About the Condition
Discover effective treatments to smooth vertical lip lines
Vertical lip lines, sometimes referred to as perioral lines, are fine vertical wrinkles that develop around the mouth. Although commonly associated with smoking, these lines can also result from the normal ageing process, repetitive lip movements (like pursing the lips), and lifestyle factors. Over time, declining levels of collagen and elastin make the skin less resilient, allowing these dynamic wrinkles to become more pronounced and remain visible at rest.
Whether you’re noticing subtle lines or more pronounced wrinkles around the mouth, Smooth Dimensions offers tailored solutions designed to soften these lines and restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Condition Causes
Common causes for vertical lip lines
Vertical lip lines primarily arise from the repeated puckering of the lips, often linked to smoking but also triggered by other habitual lip movements. As the skin naturally loses collagen and elastin with age, these lines can become static and deepen. Environmental factors such as UV exposure and pollution accelerate the breakdown of skin-supporting structures, while lifestyle choices like smoking and dehydration further compromise skin integrity. Genetics may also determine how early or prominently these lines develop.
Understanding these causes is essential for choosing the most effective approach to reducing vertical lip lines.
