Marlboro Lines Process
01
Consultation + Perioral AnalysisExperienced Team line severity + static/dynamic distinction + smoking history + skin quality + filler/peeling need evaluation. Botox alone often insufficient - combined plan.
02
Marking (Micro Points)Upper lip: 2-3 mm above vermillion border - 4-6 symmetric points. Lower lip: 2-3 mm below vermillion border - 4-6 points. Mouth corners DAO excluded.
03
Micro Injection (32G Needle)0.5-1 IU Botox/point × 8-12 points = 4-8 IU total - VERY LOW dose - lip movement must be preserved. Superficial intradermal 2-3 mm depth. Aspiration. If combined: Filler + botox same session or 2-week interval.
04
Aftercare + EffectMild swelling 1-2 hours. Eat/drink 4 hours later. 5-7 day onset + 14 day full + 2-3 month duration (short - active muscle). Maintenance every 2-3 months. Combined PRX-T33 peeling = visible skin quality improvement.

Very rare: Risk for speech professional. Contraindications: Professional wind musicians, professional speaker (relative), breastfeeding (relative - baby), active herpes simplex (high perioral risk), Myasthenia Gravis, pregnancy, botulinum allergy, last lip surgery 3 months, bleeding disorder, anticoagulant.
FAQ
Botox alone enough?
USUALLY NO. Marlboro lines often static (visible at rest) = botox limited effect. Combined mandatory: Botox + HA filler (Belotero Soft / Restylane Refyne) + PRX-T33 / laser / Profhilo. Only dynamic lines formed by smoking sucking/puckering, botox sufficient.
Works without quitting smoking?
Partially. Botox 2-3 month effect - smoking continues = lines return fast. Smoking cessation motivation most important. At TSHEALTH patients advised to quit. UV protection + 50+ SPF critical.
Difference from lip flip?
Lip flip: Upper lip vermillion eversion - visual fullness target. Marlboro: Perioral vertical line relaxation - line target. Two different - if combined full upper lip.
Why effect so short?
Orbicularis oris very active muscle - eating, drinking, talking, smiling, kissing = constantly contracting = botox 2-3 months. Daxxify for longer but not recommended first session.
Filler same session?
YES — commonly done. Botox first + 2-3 minutes later filler (Belotero Soft) or 2-week interval. Experienced Team plans.
PRX-T33 + laser + botox?
IDEAL FULL PROTOCOL. Botox muscle dynamic + PRX-T33 skin quality + fractional laser deep lines + Profhilo HA bio-remodelling = maximum result. 3-6 month treatment plan.
For men?
YES. Male perioral lines also common - high smoking + UV exposure. Similar dose - combined plan.
Pregnancy?
ABSOLUTE CONTRAINDICATION.
Who performs Marlboro Lines Botox Perioral?
Marlboro Lines Botox Perioral and all aesthetic and surgical procedures are planned and personally performed by Op. Dr. Selman Taşkın, Specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. A graduate of İstanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine with reconstructive microsurgery experience at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (Taiwan), Dr. Taşkın's expertise is the foundation of safe, natural results.
How does Botox work and what is it used for?
Botox temporarily relaxes muscle movement to soften expression lines (forehead, between the brows, around the eyes); with the right dose I aim for a lively yet rested look.
Is Botox safe?
With approved products, in expert hands and at the correct dose, Botox is very safe and one of the most performed aesthetic procedures in the world.
How long does Botox last?
The effect usually lasts 4–6 months; with repeated treatments the duration can lengthen as the muscles weaken.
Does Botox look natural or frozen?
My aim is never a frozen face; with a personalised dose and injection plan I preserve expression for a natural, rested appearance.
Is Botox application painful?
Because very fine needles are used the pain is minimal; the procedure takes a few minutes and usually needs no anaesthesia.
When does Botox start to work?
The first effect is seen in 3–5 days and the full result settles in 10–14 days, which is why I review at two weeks.
Does Botox have side effects?
There may be temporary mild redness or bruising at the injection site; with correct technique no serious side effects are expected.
How often should Botox be repeated?
When the effect fades, repetition is usually recommended every 4–6 months; regular treatment prevents lines from deepening.
Does Botox permanently prevent wrinkles?
Early, regular treatment delays expression lines from becoming permanent wrinkles, which is why it is also chosen preventively.
Who can and cannot have Botox?
Most healthy adults are suitable; it is not given to pregnant or breastfeeding women or those with certain neuromuscular conditions, and I assess suitability at the examination.
