Lip Lines (Smoker’s Lines) Treatment
Lip Lines (Smoker's Lines) Treatment in Lee's Summit, MO
Restore a Smooth, Youthful Smile at Skin Fit Medical Spa
Fine vertical lines around the lips, often referred to as smoker’s lines or lip lines, can appear as a result of repetitive facial movements, sun exposure, or the natural aging process. Whether you smoke or not, these lines above the lips can make your skin look tired and affect how lipstick sits. At Skin Fit Medical Spa in Lee’s Summit, we offer precise neurotoxin injections with Botox®, Dysport®, or Jeuveau® to help soften these creases and restore smoother, more youthful-looking lips.
These gentle injections work by relaxing the small muscles around the mouth that cause fine wrinkles. The result is a refreshed, natural appearance; your expressions remain soft and genuine, but those unwanted lip lines fade noticeably.
What Causes Lip Lines (Smoker's Lines)?
Smoker’s lips can form even if you’ve never smoked. They develop from repeated puckering, loss of collagen, and environmental stressors such as UV exposure. As the skin around the mouth thins with age, fine lines turn into deeper creases. While topical products can help improve texture, only neurotoxins can address the muscle movement responsible for creating these wrinkles.
How Botox®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau® Help
Neurotoxin treatments, such as Botox®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau®, work by temporarily relaxing the muscles in the glabellar area, specifically the orbicularis oris muscle surrounding the lips. When these muscles relax, the overlying skin smooths out, reducing the appearance of smoker’s lips and lip lines.
Our expert injectors in Lee’s Summit use advanced techniques to ensure natural, subtle improvements. You’ll notice smoother skin and a softer lip contour, with reduced stiffness and a more natural expression. For some, smoker lines fillers may also be recommended to restore lost volume and further enhance the results.
What to Expect During Treatment
The treatment is quick and comfortable. After a consultation, your injector will cleanse the skin and administer small, precise injections above the upper lip. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes and feels like a few tiny pinches.
No downtime is required; you can immediately resume your normal activities following your appointment. Mild redness or tenderness may occur but fades within hours.
Results & Recovery
You’ll start to notice smoother lips within three to five days, with full results visible around two weeks after treatment. Most clients enjoy results that last between three and four months. With consistent visits, the lines may continue to fade as muscles stay relaxed and collagen remodeling improves the skin’s texture.

Treatment Options
At Skin Fit Medical Spa, we offer both Dysport® and Botox® to target fine lines and dynamic wrinkles. Both relax facial muscles, but Dysport® tends to diffuse more easily, making it an excellent choice for larger areas like the forehead.
Our injectors may also pair this treatment with dermal fillers, often called a Dysport® filler combination, for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. During your consultation, we’ll discuss whether this approach aligns with your goals for smoother, youthful-looking skin.
