What are Perioral Lines?

Perioral lines, often referred to as lip lines, smoker’s lines, or lipstick lines, are fine vertical wrinkles that form around the mouth, particularly on the upper lip.

​

They can be caused by smoking or vaping, however often they often appear in non smokers as facial volume depletes with age.

Very fine perioral lines can be treated and prevented with regular Botox. More established lines will require dermal filler for any significant improvement. 

FAQs

How long do the results last?

Typically perioral line filler results last around 8-12 months

When Will I See the Results?

The results are apparent immediately, however it will usually take 2 weeks before the filler settles and swelling is completely resolved.

What is the Downtime?

This will vary from person-to-person. Generally there will be multiple small red/purple dots at the injections points which will heal within a few days which is sometimes associated with mild swelling.

Will it Hurt and How Long Does it Take?

We use a topical numbing cream prior to injecting which is generally very effective. Whilst you can often still feel a small scratch when being injected, it's a generally very well tolerated procedure. The procedure itself can take between 10-20 minutes depending on complexity.
