See what our patients are saying about smoker’s lines Botox.
How it works, how to prep, and what to expect—consider this your roadmap to smoother, more refined-looking lips.
Your Botox appointment for smoker’s lines at LaserAway is designed to be precise, efficient, and tailored to your facial anatomy.
During treatment, Botox is injected into targeted points around the mouth using ultra-fine needles to relax the muscles responsible for vertical lip lines. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. Sessions are scheduled for 30 minutes, with the treatment itself taking about 10–15 minutes.
After treatment, mild redness, swelling, or small bumps may appear but typically fade within about 30 minutes.
You’ll start to notice improvements within 2–3 days, with full results appearing around two weeks. Results typically last two to four months, depending on your metabolism and dosage.
Proper preparation helps Botox for smoker’s lines deliver the best results.
Before your appointment, your clinician will review your medical history and treatment goals to ensure Botox is right for you. Avoid alcohol and certain medications that may increase bruising, as directed by your provider.
After treatment, following aftercare instructions helps support optimal results and reduce the risk of irritation.
Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles responsible for movement. When the perioral muscles relax, the appearance of fine vertical lip lines is reduced, creating smoother-looking skin around the mouth.

Botox for smokers lines is a treatment for the small vertical lines around the lips that form from repeated lip movement over time. At LaserAway, this area is treated through the orbicularis oris muscle.
Botox for smokers lines typically lasts about 3 to 4 months, though timing can vary based on your metabolism, dose, and treatment plan.
Botox for lip lines usually starts working in about 2 to 3 days, with peak results around 2 weeks.
No. At LaserAway, vertical lip lines Botox is treated as an add-on area, not a standalone bookable treatment. Because patients must treat at least 20 units total to book a neuromodulator appointment, this area is typically paired with other Botox areas.
Botox works by relaxing the muscle around the mouth so it does not contract as strongly. That can soften the look of vertical lip lines caused by repeated puckering and lip movement.
At LaserAway, the suggested max dose for vertical lip lines is 4 units total, or 2 units per side. Your clinician will tailor treatment to your anatomy, movement, and goals.
For vertical lip lines, Botox is placed near the upper lip in the orbicularis oris area.
Most patients find Botox for smokers lines very tolerable. The injections are quick and use a very small needle.
It depends on what is causing the lines. Botox is often better when the lines are mainly caused by repeated muscle movement around the mouth. Filler may be a better fit when the lines are more etched in or related to volume loss. In some cases, the best plan may involve both.
Botox can be a good option for smokers lines when the goal is to soften movement-related vertical lines around the mouth. It is usually best for dynamic lines, not severe volume loss or very deep static lines.
Vertical lip lines Botox is typically treated as an add-on area at LaserAway. This area usually uses up to 4 units total, but patients must treat at least 20 units total to book a neuromodulator appointment, so pricing depends on the full treatment plan.
Botox is typically considered a cosmetic treatment and is not covered by insurance.
