Face Condition
Smoker’s lines, also known as lipstick lines, are small vertical creases and wrinkles that form along the upper lip. These lines typically run perpendicular to the border of the lip and become more pronounced with age. While commonly referred to as smoker’s lines due to their prevalence among smokers, these wrinkles can affect anyone, particularly older individuals. The condition tends to be more common in women than men, partly because women generally lack the larger hair follicles that men have, which can provide structural support to the skin around the lips.
Several factors contribute to the development of smoker’s lines:
Smoker’s lines can significantly affect one’s appearance, making the lips and surrounding skin look older and less smooth. These lines often become more noticeable when applying lipstick, as the product can settle into the creases, accentuating the wrinkles and creating an unattractive look. The presence of smoker’s lines can also be associated with other signs of ageing around the lower face, such as marionette lines, which run from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin, leading to a sad, droopy appearance.
Treating smoker’s lines effectively requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the underlying causes and improves the skin’s appearance. In London, various advanced aesthetic treatments are available to reduce the appearance of smoker’s lines and restore a more youthful look. Some of the most effective treatments include:
