Smoker's lines

The vertical wrinkles around the lips, commonly referred to as ‘smoker’s lines,’ ‘smoker’s wrinkles,’ or ‘barcode,’ arise due to volume loss in the lips and the surrounding area. Treatment with Botox or fillers can beautifully soften these wrinkles.

The loss of skin volume can be beautifully replenished with fillers. The lines fade, and the lips regain a more youthful appearance. Restoring the volume and contour of the lips also has a softening effect on these wrinkles.

Another reason for these wrinkles is the tension in the superficial muscles in the skin that develops with age, as we constantly use our lips during talking and for facial expressions. Through a few very shallow injections with Botox, the superficial skin muscles can relax, allowing the area to rest, and the skin naturally smoothens.

A filler treatment for smoker’s lines involves a series of very superficial injections to fill in the wrinkles. This treatment typically takes an average of 15-20 minutes. You can choose, in consultation with your doctor, to have a local anesthetic to minimize any discomfort during the procedure. After the treatment, the doctor will provide advice on proper aftercare, and you will be invited for a free follow-up after a few weeks.

Treatment for smoker’s lines is often included as part of a Liquid Facelift.

In a liquid facelift, the focus is not only on areas like the nasolabial folds or crow’s feet; rather, it involves treating the entire face as a unified whole. Wrinkles are softened, and youthful contours are restored, giving the appearance of a “lifted” skin. The result is akin to what you would achieve by gently pulling the skin from the cheeks towards the ears.

How does a filler treatment work?

Step 1: The Consultation

During the initial consultation, we will discuss your preferences and treatment options. Based on a few questions about your medical background, we will determine if you are a suitable candidate for a filler treatment.

Through a comprehensive analysis of your skin, we will identify areas eligible for filler treatment and recommend products suitable for your skin type.

At Dokter Brandt, our focus is on achieving a natural and subtle result. That’s why we often advise against excessive treatment in one session. You can always return for a ‘touch-up’ later.

In the first consultation, our goal is to provide you with complete information about the treatment and the expected results. It is crucial that your expectations align with the anticipated outcomes. We will always offer honest advice to collaboratively create a well-informed treatment plan.

Step 2: The Treatment

A filler treatment is straightforward and typically takes only 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. Approximately half an hour before the treatment, the assistant or the doctor will apply a numbing cream to the areas to be treated. Through a series of strategic injections with a very thin needle, the doctor will add extra volume to the chosen areas until the desired effect is achieved. You will see immediate results.

To clearly document the outcome of the treatment, photos will be taken for your medical record.

Step 3: The Check-up

After the treatment, you can resume your daily activities immediately. Please be aware that your skin may show some slight swelling and redness, which gradually diminishes and is typically gone within a few hours. The doctor will provide you with post-treatment tips for proper aftercare.

In the days following the treatment, the effect may further enhance due to the filler’s moisture-absorbing nature. This achieves a healthy and voluminous effect that accentuates specific areas of your face. The filling effect of the filler varies depending on the region and the firmness of the gel used. On average, the filling effect of the filler can last 12-18 months.

Hyaluronic acid is naturally broken down by the body into its own substances. After this process, you can safely repeat the treatment as needed.
