Smokers Lines
Skin Care Treatment for Smokers Lines
Fine vertical lines around the lips? These may be smoker’s lines.
Smoker’s lines are fine vertical creases above the upper lip, often caused by movement and skin ageing. We support smoother skin through clinical treatments.
Smoker’s lines are fine vertical wrinkles that appear above the upper lip, often deepening over time with repeated lip movement, skin ageing, and lifestyle habits. While commonly associated with smoking, these lines also occur in non-smokers due to natural ageing and facial expression.
At The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, we take a gentle, personalised approach to help soften the appearance of smoker’s lines and support smoother skin in this delicate area.
Contributing Factors:
A number of factors may contribute to the development and persistence of smoker’s lines.
Repetitive Movement: Regular lip activity, such as sipping, speaking, or puckering, can etch fine lines into the skin.
Smoking: Combines both repetitive movement and exposure to free radicals, accelerating skin breakdown.
Skin Ageing: Collagen and elastin loss leads to reduced skin structure and more visible lines.
Sun Exposure: UV rays damage skin proteins, especially in areas like the upper lip with thinner skin.
Dehydration: Dry, undernourished skin is more likely to show fine creasing.
Facial Anatomy: Some people are naturally more prone to vertical lip creases due to lip shape and skin type.
These lines can vary in severity and are often most visible during expression.
Our goal is not to erase movement but to support the skin with treatments that improve hydration, resilience, and surface texture, tailored to your unique skin condition and facial structure.
Treatment Approach
Managing smoker’s lines begins with a consultation to assess the depth of the lines, your skin’s hydration and elasticity, and any contributing habits or structural factors. Based on this, we may suggest treatments that gently improve surface texture, encourage collagen support, or restore hydration, all without compromising your natural facial movement.
Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some FAQ's about Smokers Lines. If you have any other questions, please give us a call or request a Consultation today.
What exactly are smoker’s lines?
Smoker’s lines are vertical creases above the upper lip caused by repeated motion and reduced skin elasticity. Despite the name, they affect both smokers and non-smokers.
Do I have to stop smoking to treat them?
Quitting smoking can significantly help prevent further skin ageing, but treatment is still possible regardless. We can also support skin resilience going forward.
Can treatments soften smoker’s lines without adding volume to the lips?
Yes. Many approaches focus purely on improving skin texture and elasticity without changing lip shape or size.
Are smoker’s lines preventable?
Daily sun protection, proper hydration, and reducing repetitive lip movement can help, though some people are naturally more prone due to skin type.
How soon will I see a difference?
Results depend on the treatment plan. Some clients notice improved texture quickly, while deeper changes may develop gradually over weeks.
