Smoker's Lines
The common term for Vertical lines above or below the lips- these are frequently seen in smokers due to collagen degradation and repeated pursing of the mouth, but can be seen in older ladies due to extreme volume loss of the lips: treatments range from
- Botox - to relax the orbicularis oris muscle
- Fillers - such as Juvederm
- Laser Resurfacing - see SmartXide DOT fractional CO2 resurfacing
Tip --- the best approach is a combination of laser resurfacing and volume restoration of the lips
