Dealing with Smoking-Related Premature Ageing

Smokers’ can expect their skin to look less youthful as a direct consequence of their habit:

• Fine lines appear at an earlier age
• Deeper wrinkles around the eyes
• Lines appear on and around the mouth, known as ‘smokers’ lines’
• The skin develops a grey pallor
• Jowls start to sag earlier

It’s enough to put many people off altogether and without a doubt, one of the best things you can do for your skin is to stop smoking. Even if you’ve been smoking for years, stopping at any point is beneficial for your health and your skin.  If you can’t stop, cut down – every cigarette less is better for your health and your skin.

Here are some good resources to help you quit smoking:

Premature Ageing Skin

When skin looks older than it really is and lines start to appear, there are treatments that can help to refresh the appearance and rejuvenate the skin. Popular options include:

• Botox anti-ageing injections – to relax the lines and wrinkles, creating a smoother appearance
• Dermal fillers – smokers develop particularly deep lines between the nose and mouth which can be smoothed over with dermal fillers. Dermal fillers can also be used to refresh specific areas such as:
  • Nose to Mouth Lines
  • Tear Troughs
• Lip enhancement fillers – replenishing lost volume in and around the lips evens out the unsightly smokers’ lip lines
