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.

Brilliant experience every time! I travel over an hour and a half to come here. I’ve had the full smile make over – Invisalign, whitening and composite bonding and I love my teeth and get so many compliments where as before I used to hate my smile. Come here regularly now for check ups and hygienist appointments. Will continue to travel as a great experience every time. Spotless clinics, helpful friendly staff and feel it’s good value for money. Would recommend to others!
Fantastic NHS check up & filling with Dr Maryam Butt. Maryam provided very thorough & professional dental treatment. She was calm & compassionate making me feel welcome and at ease. Maryam took good care of me, providing an honest service and great follow on advice. Thank you, Maryam.
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.
Gorgeous and friendly staff, really beautiful clinic and perfect treatments. I had my front fillings changed and they look really good. They match my teeth and aren’t visible. I know this is tricky to do but my dentist here is very good and professional so done the best job I have had. Everyone is happy to share information on treatments and will answer any questions.
Special thanks to Shivam Divani at LoveTeeth Cheam, his customer service is incredible & his work speaks for itself. He is so transparent and provides you a non biased opinion on cosmetic treatments, I will be recommending him to all of my friends for Invisalign, Bonding and Whitening treatments.
Dr KP is highly competent. I am so pleased with my teeth and the service at Love Teeth. The clinic is very welcoming and not clinical like most dentists. Kerry is also a great receptionist and very helpful. Firstly from the consultation with Dr KP I came away so impressed as he understands and doesn’t talk you into anything and explained in depth all the process and answered any questions I had on all the treatments he provides. You don’t feel rushed at all. I really like his expertise and feel completely at ease and confident in his care and I have had the same dentist for over 25 years so never thought I’d say that. He literally did a few adjustments to my teeth and they look amazing! I would highly recommend and I am looking forward to having some more treatments done. Thank you.
Had 2 fillings without an inch of pain.. Didn’t even feel the injection and one side was done without numbing. Was given such a warm welcome by all and the dentist even promised he wouldn’t spoil my lovely day so far.. The experience really didn’t. Thank you so much Love Teeth Dental.
The team at Sutton Love teeth have been friendly and supportive throughout my Invisalign journey. I was well informed on the process and I am happy with my results!
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.
