Treating Lip Lines Without Injectables: What You Need to Know
Fine lines around the mouth — often called “lip lines” or “smoker’s lines” — are one of the most common ageing concerns we hear about at Platinum Cosmetics. They can develop even if you’ve never smoked, and often seem to appear suddenly in your late 30s or 40s.
While many people think injectable treatments are the only solution, that’s not the case. We offer a non-invasive option that supports your skin naturally: Fotona laser for lip rejuvenation.
Here’s how these lines form, and what we do to treat them safely and gradually.
Why Lip Lines Develop
The skin around the mouth is in constant motion — talking, eating, smiling — and over time, that movement, combined with natural collagen loss, leads to vertical lines above and below the lips.
These lines can be caused or accelerated by:
Collagen breakdown with age
Sun exposure
Genetics and facial structure
Smoking or repetitive lip movements
Poor barrier function or dehydration
Once they form, topical creams usually aren’t enough to soften them — but that doesn’t mean you need to jump to injectables.
How We Treat Lip Lines With Laser
Our Fotona laser treatments offer a gentle, effective option for treating perioral lines without downtime or needles.
We use Fotona LipLase, a non-ablative Er:YAG laser treatment that stimulates collagen in and around the lips. This helps:
Soften vertical lip lines
Improve hydration and elasticity
Gently plump the lip border over time
Create smoother skin texture without fillers
Because LipLase works with your skin’s own regeneration process, results build progressively — not overnight — and look natural, not overdone.
What to Expect From Treatment
Comfortable, no-needle session (usually 20–30 minutes)
A warm, tingling sensation during treatment
Mild redness or swelling may follow, but most return to daily activities immediately
Best results seen after 3–4 sessions spaced 2–3 weeks apart
Who Is It Suitable For?
Fotona LipLase is ideal for:
Mild to moderate perioral lines
Clients who want natural rejuvenation without injectables
Early ageing prevention
Supporting lip definition and structure without volume fillers
It’s also an excellent option for maintaining results after previous treatments, or for clients who prefer a gradual, non-invasive approach.
