Smokers lines treatment in Derby, Whatever you want to call them, smoker’s lines, lip lines, or lipstick lines these wrinkles
are common and hated by all! Contrary to what the name suggests, you don’t have to
be a smoker to suffer these lines.
What Are Smoker’s Lines?
They’re the tiny vertical wrinkles that appear on your upper lip and run upward toward
your nose
What causes smokers lines?
Smoking is the obvious one and also includes vaping! The repeated action of sucking
through a cigarette or vape encourages the formation of the lines. The toxins in
cigarettes don’t help either! They speed up the breakdown of collagen and elastin,
which are two of the main things that keep our skin nice and supple.
Sucking on a straw, pouting, playing a musical instrument such as a flute or any
other repeated action that causes us to purse our lips is another issue in the formation
of these lines. As we age we naturally lose collagen and elastin and the lines that were
originally only there when we performed the pouting action start to stick around.
How do we treat smokers lines?
Lip fillers
When you mention lip filler many people’s reaction is one of reluctance. The image of
huge lips comes to mind and particularly for the older client is quite off putting. It’s all
about the application. You only get big lips if that’s what you want to achieve and
regularly have filler inserted. We aim to give you a subtle effect initially inserting
between 0-55-1.0ml. That amount injected to both lips just gives a slight plumping
effect and increases hydration to the area relaxing the lines that you hate!
The filler is made from hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the skin,
treatment from one of our fully trained nurses is both quick and easy and the results
long lasting- up to a year. There are some possible risks to the procedure such as
swelling and bruising and a very rare risk of blockage to a blood vessel which we would
explain fully at a free no obligation consultation. The procedure can be a little
uncomfortable so we use a numbing cream first to help things along.
Toxin
A small amount of botox can also help relax the lines, we only put a tiny amount in as
we want you to still be able to smile properly and form words that require that movement
from your lips.
Medical grade chemical peels
A peel is essentially a strong form of exfoliation that removes the dead skin cells. This
reveals a fresh, smooth layer underneath. They are not only helpful for mild facial lines
and wrinkles, but also good for dull complexions, pigmentation and acne.
How can you prevent smokers lines from returning or even starting in the first
place?
Good skin care including cleansing, exfoliation and moisturizing. Your skin
deserves TLC.
Minimize Sun Exposure
Try to keep your face out of the sun and use a high SPF cream on your face and SPF balm on
your lips
Stop Smoking!
We know it’s easier said than done but the long term health effects for your skin and
body will be amazing!
Be Mindful Of Facial Movements
We are not telling you to stop kissing,!! But think about the other things you do.
Most non-smokers with lip lines are those who tend to contract their lips a lot when they
speak, Because lip lines are often rooted in our facial movements, the less you pout
your lips, the smoother they’ll stay. Avoiding drinking from sports top water bottles and
sipping through a straw
