Smoker's lines treatment with botulinum toxin (Botox®)
Do you have fine lines around your lips, especially when speaking or pursing your lips? These lines develop because we frequently contract our lips in daily life. They are often referred to as "smoker's lines" because they typically occur with this specific movement, but they can appear completely independent of smoking.
With targeted treatment using Botox®, this area can be gently relaxed without affecting the natural function of the lips. The lines appear softer, and the lip area looks overall calmer and more harmonious.
Facial expressions are part of a lively and natural expression. The goal of any treatment is not to change the expression but to gently reduce wrinkles and maintain the natural expressiveness of the face.
