RetinA to Upper Lip Area.

Definitely continue using your RetinA nightly, consider Botox injections to the upper lip as well! The reason you are getting wrinkles is because of muscle movement. Relaxing the upper lip a little with Botox can help solve this problem. Hope this helps. Dr. Grant Stevens
