Dermabrasion, laser or chemical peels with subcisions do great for upper lip creases.
Dermabrasions, lasers or chemical peels with subcisions of the creases of the upper lip does great and is done under local anesthesia for about $1500-2500/session and may need 1-2 sessions. Sincerely,

Aging lines of the lips
If you ask 10 different surgeons you will get 10 different answers. Without a photo or face to face examination it is impossible to say what would be best in your specific case. In general may favored approach to aging lines of the lip is surface laser (CO2 or Erbium) combined with subcision of the creases with a needle to release them. You can see an example in the referenced web page. I do not like botox in the lips because of the risk of drooling, abnormal smile etc. I do not like fillers...

Vertical wrinkles in your upper lip may be reduced by a well-performed Injectable Filler treatment. Video attached.
Upper lip vertical lines often resemble a "bar-code", and even if you don't smoke, these may become prominent if you have light skin and significant sun-damage. In my practice, these are routinely treated with Injectable Fillers. I prefer Silikon-1000, an off-label filler, for permanent results.
I hope this is helpful for you.
