Sometimes referred to as “kiss lines”, smoker’s lines are creases on your upper lip that form from repeated puckering or sucking motions. While we’re young, these lines naturally fade as our skin has enough collagen and elastin to restore itself. As we age, depleted collagen and elastin levels cause wrinkles to stick.
Although you may not smoke, these signs of ageing may still affect you. Smokers’ lines may appear from applying makeup, drinking through a straw, or even kissing.
Wrinkles and lines can deepen if you spend excessive time in the sun or smoke. UV rays from the sun lead to further decreases in elastin and collagen, and smoking harms the blood vessels below your skin, slowing the oxygen flow.
Prematurely aged skin can impact your confidence; however, there are treatments to remedy this issue. With anti-wrinkle injections, it’s possible to smooth the smoker’s lines and bring a refreshed look of youth to your skin.

How We Treat
Smoker’s Lines
The great news is that we can treat your smoker’s lines without surgery. Using injectables such as Anti-wrinkle and dermal fillers, we can flatten unwanted lines and give you a fresh, youthful appearance.
Every treatment starts with a thorough facial assessment. Here, we’ll examine your wrinkles and facial structures to identify the best approach.
Anti-wrinkle is an effective way of dealing with wrinkles. We’ll inject the solution into targetted areas of your face to relax muscles beneath the affected skin. The procedure takes less than an hour and has no downtime.
In some cases, we’ll also use dermal fillers. Again, we’ll inject specific areas to restore lost volume. You’ll notice the results immediately.

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!
I recently have had composite bonding done in the Sutton branch because I didn’t like the colour, length or shape of my teeth. I can’t thank Caroline enough for spending so much time and effort in making sure that they are perfect, I couldn’t be happier with the results! All the staff are so helpful and so lovely and make you feel so comfortable, I would highly recommend Love Teeth!
Had my first adult filling and Dr Wasan Dheyab and Debbie were brilliant. Like many people I was extremely nervous and they were so kind, calming and supportive. Lovely greeting from Nikki on reception also. Overall positive and professional experience. They make it easier to come back – see you at the 6 month check up!
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.
My daughters (6 and 2,5 years) and I went went to Love Teeth dental practice today. It was my daughters first dental appointment, and I couldn’t recommend them more! They were so helpful and professional, and incredibly good with my kids! I could not recommend them enough!
I was so comfortable while they were working on a root canal I actually fell asleep. Great service and patient care.
I am so impressed with this establishment the new Sutton branch is amazing and I took advantage of the free composite bonding consultation. This included an X-ray and thorough appointment which was not cut short even when it was clear composite bonding was not an option for me. The Dr gave me great advice and a thorough check up and didn’t push a service. Every member of staff I met was welcoming and professional. Five star service and five star establishments. Thank you!!
I’ve been going to Love Teeth for almost two years since I got my composite bonding done. Everyone is so kind, helpful and great at what they do.
Frequently asked questions
What Causes Smoker’s Lines?
Smokers’ lines do not always come about from smoking. They’re also sometimes referred to as kiss lines or lipstick lines. The cause of these lines is often a combination of the natural ageing process, the depletion of naturally occurring collagen and elastin proteins, and repeated facial movements.
What Is Anti-wrinkle?
Anti-wrinkle is a branded product containing Botulinum-A Toxin, a neurotoxic protein that blocks nerve transmissions and relaxes muscles at the injection site. Outside of facial aesthetics, Anti-wrinkle is commonly used elsewhere in medicine to treat migraines, relieve spasms, and more.
Even though it has ‘toxin’ in its name, Botulinum-A Toxin is safe when injected by a skilled and experienced professional. Side effects are minimal. You may experience some flu-like symptoms and swelling around the treatment site; however, these side effects will pass within days.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid (HA) to provide volume to your skin. HA is a safe solution commonly found in the human body. When injected into sunken and wrinkled skin, HA attracts water molecules to restore plumpness.
