Upper lip wrinkles and smoker's lines treated with fillers
Wrinkles above the lip, also known as smoker's lines, are caused by a decrease in lip volume, aging skin, smoking, sun damage, and repeated muscle contractions such as talking. These wrinkles can harden the appearance and are often difficult to camouflage. They are No. 1 of annoyance of facial wrinkles in ladies.
At DokterEs , we offer filler treatments that naturally and effectively soften wrinkles above the lip, without unnaturally enlarging the lip or making the skin above the lip unnaturally more convex. This gives a more youthful and less severe appearance. On this page you can read all about the treatment, results and prices at DokterEs, among other things.
How do fillers help with wrinkles above the lip?
Fillers soften wrinkles above the lip by subtly filling them in. By using hyaluronic acid, the skin is hydrated and smoother. The result is sometimes combined with subtly treating the lips with lip filler. This is because loss of lip volume is one of the causes of wrinkles around the mouth. At DokterEs , we will avoid at all costs treatments in which lips take on an unnatural appearance or the skin above the lip becomes unnaturally bulging.
What is the difference between fillers and botox?
We are frequently asked what the difference is between fillers and botox.
- Fillers restore volume and fill static wrinkles, such as smoker's lines, the nasolabial fold, and drooping corners of the mouth.
- Botox relaxes muscles and is used for dynamic wrinkles caused by movement in the face, such as crow's feet and wrinkles on the forehead. Botox can also be used to soften wrinkles around the mouth.
Often fillers and botox are combined for optimal results. When correcting wrinkles on the upper lip, the lips are often subtly treated with hyaluronic acid fillers as well, for a natural and overall rejuvenating result. Read more about botox or lip fillers.

Wrinkles on the upper lip (smoker's lines)
Wrinkles above the lip are often referred to as smoker's lines because they are more common in smokers, but non-smokers can also experience them. They are caused by:
- Loss of collagen and elastin from the skin around the lip
- Sun damage
- Repeated muscle contractions such as talking, eating, and yes, so also through mouth twitching when smoking.
- Loss of lip volume
These vertical lines give an older appearance, but fortunately are easily and safely treated with hyaluronic acid-based fillers.
