It sounds like fillers are probably the best way to treat perioral lines, but fillers don't last. Other than fillers, which would be a better choice - a deep peel or a laser treatment? I have read that some doctors/clinics perform laser treatments on isolated, problem areas, say the eyes or mouth area, and don't necessarily treat the entire face. Wouldn't that cause the treated area to look "different" than the untreated areas of the face? Thank you.
Answer: Recommend doing CO2 laser to help reduce appearance of these lines.

Answer: Perioral lines Without photos and more information a specific recommendation is not possible. Usually fillers such as Belotero Balance or Volbella, work very well for the perioral vertical lines and fine wrinkles. These treatments injected properly usually last a year or longer. If the wrinkling is more significant, a deep resurfacing procedure may be a good option. I personally recommend a deep chemical peel (phenol-croton oil), if you can find an experienced doctor. Lasers have a tendency to produce a hypo-pigmentation if the deep lines are treated. Please consult with an experienced facial plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Answer: Best treatment for perioral lines There are numerous treatments for perioral lines and depending on how many, how deep and etched they are would determine which method or methods would be best. For early fine lines superficial fillers with or without Botox are usually fine. The newest are Restylane Silk, Volbella, Belotero and soon Restylane Fine. For deeper lines more robust fillers like Juvederm, Restylane and Radiesse are best, but now PDO threads are also being used to give significant improvement. Energy based treatments such as Thermi Smooth, Ulthera and Fractional lasers are more permanent and lasting treatments alone or in combination with fillers. Finally, in skilled hands, Dermabrasion is a very successful long duration solution.

Answer: Perioral Lines and Fillers Fillers would be the best treatment for these perioral lines. Without a photo I am assuming that they are deep and could be filled with Voluma or Juvederm. Superficial lines can be treated with Fraxel, chemical peels, PRP and Microneedling. Please consult a board certified dermatologist for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Lasers vs peels. Laser treatment is possible, but if the lines are v deep performing this procedure JUST around the mouth area will result in what we call the 'milk mo'- white areas on the upper lip. Not a good look. If you have a look at my before and after pictures, you can see how Specialist treat lines in this area- namely a blend . This means we do treat the entire face as it gives a more natural look. Peels such as old fashioned phenol peels can give good results, however with the event of lasers, the later is more precise with less chance of skin colour changes. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
