Overview

Smoker’s lines

What are Smoker’s lines?

Smoker’s lines refer to the fine lines and wrinkles that occur around the mouth when we pucker our lips. As we get older, these lines may become a permanent fixture on the face. This is because the skin becomes less able to repair itself, largely because levels of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin decrease within the skin as we get older. This leaves the skin less able to repair itself from repetitive puckering motions.

What are the causes of smokers’ lines?

Smokers’ lines are caused by years of smoking. The repeated muscle movements that happen when a person smokes a cigarette cause the skin around the mouth to wrinkle.

How can smokers’ lines be prevented?

There is no guaranteed way to prevent smokers’ lines, but quitting smoking is the best thing you can do to reduce your risk. Additionally, using sun protection and moisturizers may help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Quit smoking

If you are a smoker and are concerned about developing smokers’ lines, quitting smoking is the best way to prevent them. If you have already developed wrinkles, there are treatments available that can help to reduce their appearance. Talk to your doctor about which treatment option may be right for you.

Use sun protection

One of the best ways to prevent any type of wrinkles is to protect your skin from the sun. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and wear protective clothing when you are outdoors.

Moisturize your skin

Keeping your skin hydrated can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Use a moisturizer that is designed for your skin type and apply it daily.

What are treatments available for smokers’ lines?

If you have already developed wrinkles, there are treatments available that can help to reduce their appearance. Some options include:

Anti-ageing injections – can help to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles.
Dermal fillers – Dermal fillers can help to plump up the skin and smooth out wrinkles.
Laser resurfacing: This procedure uses a laser to remove the top layer of skin, which can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Microneedling is a treatment that uses small needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This can help to stimulate collagen production and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Skin tightening procedures such as Ultraformer 3, can help to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Chemical peels – Chemical peels can help to remove the top layer of skin.

Which treatment is right for you?

This will depend on the severity of your lip wrinkles (smoker lines) and your personal preferences. The first step is to consult our resident dermatologist, Dr Hiba Injibar, to discuss your options. She will be able to advise you on the best treatment for your individual case.

Dr Hiba saved me. I need to see someone urgently about a fast growing/change growth under my eye. Dr Hiba took me in on her break. She did a wonderful job on removing the growth at a sensitive area. Stitches out this morning and it is almost invisible. Professional, soft-spoken – could not recommend her enough!

I had nose Surgery with Dr Hiba Injibar. I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation, it was apparent that Dr Hiba Injibar has a lot of experience in the procedure which made me feel very secure. She was very clear about what can be done and was also very attentive to my requests. I would not want anyone else to operate me 🙂 I Recommend 100%.

I had my first Ultraformer HIFU treatment at Dermasurge today with Manuela and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Manuela was incredibly professional, patient and reassuring throughout the whole session. She explained every step clearly and made sure I was comfortable, allowing breaks whenever needed and chatting with me to distract from the more intense parts of the treatment. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was.

The treatment itself was thorough and carefully done — I felt confident I was in very experienced hands. Manuela took her time and made sure every area was treated properly, which gave me a lot of trust in the process.

Dermasurge has a very professional and calm environment, and I’m looking forward to seeing my results over the next few weeks and continuing my treatment plan. Highly recommend Manuela if you’re considering HIFU treatment.

Had a consultation today with Doctor Hiba, and so far very pleased with her recommendation and explanation about my treatments she suggested which is Subcision and CO2 laser resurfacing according to my skin concerns (Acne scarring and few traumatic scars). Also would like to say that Girls at the reception are very welcoming and made me feel valued. Very excited, and will update more information after outcome of my treatment. So far very happy with their service and can’t wait to see results ☺️

Dr. Hiba removed a dermal piercing for me and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. She was compassionate, kind, caring, and completely honest throughout the entire process. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me full confidence in her care.

Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.

Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.

We have used Dermasurge for our two children and the level of service from all staff goes above and beyond. They are polite, personable and knowledgeable. The speed of service is also very good. We have used other dermatologists before and can note that the Dermasurge team are far better.

I had several seborrheic keratosis removed and one unusual skin growth excised and biopsied. The procedure was quick, painless and healed well. Dr Hiba and her staff were all friendly and kind and followed up quickly on my questions. I would use this dermatologist again.

I’ve been attending Dermasurge for the past 4 months for laser and Botox treatments. The staff are all very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. An excellent TEAM!
Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.

Everyone at this clinic is really nice and what I like most about Dr Hiba is that she did not try to sell me something, instead she listened to my concerns and recommended a treatment that had my best interests at heart. And i am very pleased with the results.

I had acne in my twenties. Dr. Hiba did a great consultation and prescribed medication that successfully healed my acne. I feel so much more confident in my skin today and am super grateful for the treatment I received. Also, the whole team at Dermasurge is super lovely. Thank you, Dermasurge!

My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.

The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
