How can I lighten the edges of my lips? Mainly my bottom lip. (Photo)

Question

My lips have not always been like this. When I was younger it was fully pink but over the last few years, it has gotten this way. I had a habit of licking my lips but I have stopped it for months now and still, there is no difference. I have also been regularly applying petroleum jelly.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

skin care and medical tattooing can help.

this is post inflammatory hyperpigmentation/melasma/discoloration that needs cosmelan or enlighten peels at home which we can do virtually and send to your home along with aerify peels regularly, vivatia foam, restorsea 10x, faith essence serum, and cosmelan 2 cream.

Hyperpigmentation from any type needs a combination approach of peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify,  lasers like clear and brilliant and aerolase or laser genesis, radiofrequency like venus viva, and constant skin care and sun protection.  Bimonthly facials with silk peel dermalinfusion is essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin.  If you have acne you can do additional treatments and peels to get more improvement.  I suggest a formal consultation with an expert in lasers and peels. Best, Dr. Emer.
