Perioral Lines

Perioral lines, also known as smoker’s lines, are the vertical wrinkles that appear around the mouth and lips as a person ages. Perioral lines are created through the activity of the underlying orbicularis orris muscle and the natural process of ageing with a loss of volume and elasticity in the skin around the mouth. Perioral lines can also be caused by a combination of other factors, including repetitive muscle movements (such as puckering the lips), as well as the natural ageing processes that reduce skin elasticity, exposure to environmental factors such as sun damage, and smoking.

Perioral lines can be very frustrating for those who have them, as they can make a person appear older and give the impression of an unhealthy lifestyle. This is why many people turn to cosmetic treatments like perioral line Botox to help reduce the appearance of these lines and restore a more youthful and vibrant appearance to the face. Botulinum Toxin (sometimes known as Botox®) can be injected to relax the muscle fibres surrounding the mouth to help smoothen out the skin and reduce the appearance of perioral lines. In some cases, this can be supplemented by small volumes of dermal filler which may further help to improve the skin in this area.
