What is the best filler for above the lip lines? Which one lasts the longest? (Photo)

There are several good options out there for perioral lines. My personal favorites are Restylane Refyne, Belotero and RHA Redensity. Longevity varies per person and product but generally you can expect to treat every 6-12 months. Using neuromodulators like Botox or Dysport around the mouth can also complement and extend the longevity of the filler.
Cost will vary widely depending on area of the country you live in and provider. Typical pricing in our area is $600-750 per syringe.

Choosing the right dermal filler for treating vertical lip lines requires careful consideration of the specific needs and characteristics of each individual. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a filler for this purpose:
Type of Filler:
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers: HA fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane are commonly used for smoker's lines. They are versatile and offer natural-looking results. They can be easily adjusted or dissolved if necessary.
Depth of Wrinkles:
For superficial or fine lines, a thinner, less viscous filler like Juvéderm Volbella or Restylane Refyne may be suitable.
For deeper lines, a thicker filler such as Juvéderm Vollure or Restylane Defyne might be more effective.
Duration of Results:
Consider how long you want the results to last. HA fillers generally last 6-12 months.
Provider Expertise:
Choose a skilled and experienced healthcare provider who is familiar with using fillers to treat smoker's lines. The provider's expertise is crucial for achieving natural-looking results.
Desired Aesthetic Outcome:
Share your aesthetic goals and concerns with your provider. They can help you choose a filler that aligns with your expectations.
Safety and Product Approval:
Combination Treatments:
Sometimes, a combination of treatments like dermal fillers and Botox can provide more comprehensive results for perioral lines.
It's important to have a thorough consultation with a qualified and experienced healthcare provider. During the consultation, your provider will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate filler or combination of treatments for your specific needs. Keep in mind that individual results may vary, so it's essential to have realistic expectations regarding the outcome of the treatment.
Good Luck!.....Lena Berlin
