elegantly smooth out pleats
Pleats, also known as smoker's lines, are fine lines and wrinkles that form around the mouth and often have vertical and horizontal lines. The wrinkles can be caused primarily by smoking cigarettes or other tobacco products. Smoking can damage the skin and accelerate the natural aging process, leading to a loss of elasticity and collagen in the skin. This causes increased wrinkles to form, especially around the mouth area and over the lip line.
If smoker's lines are already pronounced, treatment with hyaluronic acid can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Treatment at a Glance
The treatment
The treatment process begins with a consultation where patients can express their concerns and discuss their expectations. The treating professional will assess the condition of the skin, present possible treatment options and inform patients about the process and possible results.
During the treatment, the area of skin to be treated is cleansed and, if necessary, an anesthetic cream may be applied to minimize any possible discomfort during the injections. The doctor then uses fine needles or flexible cannulas to inject the chosen filler into the smoker's lines and wrinkles. These injections plump up the skin, smooth out the wrinkles and improve the appearance.
