant use, and certain movements and expressions leave creases over time.
Typically, these creases are smoothed out naturally due to our skin’s ability to repair itself. However, this restorative process relies on the proteins collagen and elastin, which deplete with age. Without the repair mechanisms, these kiss lines become prominent fixtures that remain in place permanently.
How Are Kiss Lines Treated?
We treat kiss lines using injectables. Through a brief and minimally invasive non-surgical procedure, we’ll iron out the creases in your upper lip and make you look and feel years younger.
The treatment for kiss lines has no downtime and is mostly pain and discomfort free.
What Are the Best Treatment Options for Kiss Lines?
The most reliable treatment for kiss lines is Anti-wrinkle. This branded cosmetic treatment uses Botulinum-A Toxin, a neurotoxic protein used by clinicians worldwide to loosen muscles and minimise the signs of ageing.
We may also use dermal fillers to add volume to your upper lips. Fillers help when the fat supporting your skin is no longer present, leading to a sunken appearance. Dermal fillers consist of hyaluronic acid, a substance found throughout the human body which attracts water molecules, hydrates your skin, and improves lost volume.
