Perioral lines Botox uses very small doses of botulinum toxin around the lip border to soften the vertical lines, sometimes called smoker's or lipstick lines, that form from repeated pursing. At Egg Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, a doctor keeps doses low so speaking and drinking feel normal; results show within 1–2 weeks and typically last around 2–3 months.

What is perioral lines Botox?
Perioral lines are fine vertical wrinkles above and sometimes below the lips. They form because the orbicularis oris muscle purses the lips thousands of times a day, when speaking, drinking through a straw or smoking. Sun damage, thinning skin and loss of lip volume with age make them more visible, and lipstick can bleed into them.
Perioral lines Botox places tiny amounts of toxin at several points along the lip border. This softens the pursing action enough to smooth the lines while keeping normal lip function. Because these lines are often partly caused by thin skin and volume loss, the doctor may recommend combining Botox with a skin booster or with smoker's lines fillers for a fuller result.
Who is a good candidate?
- Fine vertical lines above the upper lip
- Lipstick that bleeds into small lines
- Lines that are most visible when you purse your lips
- People wanting a light, low-downtime refresh
Because the lips are needed for speech, eating and drinking, perioral Botox may not suit singers, wind instrument players or people who rely on precise lip movement. Deep lines etched in at rest usually need combined treatment. Treatment is postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding and with cold sores or infection in the area.
