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.

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.
My grandson had his first filling and the dentist and dental nurse were fantastic with him completing putting him at ease. Highly recommend it.
So far my experience with Love Teeth Chessington has been fantastic. Megna is warm and professional, she really listened to what I want to achieve and pieced together a bespoke dental plan for me. After focusing on the health of my teeth, I’m now 8 weeks into my Invisalign journey. The support from the team on the phone has also been seamless! Would definitely recommend.
I recently had facial aesthetics treatments at Love Skin, and the results are amazing! Dr. Arati was so professional, taking the time to really understand what I was looking for. My skin looks smoother, and the subtle enhancements have left me feeling more confident than ever. I couldn’t be happier – a fantastic experience from start to finish!
After having such a great experience myself, I took my 17 year old son for a check up. Again the experience was brilliant and consistent to mine. My son can’t wait to start treatment which is lovely to see, I will definitely be moving my husband over to love teeth as well. Thank you love teeth
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!
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.
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
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.
