Fraxel Cost for the Upper Lip Lines?

Fraxel may not help smoker's lines enough. Even more aggressive older technologies such as carbon dioxide laser and dermabrasion improved the lines but they did not go away for all patients, and many complain about the thinner skin and color change (lighter, permanently). Small units of Botox may minimize the pursing of the lip (but could alter speech and smiling and eating) Thermage may tighten the skin a little via radiofrequency energy, and small aliquots of filler laid down horizontally under the cutaneous upper lip (not the red lip) helps lift these lines but it might project your lip too far forward.
The cost of Fraxel could be several hundred to more than a thousand dollars per treatment depending on the surface area treated, whether a physician or nurse / physician assistant treats you.

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.
Dr. P
