Elegantly smoothing pleats
Plissé lines, 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 ageing process, leading to a loss of elasticity and collagen in the skin. This leads to an increase in wrinkles, especially around the mouth and over the lip line.
If smoker's lines are already pronounced, treatment with hyaluronic acid can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

The treatment
The treatment process begins with a consultation where patients can express their concerns and discuss their expectations. The treating specialist will assess the condition of the skin, outline possible treatment options and inform patients about the procedure and possible results.
During the treatment, the area of skin to be treated will be cleansed and, if necessary, an anaesthetic cream may be applied to minimize any discomfort during the injections. The doctor will then use 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 wrinkles and improve the appearance.
