Fraxel repair for Upper Lip Lines...What's the Cost?
Hi Meri,
You can have your upper lip vertical lines treated with Fraxel repair for about $500. You may need 1 to 3 treatments depending upon how you heal. You should have a touch of Botox injected about one week prior to your Fraxel treatment to maximize your results.
Choose your treating physician carefully.
Good luck and be well.
