Fraxel re:pair for smokers lip lines gives long lasting results

Steven F. Weiner, MD answers: Best way to get rid of smoker lines on upper lip?

Am not really a big smoker, just socially on weekends at most. That has not stoped smoker lines from showing on upper lips area. What can I do to repair besides stop smoking? Botox perhaps?

I use Fraxel re:pair CO2 laser for correcting upper lip lines.

If done as an isolated procedure, it can be done in less than 5 minutes with minimal discomfort, and no need for oral sedation or pain medication.

Sometimes, 2 treatments might be needed, but I have had good results with just one aggressive treatment.

Results should last about 5 years. You will have redness up to 2 months.

This is a very cost effective, and in my opinion, better-looking result, particularly for the deep lines.
