Are you bothered by small wrinkles above your lips that are becoming increasingly visible? With a filler treatment, we can subtly soften these lines
What is a filler treatment for wrinkles above your lip?
For a filler treatment for wrinkles above your lip, also known as smoker's lines, the doctor injects a hyaluronic acid filler into the superficial skin. The filler restores lost volume and supports the skin from within, softening the lines. The result is a fresher, natural look while preserving your facial expressions and significantly reducing wrinkles.
For deep wrinkles, we recommend a combination treatment.
When do you choose fillers for the upper lip?
This treatment may be suitable when smoker's lines above your lip make you look older or sterner than you feel. With fillers, these lines can be softened, making the skin appear smoother. The result typically remains visible for a longer period, often up to about a year. For deeper or long-standing wrinkles, the treatment may need to be more intensive, as the skin structure has changed more significantly.
During a no-obligation consultation, you discuss your wishes with the doctor. The skin above your lip will be assessed, and you will receive honest advice about a filler treatment. This way, you know exactly what to expect.
Before the treatment, the doctor will calmly go through the steps with you. Your skin will be cleansed, and an anesthetic cream will be applied. This allows us to start cleanly and comfortably.
With an ultra-thin needle, we fill the small lines above your lip with a hyaluronic acid filler. At the same time, the contours of your lips are strengthened to prevent further aging. The treatment takes about 15 minutes, and the doctor briefly massages the area above the lip to distribute the filler.
After the massage, you can cool the treated area yourself to reduce swelling or bruising. If desired, you can quietly recover at the clinic. The doctor will discuss with you what you can and cannot do in the coming hours and days, so you know how best to deal with the treated area.
Our doctors always strive for a natural and meticulous result. If necessary, we will provide a small free touch-up within reason, so that the final result perfectly matches your expectations.

If anything makes you look older, it's smoking. The use of your mouth muscles when inhaling a cigarette creates lines around the mouth. These wrinkles above the lip are commonly known as 'smoker's lines' or 'barcode lines'. The most remarkable thing is that these 'barcode lines' also appear in non-smokers. This is often genetically determined or due to skin aging and becoming less flexible. The good news is that these wrinkles above the lip (smoker's lines) – especially early ones – can be effectively treated with fillers.
The Body Clinic provides targeted 'point injections' exclusively into the radial lip lines. This ensures that the upper lip does not become thicker, and only the fine lines are filled.
At The Body Clinic, a filler treatment for smoker's lines and lip lines costs €650.
A filler treatment for smoker's lines is considered uncomfortable because the upper lip and the area above it are sensitive. On a scale of 0-10, the pain is around a 5-6. You will feel several small pricks as the filler is injected. To make the treatment more comfortable, a numbing cream is often applied approximately 30 minutes beforehand. In addition, most fillers themselves contain an anesthetic (lidocaine), which further numbs the area during the treatment. After the treatment, the area may be sensitive for a few hours, but this usually subsides quickly. Most people find the treatment well-tolerated.
Unfortunately, we cannot always make all wrinkles disappear. Sometimes, minor scars are present in the skin. A peel or microdermabrasion might help with this. Nevertheless, a treatment with a filler, especially in combination with the lip lines, can certainly provide a significant improvement in this area.
Often, at The Body Clinic, we treat both lip lines. Increased firmness in these lines will also result in fewer lines around the mouth. This is because these lines are caused by a decrease in the volume and firmness of the lips.
The result of a filler treatment for smoker's lines is almost immediately visible. After the treatment, you will instantly notice that the lines are softer and the area appears smoother. The final result will be visible after 7-14 days, once any swelling has completely subsided and the filler has properly settled into the skin. In the first few days, the area might be slightly swollen, making the result appear a bit fuller than it will ultimately be. The effect generally lasts for 12 months.
