I had deep wrinkles on lips treated with CO2 laser. How long will my upper lip area stay red?

Many months
Redness from CO2 lasering can take many months to resolve. Meantime, use cover-up to disguise the redness. It will eventually go away but not as quickly as you would like. Hopefully you will not have hypopigmentation (paleness) in the end.
