Laser ResurFX. I have had 2 of my 4 treatments. I am not seeing much improvement on my lines around mouth & upper lip. I had a lower face lift that did not take care of the deep lines around my mouth, which I thought wd go away with the face lift. Is there a better treatment for my issue?

Answer: Lip Lines Dear Florida,I hope you're staying safe with the upcoming storm. In regards to your question, It takes 4 months for results to show from treatments like the Laser ResurfX. My RESET for Sun Damage procedure which is deeper is a better way to improve deep facial wrinkles and lip lines.I'll include a link below.I hope this was helpful.

Answer: Improving deep wrinkles- Lasers. Fraxel/Clear + Brilliant, RF like VIVA, Peels, Fillers, Skin Care, Face Lift, Fat, Botox Wrinkles can be improved with a combination of Botox and/or fillers for the lines themselves and to build anatomical support with Sculptra for collagen building. Ultherapy is a great skin tightening device, but works best in combination with other treatments like RF treatments, lasers, microneedling/PRP or sculptra to get increased collagen, tightening and improve skin tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Lines around lips and mouth Hi Mahoney. It looks like you may be addressing two different issues. The folds around the side of the nose and mouth are best addressed with a facelift or dermal fillers. Not sure how much improvement you received with the facelift but it does appear there is more room for improvement and that could either be another facelift or injection products like Restylane and Radiesse.For the fine lines around the mouth, you are also doing the right thing (lasers) but not sure it's at the right practitioner, because two treatments in the lines should be gone. We use the Sciton Profile Full field and fractional technology to get rid of upper and lower lip lines. How you do the treatment and anesthetize the patient is more important than what device you are using as most of these devices are very similar.
