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.

Having not been to dentist in years I was very nervous but my dentist Laraeb Nawaz made me feel totally at ease and talked me through everything that I needed done, she is lovely and a credit to Love Teeth. All the staff have been so nice, welcoming and attentive. Thank you for all looking after me.
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.
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 ❤️
For me to go to the dentist is a miracle, im a cry and run patient. Deryn was amazing made me feel totally at ease and was kind and caring. I was shocked at the atmosphere as previous experience had ruined me. Its a lovely friendly place with no dentist sound and smell. Tailored made treatment. Cannot recommend enough. Also 1st time ever going to a dentist on my own, im 55 😁 so tells you what this place has.
Wonderful wonderful wonderful! I am so impressed with the incredibly kind, professional staff at this amazing practice.We booked in for a check up and was absolutely delighted when we went in to find a child-centric, relaxed atmosphere where my son felt comfortable. The theming of the waiting room is fantastic, and makes a trip to the dentist an exciting experience for a child, rather than a dreaded one, he even looked forward to returning for his filling! Cannot recommend this place enough, definitely a win for Love Teeth.
I’ve just finished my Invisalign treatment and am thrilled with the results. All the staff are friendly and polite, always ready to help with any questions. The surgery looks and smells amazing, I can not recommend Love Teeth enough! Dr KP is an absolute perfectionist and the work I have had done alongside my Invisalign (veneers, gum lasering and contouring) looks absolutely amazing. Thank you to to all 😁
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!
I straightened my teeth through Invisalign with Love Teeth and also had 2 dental implants with them. Both experiences were as good as it gets. The staff are amazing and the dental specialists very reassuring. Fantastic service overall and good value for money if you want to be sure you get the proper dental treatments.
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.
