Smoker's wrinkles are vertical lines above the upper lip that deepen with age. It is not just a symptom of smokers, although it occurs most frequently in smokers. It is caused by the specific positioning of the mouth during frequent smoking. Smoker's wrinkles are a major aesthetic problem for women - they make it difficult to apply lipstick correctly, as well as full face make-up.

Why do smoker's wrinkles appear on the face?
As we age, the skin loses elasticity and areas on the face begin to gradually wrinkle. Wrinkles are largely dependent on facial expressions - if you frown frequently on your forehead, you can expect the first signs of ageing to appear there. The same applies to the mouth. Smoking requires the lips to be pouted, which can contribute to wrinkles above the upper lip.

How to remove the wrinkles above the lips?
Smoker's wrinkles, jokingly known as barcode, can be reduced. How? For furrows above the lips, it is worth implementing regular facial yoga into your routine, which can reduce unwanted lines that appear above the lip. Alongside this, it is essential to choose the right anti-wrinkle care, the main use of which will be to smooth the complexion. Unfortunately, home methods can help to smooth the complexion, but they are not effective enough to completely rule out the presence of wrinkles above the lips. For this reason, treatment is recommended to be assisted by aesthetic medicine methods - fillers or laser therapy.
Treatments for the removal of wrinkles above the lips
The most effective method of wrinkle removal is laser therapy, performed thanks to the Fotona Dynamis Sp Pro platform. The most recommended programme for wrinkles is 4d endolifting. As a result of Fotona 4D laser treatment, the facial skin tightens, lifts drooping areas such as the eyelids or cheeks and shallows wrinkles. Reduction is not just about furrows - 4D endolifting also removes any hyperpigmentation, bumps and acne scars. The comprehensive action is an excellent alternative to traditional plastic surgery - it is safer and does not interfere directly with the body.
Mesotherapy for wrinkles
An equally effective treatment for smoker's wrinkles is anti-aging mesotherapy. Anti-aging mesotherapy involves the injection of special preparations (platelet-rich plasma, hyaluronic acid or mesococktail) under the skin using a fine needle. Comprehensive effect of the treatment reduces smoker's wrinkles to zero. As with 4d endolifting, mesotherapy has a comprehensive effect: in addition to tackling the first signs of ageing, the skin is smoothed out and becomes velvety.
Botox for furrows above the lips
Fillersotherwise known as botoks, is an excellent way to get rid of facial and gravity wrinkles. They are particularly recommended for more delicate skin changes, such as crow's feet, 'bunny lines' (i.e. nose wrinkles), forehead lines, lion furrows or the described 'smoker's wrinkles'. In addition, fillers can be used to lift the corner of the mouth, profile the chin, lift the nose or Nefretete lift. The best formulations for smoker's wrinkle treatments are Juvederm and Azzalure. These are high-intensity hyaluronic acid products that have powerful hydrating and smoothing properties.
