Upper lip lines
‘smoker’s lines’

Upper lip lines are fine vertical lines around the upper lip that develop from repeated lip movement (talking, pursing, using a straw) and skin ageing. With a small, carefully controlled dose of botulinum toxin type A we can subtly relax the muscle activity, often making lines look softer — while keeping a natural expression.

About the treatment

For upper lip lines, finesse matters. We use micro-dosing to avoid stiffness and keep the result natural.

  • Natural expression
  • Quick treatment
  • Review & fine-tuning

Important to know

Upper lip lines are not only muscle-related — skin quality and volume also play a role. That’s why we may recommend a combination (e.g., skin boosters, microneedling, or a small filler touch) for the best result. During the consultation we choose what’s medically and aesthetically smartest for you.

What to expect

When will I see results?

Usually after 3–7 days. Optimal effect around 10–14 days.

How long does it last?

On average 2–3 months. With consistent treatments, results can be more stable.

Will my lip feel ‘stiff’?

Not with proper dosing. We treat conservatively to keep speaking and smiling natural.

Our approach

1. Free consultation

We assess your lip movement, skin quality and the type of lines.

2. Plan

Micro-dosing and injection points tailored to your expression.

3. Treatment

Small injections above the upper lip. Duration ± 10–15 minutes.

4. Review

After 2–4 weeks we evaluate and fine-tune if needed.

Aftercare

  • Stay upright for the first 4 hours (avoid lying flat).
  • Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours.
  • Do not massage or rub the upper lip area for 24 hours.
  • Avoid sauna/steam room and alcohol in the first 24 hours.

Safety & possible side effects

Possible: redness, mild swelling or a small bruise. Because this is the mouth area, we work very precisely and conservatively. If you have concerns, contact us.

Frequently asked questions

Will it work if my lines are deep?+

For deeper lines, a combination with skin improvement (skin boosters/microneedling) or a small filler touch is often more effective. We’ll advise honestly.

Can I eat and drink right after?+

Yes. Just avoid rubbing/massaging the upper lip area for 24 hours.

Can I go back to work right away?+

Usually yes. Small injection marks may be briefly visible.

Is this the same as a lip flip?+

It can overlap, but the goal is different. A lip flip focuses on subtle lip eversion; upper lip lines focus on softening lines via micro-relaxation.
