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 Botox 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.
Botox 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.

Beaut practice and welcoming staff! Had a couple composite fillings with Dr Deryn and couldn’t be happier. I’m usually anxious when visiting the dentist but Deryn and Natascha made my experience feel relaxed and comfortable. Staff at front desk are lovely and put me at ease from the get go – thank you Tracey, Eloise and Colette for your support ❤️
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.
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!
2 fillings today, in and out in just 35 minutes. Quick and completely pain free. Great friendly team. By far the best dentist I’ve ever been to. :)
Absolutely fantastic dentist! As a very nervous patient that suffers badly with anxiety due to health problems I have stayed away from dentists for years, Megna is very calming and professional she has made me feel very relaxed, confident and comfortable about having work done, always checking to see if I’m ok whilst working and always telling me what she is doing. I am no longer nervous and am very happy with the work that’s been done. I would 100% recommend Megna and Love teeth Chessington , the reception staff are always very kind and helpful too! I am very grateful to them all. The whole experience has been brilliant. Thank you
I visited Megna for Invisalign treatment and I am incredibly impressed by the quality of treatment and care she has showed. It has been 12 weeks since I started the treatment and have noticed a significant change to my smile. She answers any questions I have and I can see she loves what she does through her diligence in planning my (complex) case!
Top service received from this practice! Doctor Depen is great, he made such a huge transformation and now I’m in love with my new smile. I highly recommend Love Teeth!
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 Botox?
Botox 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, Botox 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.
