Skip to content Restore Smooth, Natural-Looking Lips Without Surgery
Fine vertical lines around the mouth, often called lip lines or smoker’s lines, are one of the earliest and most frustrating signs of aging. These lines can make lipstick feather, blur your lip border, and even create a constant “pursed” appearance that looks older than you feel. They’re caused not only by smoking but also by repetitive movements, sun exposure, and collagen loss over time.
At Bare Skin Marin in Kentfield, CA, we offer gentle, precise smoker’s lines treatment using Botox® for lip lines and other advanced injectables. Our approach is designed to smooth fine wrinkles while preserving your natural expressions and lip shape. Whether your goal is subtle refinement or comprehensive rejuvenation, our experts create a treatment plan that restores confidence to your smile, without changing what makes it yours.
Lip lines, also known as smoker’s lines, are fine vertical wrinkles that develop along the upper lip, often extending slightly onto the skin around the mouth. While they’re commonly associated with smoking, they can also form from repetitive movements such as sipping from straws, talking, and natural facial animation.
Over time, the constant movement of the orbicularis oris muscle, the circular muscle around the mouth, combined with collagen breakdown, causes the skin to crease. These small lines can make the lips appear thinner and less defined, affecting your overall facial harmony.
Botox® for lip lines works by relaxing the muscles responsible for these repetitive contractions, smoothing out existing wrinkles, and preventing new ones from forming. When applied with precision, the result is a soft, natural finish that restores youthful smoothness while maintaining your ability to smile, speak, and laugh freely.
Patients love the subtle but noticeable results of Botox® for lip lines, as it restores smoothness and balance without the need for fillers or downtime. When expertly administered, this treatment rejuvenates the delicate lip area while preserving your natural shape and movement.

Your provider maps out the exact injection points where Botox® or other neuromodulators will relax the muscles responsible for vertical creasing. For deeper lines, we may recommend combining this approach with a small amount of filler or collagen-stimulating treatment for added smoothness.
