Hyaluronic acid
A filler treatment for so-called smoker's lines is designed to reduce the vertical wrinkles above the lip. These lines develop due to ageing and movement of the muscles around the mouth, among other things. By injecting hyaluronic acid fillers into the fine lines, volume is restored and the skin is made smoother.
Although the name suggests they only occur in smokers, smoker's lines can develop in anyone due to the natural ageing process, sun damage or frequent contraction of the lip muscles, such as when talking or drinking through a straw. This treatment is suitable for people who notice that the wrinkles above the lip are becoming deeper, which can result in an aged or stern appearance. A treatment with fillers can provide a solution. It is an effective way to rejuvenate the area around the mouth without drastic changes to the face. This treatment is suitable for both early and deeper lines and can be combined with other treatments for a harmonious result.
The treatment
Prior to the treatment, an extensive consultation takes place in which we discuss your wishes, expectations and the risks of the treatment. The physician analyses your face and determines how much filler is needed for a natural result. After applying a numbing cream, the physician places small injections in the lines. The filler is evenly distributed to subtly fill the folds. The treatment takes approximately 20-25 minutes in total.
The result is immediately visible, although slight swelling or redness in the treated area is possible. After 1 to 2 weeks, the fillers have fully settled and the final result is visible. The lines will be less deep and the skin will have a smoother and younger appearance. The fillers remain effective for an average of 9 to 12 months, depending on your metabolism and lifestyle. Regular follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain the effect.
Safety
Fillers are generally very safe when performed by an experienced physician using high-quality products. Possible side effects include swelling, bruising or redness, which usually subside within a few days. In rare cases, an infection, allergic reaction or vascular occlusion may occur.
Before a treatment with filler, it is important to avoid blood-thinning medication, such as aspirin, for a few days beforehand to minimise bruising. Always consult a physician before stopping this type of medication. After the treatment, we recommend not touching or massaging the treated area. Additionally, it is advised to avoid physical exertion for the first 24 hours, as well as sunbeds and saunas. Always follow the physician's specific instructions for optimal results and recovery.

FAQ
No, despite the name, these fine vertical lines above the upper lip can also develop due to ageing, sun damage or repeated lip movements. They occur in both smokers and non-smokers.
A thin filler is carefully placed in the fine lines above the upper lip. This fills the lines and makes the skin around the mouth smooth and firm again.
