Polaris is not effective for reducing lip lines

The gold standard for reducing Lip lines is using two different lasers at one time. After proper numbing of the skin with a powerful topical agent, We "sand down" the edges of the scars with an Erbium -Yag laser, then we tighten the skin using Microfractional CO2 laser to decrease these lines up to 90 %.
