Life is full of reasons to smile, but the act of smiling can cause lines to form around your mouth. Smile lines, also known as laugh lines, are the deep lines on either side of the lower half of your face that extend out from the mouth.
These lines appear because of the repeated muscle actions caused when you smile. They tend to be more pronounced on older people and people who are slim and don’t have much facial fat. Though some people see them as a sign of a life full of laughter, others feel their smile lines make them look older than they really are.

Treating Smile Lines
The repetitive motion of smiling causes the skin to become lax, creating permanent creases.
Smiling also wears down the tissue in that area of the face, creating a line that remains even after you stop smiling.
As part of the ageing process, the skin loses fat and elasticity, making the appearance of smile lines worse.
Thankfully, it is possible to reduce the appearance of these unwanted creases.
We can soften the appearance of smile lines by treating the skin.
This treatment aims to smooth out smile lines to help you look more refreshed.
Who Is Suitable To Have Laugh Line Treatment?
Candidates for smile line treatments are women or men who are bothered by lines and wrinkles in the lower face. If you have particularly deep skin folds around your mouth and wish they were not so prominent, a smile line treatment may be right for you. Most adults in good overall health can undergo this restorative treatment.
What Causes Smile Lines?
Smile lines form due to the natural loss of volume as we age.
The area around the mouth and eyes are the most animated when we smile, causing creases to form.
Over time, these creases become noticeable even when you have a resting facial expression.
Smile lines can appear more prominent when the fat pads in the face start to descend as part of the ageing process.
Although laugh lines are a natural part of the ageing process, sun damage and certain lifestyle choices can cause them to appear more noticeable.
